Mortimer Adler Book order

Aristoteles (384–322 v. Chr.) lehrte Alexander den Großen die Logik und durch seine philosophischen Werke jeden Philosophen seither, von Mark Aurel über Thomas von Aquin bis zu Mortimer J. Adler. Jetzt lehrt Adler – einst Vorstandsvorsitzender der renommierten Encyclopedia Britannica – die Welt die aristotelische Logik, indem er Aristoteles’ Erkenntnisse in einer aktuellen, wunderbar verständlichen Weise präsentiert. Er bringt Aristoteles’ Werk auf eine alltägliche, für jeden verständliche Ebene – »to go«, wie auf einen schnellen Kaffee mit Aristoteles. Indem er die Leser ermutigt, selbst philosophisch zu denken, bietet Adler uns einen einzigartigen Weg zu persönlichen Einsichten und zum Verständnis der grandiosen aristotelischen Philosophie, wie der Unterschied zwischen Wünschen und Bedürfnissen, der richtige Weg zum Glück und der richtige Plan für ein gutes Leben.
