-greek philosopher-
(student of ‘plato’)
(teacher of ‘alexander the great’)
.
(/ˈærɪˌstɒtəl/; greek: aριστοτέλης, pronounced [aristotélɛːs], aristotélēs)
(‘384’ – ‘322’ BC)
.
[‘aristotle’ was an ‘ancient greek philosopher’/‘scientist’ born in the city of (‘stagira’ / ‘chalkidice’), on the ‘northern periphery’ of ‘classical greece’]
.
(his father, ‘nicomachus’, died when ‘aristotle’ was a child, whereafter ”proxenus’ of ‘atarneus” became his ‘guardian’)
(at 17 (or 18) years of age, he joined plato’s ‘academy’ in ‘athens’ and remained there until the age of ’37’)
(circa ‘347 BC’)
.
(his ‘writings’ cover many ‘subjects’ (including ‘physics’, ‘biology’, ‘zoology’, ‘metaphysics’, ‘logic’, ‘ethics’, ‘aesthetics’, ‘poetry’, ‘theater’, ‘music’, ‘rhetoric’, ‘linguistics’, ‘politics’, and ‘government’) and constitute the “‘first ‘comprehensive system’ of ‘western philosophy'”)
(shortly after ‘Plato’ died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of ‘Philip II’ of Macedon, tutored ‘Alexander the Great’ beginning in 343 BC)
(teaching ‘Alexander the Great’ gave Aristotle many opportunities and an abundance of supplies)
(he established a library in the ‘Lyceum’ which aided in the production of many of his hundreds of books)
(the fact that Aristotle was a pupil of Plato contributed to his former views of ‘Platonism’, but, following Plato’s death, Aristotle immersed himself in empirical studies and shifted from ‘Platonism’ to ’empiricism’)
(he believed all peoples’ concepts and all of their knowledge was ultimately based on perception)
(Aristotle’s views on natural sciences represent the groundwork underlying many of his works)
(Aristotle’s views on physical science profoundly shaped medieval scholarship)
(their influence extended from ‘Late Antiquity’ and the ‘Early Middle Ages’ into the ‘Renaissance’, and were not replaced systematically until the ‘Enlightenment’ and theories such as ‘classical mechanics’)
(some of Aristotle’s zoological observations, such as on the ‘hectocotyl’ (reproductive) arm of the octopus, were not confirmed or refuted until the 19th century)
(his works contain the earliest known formal study of ‘logic’, which was incorporated in the late 19th century into ‘modern formal logic’)
(in ‘metaphysics’, ‘Aristotelianism’ profoundly influenced Judeo-Islamic philosophical and theological thought during the ‘Middle Ages’ and continues to influence Christian theology, especially the ‘Neoplatonism’ of the ‘Early Church’ and the scholastic tradition of the ‘Roman Catholic Church’)
(Aristotle was well known among medieval Muslim intellectuals and revered as “The First Teacher” (Arabic: المعلم الأول))
(his ethics, though always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of ‘virtue ethics’)
(all aspects of aristotle’s philosophy continue to be the object of active academic study today)
.
(though ‘aristotle’ wrote many elegant ‘treatises’ and ‘dialogues’ (‘cicero’ described his ‘literary style’ as “a river of gold”), it is thought that only around ‘1/3’ of his ‘original output’ has ‘survived’)
(the ‘best’ 1/3?)
