Moseley presents a well organized synthesis of the works of Aristotle in this 21st volume of the Bloomsbury Library of Educational Thought. The author begins with Aristotle's early intellectual influences in education and in culture. Moseley organizes the works of Aristotle into applicable theory and explores the great philosopher's impact on various educational systems throughout history. -- Eithne O'Leyne Book News Inc Dr Moseley's book provides a great help to scholars of education. He gives a thorough background in Aristotle's ethical and political theory to include the place of Aristotle's comments on education within his larger system.

His account of Aristotle's legacy is well-worth knowing. -- Jeffrey Carr, (Adjunct) Professor of Philosophy, Tidewater Community College and Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Illinois State University, USA
