Some great person shared this video on bittorrent so I'm now sharing it here on my blog. This is a twenty minute introduction to the great Aristotle produced for the Discovery Channel and presented from a specifically scientific point of view. Indeed his science etched itself so indelibly on the development of western science that it's surprising there are few videos to be found online detailing the legacy of Aristotle. This video is not detailed but compensates by being entertaining in the extreme offering a series of Pythonesque skits attempting to describe the achievements and even the behavioural habits of Aristotle and his contemporaries / predecessors. Screenshots below.
