Herman, Arthur, 1956-2014
Books
This title provides an enthralling history of the rivalry and rival ideas of two men that made Western civilization what it is today: Plato and Aristotle. Arthur Herman reveals how rather than a linear evolution of thought, the history of Western civilization has been a constant battle of ideas beginning with the rivalry between just two philosophers.
