Aristotle
(384-322 BC)
Biography
Born at Stagira in Macedonia , the son of Nicomachus, Aristotle was together with Plato the most influential philosopher of the western tradition. At age 17 he entered Plato's academy in Athens , and remained there until Plato's death. Aristotle then accepted the invitation of Hermias to reside at Assos. Upon the death of Hermias (whose niece, Pythias, he married) in 345, Aristotle went to Mytilene on the island of Lesbos . Between 343/2 and 340 he acted as the tutor to the young Alexander the Great . In 335 he returned to Athens where he founded a school, the Lyceum. Here he organized and conducted research on many subjects, and built the first great library of antiquity. After the death of Pythias he lived with Herpyllis, by whom he had a son, Nicomachus. On the death of Alexander in 325 anti-Macedonian feeling in Athens caused Aristotle to retire to Chalcis where he died in 322.
Works
The works known in his lifetime include dialogs modelled on those of Plato, but these are now lost. It is also known that he accumulated an immense collection of natural and historical observations during his headship if the Lyceum, but these too are mainly lost. The extant corpus is nearly all preserved through the edition of Andronicus of Rhodes, made in the 1st century BC. Important works are:

    67. Aristotle

    Aristotle
    LIFE Aristotle was born in 384 BC in Stagira in northern Greece. His father, Nicomachus, was a physician with close connections to the Macedonian court, which were maintained by Aristotle and by his school even after his death. It may have been his father's influence that gave Aristotle a strong interest in anatomy and the structure of living things in general, helping him develop a remarkable talent for observation. In 367, Aristotle went to Athens to join Plato's Academy, first as a student, then as a teacher. Plato had gathered around him a group of outstanding men who worked in a wide variety of subjects, ranging from medicine and biology to mathematics and astronomy. They shared no common doctrine but were united by the systematic effort to organize human knowledge on a firm theoretical basis and expand it in all directions. This effort, more than anything else, characterizes Aristotle's own work. It was also part of the Academy's program to train young men for a political career and to provide advice to rulers. Thus, after Plato's death, Aristotle joined (347) the court of Hermias of Atarneus, and later went (343) to the court of Philip II of Macedonia, where he became tutor to the young Alexander the Great. In 335, Aristotle returned to Athens to found his own school, the Lyceum, or Peripatus. Whereas the Academy had become rather narrow in its interests since Plato's death, the Peripatus under Aristotle and his successor, Theophrastus, pursued a wider range of subjects than the Academy ever had. In particular, prominence was given to the detailed study of nature. After the death of Alexander the Great in 323, anti-Macedonian feeling in Athens rose, and Aristotle retired to Chalcis, where he died the following year.

    The Educational Theory of Aristotle
    Analyst: Elizabeth Mays RETURN edited 2/26/01
    I. Theory of Value What knowledge and skills are worthwhile learning? The purpose of the state is to educate the people to make them virtuous. Virtue is the life principle of the state. The goal of the state is to educate with a view toward its own institutions (to preserve them) - political education of all citizens (179, Davidson). [Virtue is the perfection of reason. Reason is the source of the first principles of knowledge. Reason deals with the abstract and ideal aspects. Active reason makes the world intelligible ("Aristotle" 384-322 BC). What are the goals of education? Education is a function of the State, and is conducted, primarily at least, for the ends of the State. State - highest social institution which secures the highest goal or happiness of man. Education is preparation for some worthy activity (169, Davidson). Education should be guided by legislation to make it correspond with the results of psychological analysis, and follow the gradual development of the bodily and mental faculties ("Aristotle" 384-322 BC). Specifically, technical Skills - play, physical activity, moral and physical education - gymnastic training or physical ed; music; Liberal ed. - reading and writing; ages 15 to 21 -mathematics, geometry, astronomy, grammar, literature, poetry, rhetoric, ethics, and politics; age 21 - theoretical subjects - physics, cosmology, biology, psychology, logic, and metaphysics (112, Ornstein)

    The Ancients and the Scholastics
    The study of the economy in Western civilization began largely with the Greeks, particularly Aristotle and Xenophon , with minor contributions by other writers. We refer to these as the "Ancients". The "Scholastics" refer to the group of 13th and 14th Century theologians, notably the Dominican St. Thomas Aquinas , that set down the dogma of the Catholic Church in light of the resurrection of the Greek philosophy in the hands of 12th Century Islamic scholars . In the economic sphere, we can discern roughly four themes the Scholastics were particularly concerned with: property, justice in economic exchange, money, and usury. The coexistence of private property with Christian teachings was never comfortable. In the 5th Century, the early Church fathers (the "Patricians", e.g. St. Augustine) had struck down "communistic" Christian movements and the Church itself went on to accumulate enormous amounts of property. In the 12th Century, St. Francis of Assisi began a movement (the "Franciscans"), which insisted on vows of poverty, "brotherhood" and deplored the accumulative tendencies of the Church. Against the Franciscans were arrayed St. Thomas

