ARISTOTLE:
THE GROWTH AND STRUCTURE . OF HIS THOUGHT
G. E. R. LLOYD
Lecturer in Classics in the University of Cambridge
Dr Lloyd writes for those who want to discover and explore Aristotle's work for themselves. He acts as mediator between Aristotle and the modern reader.

This is a concise andiuciid account of the work of a difficult and profound thinker. Dr Lloyd's business is only with the essentials; but he does not shirk the difficulties which arise in their interpretation. Nor does he invest Aristotle with a spurious modernity. He recognizes that a good deal of what Aristotle had to say has a continuing importance, but does not exaggerate the extent to which his ideas are relevant to current philosophical issues. Above all, he conveys a strong sense of the breadth and originality of the widest ranging of all the European philosophers.
