More about the book
Aristotle's upbringing in a royal household as the son of a court physician shaped his scholarly life, providing him with unique political insights. His connection with Philip of Macedon and the tradition of tutoring Alexander the Great highlight his interactions with power, despite his philosophical critiques of war and conquest. While he valued political engagement, Aristotle spent much of his life in Athens, where his non-citizen status prevented direct political participation. This tension between his teachings and personal experience adds depth to his philosophical legacy.