    Greek Philosophy
    Socrates "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle In 300 BC, Socrates (470-399BC) engaged his learners by asking questions (know as the Socratic or dialectic method). He often insisted that he really knew nothing, but his questioning skills allowed others to learn by self-generated understanding. Plato (428-348 BC), who was a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, wrote down the Dialogues, which have inspired thinkers for more than two thousand years. Plato called this process the dialectic, and considered it the pinnacle of learning. One of the significant features of the dialogical (dialectic) method is that it emphasizes collective, as against solitary activity. This is a question and answer form of arguing with an "expert" on one side and a "searcher" on the other. In the dialogues, the questioning of the expert by the searcher often exposes gaps in the reasoning. It is through this back and forth argument amongst friends (or adversaries) that understanding grows and becomes revealed to the learners. Such philosophical pursuit alongside and within a full education allows humans to transcend their desires and sense in order to attain true knowledge. Plato founded what is said to be the first university - his Academy (near Athens) in around 385 BC. He also believed that all knowledge is innate at birth and is perfectible by experiential learning during growth. This was an early suggestion to the current theory of

    Aristotle (384-322 BC)
    A Greek philosopher who stressed the importance of direct observations in securing facts and data. He drew conclusions from direct observations, and thus initiated the basis for a scientific method of solving problems. Earlier philosophers had a tendency to reach conclusions and then select data and facts that agreed with their conclusions. He theorized that in the living world there was a gradual change from the simple and imperfect to the more complex and perfect, thus suggesting the idea of evolution. He developed a theory that everything was made from a combination of Earth, Water, Fire and Air. These gave the basic properties Dry, Wet, Hot and Cold. See also: Plato

    ARISTOTLE (384-322 B.C.)
    BIOGRAPHY

    Aristotle was born in Stagira, on the border of Macedonia. His mother, Phaestis, was from a family of doctors, and his father, Nicomachus, was the court physician to the king of Macedonia. At seventeen Aristotle was sent to Athens . There he studied in Plato's Academy for two decades, but, as he later wrote, he loved the truth more than he loved Plato , and so he had no mind to remain a mere disciple. In 347, after Plato 's death, he left Athens and spent the next four years conducting zoological investigations on the islands of Assos and Lesbos. Mosaic of Alexander the Great (356-323) from Pompeii. About 343 he was called to Macedonia by King Philip to tutor the king's sonthe future Alexander the Great. Upon Alexander's ascension to the throne seven years later, Aristotle returned to Athens to set up the Lyceum, a rival to the Academy. Aristotle did much of his teaching walking up and down the colonnades with advanced students. As a result, his school and philosophy came to be called by the Greek word for walking around: "peripatetic." Tradition has it that as Alexander the Great moved east, conquering Persia and moving into India, he would send back biological specimens for Aristotle's school. While most scholars doubt this popular story, it is nevertheless clear that under Alexander's patronage, the Lyceum flourished.

    ARISTOTLE (384-322 BC) AND INFINITE DIVISIBILITY
    Before we can reasonably examine Aristotle's views on the subject, we need to briefly outline the events and conditions that transpired between Zeno and Aristotle. It was during this period that true Atomism was born.
    The Birth of Atomism Proper
    The birth of atomism in its modern form can be traced to a reinterpretation of Melissos's arguments to support Eleatic monism. Melissos re-presented Parmenides' arguments in Ionic prose, but he deviated from Parmenides' teachings. Parmenides claimed the real was a sphere, which suggests that the real was finite. Melissos claimed that the real was infinite. The real, he said, could only be limited by empty space, and there is no empty space. Melissos also presented a reductio argument against pluralism. If there were many things, they would have to be of the same description as I say the One is. While Parmenides had earlier advocated the spherical nature of the one, it was Melissos's assertion that there was no empty space that suggests the next development. Combining Parmenides sphere with the denial of both Melissos's assertions, that the real is infinite and that there is no empty space, yields a spherical non-infinite "real" in existing empty space. The denial of monism multiplies these non-infinite reals and produces atoms. That task fell to Leukippos. Leukippos (450-420 bc) It is certain that Aristotle and Theophrastos both regarded [Leukippos] as the real author of the atomic theory.

Aristotle joined Plato's academy at the age of 17 but soon came to disagree with his teacher. If Plato pointed to the sky then Aristotle pointed to the earth and turned Plato's theory of forms on its head. He claimed that the world of perceived things is the real world and that there are no perfect forms in a realm beyond. Knowledge, therefore, is not a grasping after forms but is built upon the careful grouping, naming, comparing and categorising of all the varied things as they appear in the world and that's exactly what Aristotle spend much of his life doing.

    Aristotle (384-322 BCE.): General Introduction Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article)
    Additional IEP articles on Aristotle are devoted to his discussions of motion metaphysics biology ethics ... poetics Life Upon the death of Philip, Alexander succeeded to the kingship and prepared for his subsequent conquests. Aristotle's work being finished, he returned to Athens, which he had not visited since the death of Plato. He found the Platonic school flourishing under Xenocrates, and Platonism the dominant philosophy of Athens. He thus set up his own school at a place called the Lyceum. When teaching at the Lyceum, Aristotle had a habit of walking about as he discoursed. It was in connection with this that his followers became known in later years as the peripatetics , meaning "to walk about." For the next thirteen years he devoted his energies to his teaching and composing his philosophical treatises. He is said to have given two kinds of lectures: the more detailed discussions in the morning for an inner circle of advanced students, and the popular discourses in the evening for the general body of lovers of knowledge. At the sudden death of Alexander in 323 BCE., the pro-Macedonian government in Athens was overthrown, and a general reaction occurred against anything Macedonian. A charge of impiety was trumped up against him. To escape prosecution he fled to Chalcis in Euboea so that (Aristotle says) "The Athenians might not have another opportunity of sinning against philosophy as they had already done in the person of Socrates."
