Extractions: Version for printing Xenocrates of Chalcedon was a student of Plato who entered the Academy in Athens in about 376 BC. In about 367 BC Xenocrates accompanied Plato on his journey to Syracuse following the death of Dionysius I . Xenocrates left Athens with Aristotle after Plato 's death in 347 BC when they were both invited to Assos. Xenocrates remained for around five years in Assos. Plato 's nephew Speusippus had become head of the Academy on Plato 's death, but in 340 BC he sent for Xenocrates to return to Athens to prepare to become his successor. Despite Xenocrates having been chosen to head the Academy by Speusippus, an election took place to find a successor to Speusippus after his death. It was a close battle between Xenocrates, Menedemus of Pyrrha and Heraclides Ponticus but Xenocrates triumphed by just a few votes. Although Xenocrates had been many years in Athens he had refused to become a citizen of that state since he did not approve of its close relations with Macedonia. In this respect he contrasted strongly with his predecessor Speusippus who had strongly supported the political ties between Athens and Macedonia. It is clear that the Academy at this time was far from what many picture it as, namely an institution where scholars sat thinking, isolated from the world around them. On the contrary, the

Extractions: 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,

Extractions: Lab Stuff Hippocrates (Hypokrates, c BC ). Information about Hippocrates' life is scanty. His younger contemporary Plato referred to him only twice. In the Protagoras he called Hippocrates the ' Asclepiad (i.e. member of a family of physicians) of Cos ' who taught students for fees and implied that he was as well known a physician as Polyclitus and Phidias were sculptors. In the Phaedrus Plato again refers to Hippocrates as a famous Asclepiad who had a philosophical approach to medicine. In his Politics Aristotle says that although Hippocrates was called 'the Great Physician' he was in fact small in stature, and his pupil Meno specifically stated in his history of medicine the views of Hippocrates on the causation of diseases - namely that undigested residues were produced by an unsuitable diet and that these residues excreted vapours which passed into the body and produced diseases. These are the only extant contemporary, or near-contemporary, references to Hippocrates. Five hundred years later, the Greek physician
