Main index Aristotle and Aristotelianism HoS Index Philosophers Introduction The Life of Aristotle First period: in the Academy at Athens Second period: his travels Third period: founding and directing of the Lyceum Personality, character, and philosophical stance Writings Lost works published by Aristotle Extant works Introduction Aristotle, more than any other thinker, determined the orientation and the content of Western intellectual history. He was the author of a philosophical and scientific system that through the centuries became the support and vehicle for both medieval Christian and Islamic scholastic thought: until the end of the 17th century, Western culture was Aristotelian. And, even after the intellectual revolutions of centuries to follow, Aristotelian concepts and ideas remained embedded in Western thinking. Aristotle's intellectual range was vast, covering most of the sciences and many of the arts. He worked in physics, chemistry, biology, zoology, and botany; in psychology, political theory, and ethics; in logic and metaphysics; in history, literary theory, and rhetoric. His greatest achievements were in two unrelated areas: he invented the study of formal logic, devising for it a finished system, known as Aristotelian syllogistic, that for centuries was regarded as the sum of logic; and he pioneered the study of zoology, both observational and theoretical, in which his work was not surpassed until the 19th century.

Rogier Post 4V2 HML Donderdag 17 Mei 13:49 uur Bekijk deze pagina met een 1280*1024 beeldschermresolutie Aristoteles over de kosmos Aristoteles werd in 384 v.Ch. geboren in Stagirus, Macedonië, Griekenland. Zijn vader heette Nicomachus en was arts. Zijn moeder heette Phaestis. Toen Aristoteles tien was ging zijn vader dood en rond die tijd overleed ook zijn moeder. Aristoteles werd daarom opgevoed door Proxenus van Atarneus, die een oom of een goede familievriend was. In 367 v.Ch., op zeventien jarige leeftijd, vertrok Aristoteles naar Athene om daar student te worden aan de Academie van Plato . Na enige tijd een leerling te zijn geweest werd Aristoteles al snel leraar en bleef dat ongeveer twintig jaar. Tegen het einde van die twintig jaar werd de positie van Aristoteles bemoeilijkt door politieke problemen. Door de dood van de koning van Macedonië in 369 v.Ch. ontketende zich een machtsstrijd om de heerschappij in Macedonië. Toen Plato in 347 v.Ch. overleed besloot Aristoteles te vertrekken samen met Xenocrates van Chalcedon Ondertussen was er weer vrede tussen Athene en Macedonië door een verdrag en Aristoteles reisde door naar het hof van Macedonië. Een vaak verteld verhaal is dat Aristoteles daar les gaf aan Alexander de Grote, zoon van Philip, maar dat is zeer waarschijnlijk pas veel later verzonnen. Het verdrag tussen Athene en Macedonië stond in 340 v.Ch. op losse schroeven en het was rond die tijd dat Aristoteles een zoon kreeg bij Herpyllis, die ze Nicomachus noemden, naar de vader van Aristoteles.

86. Dante's Convivio, Lansing Translation (25). Aristotle, however, whose surname was Stagirites, and his companion Xenocratesof chalcedon, through the singular and almost divine genius which nature http://dante.ilt.columbia.edu/books/convivi/convivio4.html

The Convivio, by Dante Alighieri Translated by Richard Lansing Book Four Chapter 1 Love, according to the unanimous opinion of the sages who have spoken of it and as we see from constant experience, is what joins and unites the lover with the person loved. Consequently Pythagoras says, "Friendship unites the many into one." Since things that are joined by nature have their qualities in common with one another, to the extent that one is at times completely transformed into the nature of the other, it follows that the passions of the person loved enter into the person who loves, so that the love of the one is communicated to the other, as are hatred and desire and all other passions. Consequently the friends of the one are loved by the other, and the enemies hated; hence the Greek proverb says: "Among friends all things must be shared." Thus having become the friend of this lady who was mentioned above in the true explanation, I began to love and hate in accordance with her love and hatred. I therefore began to love the followers of truth and to hate the followers of error and falsehood, as did she. But since everything in itself merits love, and nothing hatred unless malice should overwhelm it, it is reasonable and proper to hate not the things themselves but the malice within them, and to seek to remove it from them. If anyone strives to do this, it is my most excellent lady who strives the moststrives, I mean, to remove the malice in things, which is the cause of their being hated; because in her is found all reason and likewise the source of dignity. Taking her actions as well as her feelings as my example, I sought, as far as I was able, to scorn and despise the errors of mankind, not to defame or denigrate those who err, but rather their errors. By blaming them I sought to render them displeasing, and by rendering them displeasing, to remove them from those persons whom I hated because of them.

