February 23, 2015 #09 – Peter Adamson on Aristotle - Life Of Alexander The Great
If you’re not already one of the many fans of Peter Adamson’s “History Of Philosophy Without Any Gaps” podcast, you will be by the end of this episode. Peter does to philosophy what we do to history – he provides a blow-by-blow account of the ideas, lives and historical context of the major philosophers as well as the lesser-known figures of the tradition.
Peter is a Professor of Philosophy at the LMU in Munich and was previously at King’s College London.
We invited him onto the show to discuss philosophy in the days of Philip and Alexander, with a special focus on Aristotle.

We go into excruciating detail about the political machinations between Caesar and his enemies in Rome that lead up to the fateful day (10 or 11 January 49 BCE) when Caesar declares “The Die Is Cast” and crosses the Rubicon river that marks the boundary between Gaul and Italy, taking the 13th legion with him.
