[AsimovsZeroth · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good refresher or introduction on Aristotle's life and philosophy. I'm a Durant fan, but I hadn't previously run across this particular work of his. I was delighted to find it easily accessible in the the public domain, especially as a librivox recording, so I could go about my day as I listened. Easy to burn through in a couple of hours. As usual, Durant makes the subject easily understandable and engaging.
