Aristotle

Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was a Greek philosopher whose works spanned multiple disciplines including math, science and the arts. He spent his formative years in Athens, where he studied under Plato at his famed academy. Once an established scholar, he wrote more than 200 works detailing his views on physics, biology, logic, ethics and more. Due to his undeniable influence, particularly on Western thought, Aristotle, along with Plato and Socrates, is considered one of the great Greek philosophers.

Reviews for Meteorology

[danielstj · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was one of Aristotle's more fascinating texts. It's incredible to think about how critically, and carefully, he thought about the subject matter. He was able to develop his ideas quite palatably and in detail without the aid of modern science. This is not one to be missed, I recommend it for all those interested in classical literature and non-fiction.
