Synopsis
In his introduction to Aristotle, Hugh Griffith follows the successful pattern established with his An Inroduction to Greek Philosophy: lively introductions explaining the background before generous sections of original text. The two principal works drawn upon are Politics and The Nichomachean Ethics, (topics include marriage, education and government) two treatises which still have a srong effect on thought today. In addition, Griffith inserts three sections from Animals - for Aristotle was one of the first to codify animals, correctly putting dolphins and whales with mammals rather than fish.
