In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a lesser-known aspect of Aristotle's life: his political entanglements with the Macedonian court, particularly through his lost dialogue 'On Kingship' written for Alexander the Great. They discuss how Aristotle's role as tutor to Alexander influenced both the young prince's education and later policies, including the foundation of cities like Alexandria. The conversation touches on the tension between Aristotle's philosophical ideals and the realities of Macedonian imperialism, as well as the fragmentary evidence that survives from his lost works. Listeners will learn about the political context of Aristotle's time in Pella, his relationship with figures like Antipater and Callisthenes, and how his advice to Alexander may have shaped the Hellenistic world.
