Transcription of Aristotle and the Good Life - About the Society
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
4 Philosophy Autumn 2005 Aristotle , I was informed by a literary agent I came across awhile ago, is not sexy . If that means boring, irrelevant,unexciting, I strongly disagree. But this comment alertedme to the fact that Aristotle s image is unfairly tarnished,which is bound to have the unfortunate effect of stoppingpeople tapping into the rich veins of wisdom to be foundin his work. I d like to start by quickly addressing themain reasons for this lack of street cred :He had some pretty silly views About some things (women,slaves and so on), and this is often taken to imply that hecan t possibly be relevant to us.
