Book Description:
'A brave attempt to look at the world and to decide what an intelligent man should think about it' Sunday Times
From the Back Cover:
Two years after The Collector had brought him international recognition and a year before he published The Magus, John Fowles set out his ideas on life in The Aristos. The chief inspiration behind them was the fifth-century BC philosopher Heraclitus. In the world he posited of constant and chaotic flux, the supreme good was the Aristos, 'of a person or thing, the best or most excellent of its kind'.
'What I was really trying to define was an idea of human freedom (the Aristos) in an unfree world,' wrote Fowles in 1965. He called a materialisti and over-conforming culture to reckoning with his views on a myriad of subjects - pleasure and pain, beauty and ugliness, Christianity, humanism, existentialism, socialism.
