Strathern, Paul. Aristóteles (384-322 a.C.) em 90 minutos. Rio de Janeiro : Jorge Zahar Ed., 1997.

Aristóteles (384-322 a.C.) foi tutor de Alexandre, o Grande. A história não preservou detalhes dessa relação, mas sabemos que mais tarde Alexandre esteve a ponto de assinar a sentença de morte de Aristóteles, esqueceu-se de tomar a providência e, em lugar disso, resolveu invadir a Índia. Não fosse tal fatalidade, teríamos perdido o homem cuja filosofia dominou o pensamento europeu por 1.500 anos. Foi devido a Aristóteles que o mundo medieval continuou a acreditar que o sol girava em torno da Terra e que tudo era feito de terra, água, fogo e ar.
