The Lagoon: How Aristotle Invented Science by Armand Marie Leroi

5.0

A book that taught me so much about Aristotle that I thought I already knew . . .

I felt challenged by this book's subtitle - "How Aristotle Invented Science" - feeling I knew enough about Aristotle to know THAT isn't true. But the author makes a compelling case that, in a way, Aristotle DID invent science . . . and how his detractors over the years have obscured that fact and misrepresented Aristotle. This read can be dense and somewhat technical at times, but I HIGHLY recommend it!
