Aristotle: Lyric of Wisdom and the Four Cardinal Virtues is part of an ongoing series exploring the philosophers who first gave shape to the virtues we still strive to live by. Following earlier volumes on Epictetus and Seneca, this book turns to Aristotle - whose ideas of balance, reason, and moderation remain central to ethical thought today.
Here you will find:
- A clear introduction to Aristotle's Golden Mean, the balance between excess and deficiency that underpins a virtuous life.
- A look into Aristotle's private world - family, household, and the realities of living within a patriarchal society of his time.
- Reflections on Aristotle's views of women, education, and the nurture of early learning.
- A chapter on art and iconography, exploring how Aristotle's legacy is reflected in images and symbols through the ages.
- A fictional novella, Cynane and Aristotle, which imagines history brought to life through character, dialogue, and setting.
The book is designed not just to inform, but to involve. Each chapter includes reflective exercises and carefully chosen images to help readers immerse themselves in the Aristotelian world. It is both a companionable guide to philosophy and a practical invitation to live with greater clarity, balance, and wisdom.
Written in easy-to-understand, approachable language, this volume makes Aristotle's thought accessible for modern readers while remaining faithful to the depth and richness of his ideas.
