Aristotle's Children by
Richard E. Rubenstein, is a 368 page book composed of eight main chapters. The
basic premise of the book is how Aristotle's works were lost to the Western
world and only rediscovered during the middle ages, in addition we are given
some insight into how that discovery effected the scientific, philosophic, and
theological views of that time. The author does a brilliant job of not only relaying facts, but also of telling the story in an interesting and vibrant way. It was fascinating to read about Aristotle plus to trace this man's influence through the late classical period into the middle ages. I found it astonishing how Aristotle's works also influenced theology and was a major factor in various church conflicts.
I think this book is worth reading.
