An Illustrated Brief History of Western Philosophy, ch. 4

Aristotle is truly an intellectual giant. Covering some of the major and definitely all of the most foundational areas of thought, Aristotle begins Western thinking. The founder of logic proper, the one who articulates metaphysics, and expounding on being and the soul. I was surprised to hear that of "first philosophy", Aristotle believed that theology is the most honorable. I was interested in the connection between virtue and happiness as this is a subject that I have been thinking a lot about this week. All in all, Aristotle's impact on this world could be unmatched by any other human being aside from the Lord Jesus Christ.