Aristotle b. 384 BC, Stagira, Chalcidice, Greece d. 322, Chalcis, Euboea Greek ARISTOTELES, ancient Greek philosopher and scientist, one of the two greatest intellectual figures produced by the Greeks (the other being Plato). He surveyed the whole of human knowledge as it was known in the Mediterranean world in his day. More than any other thinker, Aristotle determined the orientation and the content of Western intellectual history. He was the author of a philosophical and scientific system that through the centuries became the support and vehicle for both medieval Christian and Islamic scholastic thought: until the end of the 17th century, Western culture was Aristotelian. Even after the intellectual revolutions of centuries to follow, Aristotelian concepts and ideas remained embedded in Western thinking.

He was the author of a philosophical and scientific system that through the centuries became the support and vehicle for both medieval Christian and Isl a mic scholastic thought: until the end of the 17th century, Western culture was Aristotelian. And, even after the intellectual revolutions of centuries to follow, Aristotelian concepts and ideas remained embedded in Western thinking. Aristotle's intellectual range was vast, covering most of the sciences and many of the arts. He worked in physics, chemistry, biology, zoology, and botany; in psychology, political theory, and ethics; in logic and metaphysics; in history, literary theory, and rhetoric. His greatest achievements were in two unrelated areas: he invented the study of formal logic, devising for it a finished system, known as Aristotelian syllogistic, that for centuries was regarded as the sum of logic; and he pioneered the study of zoology, both observational and theoretical, in which his work was not surpassed until the 19th century. Even though Aristotle's zoology is now out-of-date and his thought in the other natural sciences has long been left behind, his importance as a scientist is unparalleled. But it is now of purely historical importance: he, like other scientists of the past, is not read by his successors. As a philosopher Aristotle is equally outstanding. And here he remains more than a museum piece. Although his syllogistic is now recognized to be only a small part of formal logic, his writings in ethical and political theory as well as in metaphysics and in the philosophy of science are read and argued over by modern philosophers. Aristotle's historical importance is second to none, and his work remains a powerful component in current philosophical debate.

Jacques Maritain Center A History of Western Philosophy Vol. I / by Ralph McInerny Part III: The Hellenistic Period Chapter III Sceptics and the New Academy In this chapter, we want to discuss a number of Sceptics who actually antedate the Epicurean and Stoic school; our reason for postponing discussion of them will be made clear in a moment as well as the desirability of seeing in them a preliminary for a discussion of the New Academy. We will take the occasion of this chapter to indicate the subsequent history both of Scepticism and the Platonic Academy. A. Pyrrho of Elis Acclaimed by later Sceptics as their founder, Pyrrho is a man whose personal doctrine is most difficult to determine, since there was always a tendency to read later formulations back into the founder. It is said that Pyrrho posed three questions as fundamental: What are things in themselves? How should we be disposed towards them? What is the result of these dispositions? The answers he proposed are somewhat bleak. Things do not differ from one another; they are equally uncertain and indiscernable. Our sensations and judgments can be productive of neither truth nor falsity. Consequently, we should trust neither sense nor reason, but strive to be without opinions, choosing neither one side nor the other of contradictories. No matter what is at issue, we should neither affirm nor deny. The result of these dispositions towards things is apathy, ataraxy, a suspension ( epoche It is sometimes suggested that such a distinction must be referred to later Scepticism and that Pyrrho himself would subject everything to doubt: it is just as likely that I taste bitterness as sweetness. On this view, Pyrrho's tendency is a complete and utter withdrawal and he could have nothing to say even about his own sense impressions that could not be contested. In a word, he would have nothing positive at all to communicate. His message would be that we must cultivate indifference, complete apathy, a universal suspension of judgment and commitment. What then are we to make of the fact that Pyrrho started a school? A teacher may come to see that he has nothing to offer to others, but it seems unlikely that one would become a teacher to teach nothing. The reply is that Pyrrho was teaching an attitude and that. he did it as much by example as by words. The

How, let me ask, have you believed vain fables and supposed animals to be charmed by music while Truth's shining face alone, as would seem appears to you disguised, and is looked on with incredulous eyes? And so Cithaeron, and Helicon, and the mountains of the Odrysi, and the initiatory rites of the Thracians, mysteries of deceit, are hallowed and celebrated in hymns. For me, I am pained at such calamities as form the subjects of tragedy, though but myths; but by you the records of miseries are turned into dramatic compositions. But the dramas and the raving poets, now quite intoxicated, let us crown with ivy; and distracted outright as they are, in Bacchic fashion, with the satyrs, and the frenzied rabble, and the rest of the demon crew, let us confine to Cithaeron and Helicon, now antiquated. But let us bring from above out of heaven, Truth, with Wisdom in all its brightness, and the sacred prophetic choir, down to the holy mount of God; and let Truth, darting her light to the most distant points, cast her rays all around on those that are involved in darkness, and deliver men from delusion, stretching out her very strong
