Aristotle in a New Perspective: Introduction to the Theory of the Four Discourses

"I look forward to having my hard copy. Quite an interesting and convincing book." - PhD Michael Hendry

The best-selling philosopher Olavo de Carvalho gives us a new look at Aristotle and the Four Discourses with far-reaching implications for our own culture.

Most academics think that Aristotle considered analytics, dialectic, rhetoric and poetics, to be unrelated modes of thought, or even in opposition to each other. But this was always nothing more than a guess, and often held out of mere inertia.

Olavo takes a closer look at Aristotle to show that Aristotle himself considered these four types of discourse as part of a single holistic whole. Analysis isn't opposed to poetics, but actually works together with it.

In modern society, where there is a tendency to box every subject off as its own domain, Olavo's illumination of Aristotle's true mode of thought is a freeing moment.
