Review
Gower's approaches to structure are not faulty; apparent digressions are actually sound within the concept of right reason and the need for right judgment using reason; considers parts of the CA usually thoughts of as "digressions," i.e., evils of war (Book III), uses of labor (VI), religions of the world (V), and philosophy of Aristotle under guise of the education of Alexander (VII).
