Historical interest?

Aristotle’s approach to ethics isn’t just of historical interest. Many modern philosophers believe that he was right about the
importance of developing the virtues, and that his view of what happiness is was accurate and inspiring.


What does "interest" in the context mean? Thank you!!

"of interest" is a set phrase that means about the same as "interesting". In your sentence "historical" tells us the way in which it is interesting (which is said to be not the only way).
