As an ethicist, Aristotle is essentially a tribal philosopher. Read Aristotle and you will learn what it means to be a wise and temperate ancient Macedonian-Athenian aristocratic man. And you will also learn things about how to be a better human, because some lessons for ancient Macedonian-Athenian aristocratic men apply more widely. But Aristotle will not help you figure out whether abortion is wrong, whether you should give more of your money to distant strangers, or whether developed nations should have single-payer healthcare systems.
