More about the book

Aristotle's upbringing in a royal Macedonian household provided him with unique insights into politics, having connections with influential figures like Philip of Macedon and potentially tutoring Alexander the Great. Despite his exposure to political life, Aristotle's philosophical teachings often critiqued war and conquest, emphasizing the value of intellectual and contemplative pursuits. His own life in Athens, where he lacked citizenship and political participation, further highlights the contrast between his experiences and his philosophical ideals regarding the active versus contemplative life.
