Aristotle

Aristotle and John Locke both value the importance of reason in understanding the world and human nature. They both believe in the notion of natural law, which suggests that there are universal ethical principles that govern human behavior. Additionally, both philosophers emphasize the idea of individual rights and the importance of political systems that protect those rights.

Democritus's ideas were mostly rejected in his time because they were theoretical and lacked empirical evidence to support them. Additionally, his atomic theory conflicted with prevailing philosophical and religious beliefs, which hindered its acceptance. It wasn't until much later, with advances in science and technology, that his ideas saw a revival and were confirmed through experiments.

He put animals in three categories: water, air, and land. Not all birds fly and some animals, like frogs, live in the water and land, not just one place.

Aristotle's influence on Western thought was vast and enduring. His work in logic, metaphysics, ethics, politics, and natural sciences laid the foundation for many fields of study. His ideas shaped centuries of philosophical and scientific inquiry, impacting fields as diverse as psychology, biology, and politics. Aristotle's systematic approach to knowledge and his emphasis on empirical observation continue to influence modern thought and inquiry.

In Aristotle's time, people had only first names. They would be called by their first name and sometimes by the place where they grew up. There were a lot less people then and the system worked fine.

Aristotle believed in a mixed government that combines elements of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. He argued that this mixed form of government, in which power is shared by different classes, could prevent the pitfalls of tyranny, oligarchy, and mob rule.

Yes it is. You're close to living in one.

"Tyranny is a compound of the extreme forms of oligarchy and democracy...Tyrants are drawn from the populace and the masses, to serve as their protectors against the notables, and in order to prevent them from suffering any injustice from that class...it may safely be said that most tyrants have begun their careers as demagogues, who won the popular confidence by calumniating the notables..." Aristotle, Politics Bk V, Ch X

Aristotle went to Athens to be taught by Plato.

Aristotle distinguished natural motion as the inherent tendency of objects to move towards their natural place in the cosmos, while violent motion is imposed on objects externally by an external force. Natural motion is seen as orderly and goal-oriented, while violent motion is considered irregular and disruptive.

Socrates founded the Socratic Method of questioning. He believed in improvement of the individual, and was executed by hemlock for corrupting the youth of Athens by teaching them to think for themselves.

Aristotle's last name is Stagiritis. related question: whats aristotles full name?

Aristotle stated that a falling object accelerated in accordance with its mass, again Aristotle was provedwrong.

Aristotle was critical of democracy, viewing it as a flawed system that could lead to mob rule and the tyranny of the majority. He believed that a better form of government would be a mixed constitution that combines elements of democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy to prevent these pitfalls.

Aristotle's work was purely theoretical. Whether you define it as scientific or not depends on your definition of scientific. He did not use experiments to prove his work, and if he did he did not conduct them in a scientific way (using the scientific method).

Aristotle identified four types of conflict: man vs. self, man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. society. These conflicts are commonly used in storytelling to create tension and drive the plot forward.

The name of Aristotle's school was the Lyceum. It was a center for learning and philosophy in ancient Athens.

Aristotelianism is the philosophy/worldview of Aristotle, a 4th century BCE philosopher from Macedonia who taught at a school in Athens, Greece. Aristotle was what in that time would have been considered a scientist, examining and analyzing the various phenomena of the natural world, biological life in particular. He was a student of Plato. He conceptually analyzed every particular entity in the world into 4 "causes" or aspects: the material cause (what the entity is made of), the formal cause (how the material is arranged and behaves), the agent cause (what forms the raw material into the formed material which is the entity), and the final cause (what the entity acts towards; the entity's goal). The first and third causes mentioned above Aristotle derived from earlier philosophers and the formal cause he modified from his teacher Plato's conception to be less abstract to be understood only as an aspect of an entity rather than a self-existent non-material entity itself. The final cause was largely Aristotle's own contribution to philosophy and was no doubt influenced by Aristotle's study of biological life with the animals' various parts working in tandem for some common purpose. The above causes that I mentioned are elements of Aristotle's Metaphysics, his investigation into the most fundamental elements/structures of the world of our experience. He also wrote his Physics, which is his analysis of entities in motion; his Logic, his analysis of the categories and concepts by which we process and speak about the world; his Psychology; and his Ethics.

Aristotelianism today applies mostly to the systematic investigation and articulation, begun by Aristotle, of Metaphysics, Logic, and Ethics but is more of a way of understanding the world in broad or general strokes aided as much as possible by the results of the empirio-metric sciences. It may well be argued that Aristotle's notions of substantial forms and final causes are outside of the scope of empirio-metric science, that is to say they are not measurable, but they are nonetheless valid and universal observations which are best developed by means of careful reasoning.

Aristotle believed that human beings are rational animals, capable of reason and virtue. He thought that humans strive for happiness and fulfillment through the pursuit of reason and living a virtuous life. Aristotle also emphasized the importance of community and social relationships in fulfilling human nature.

If by church you mean ecclesia than Aristotle was never accused of one. If by church you mean the more modern understanding of church, as in the Christian church, than he obviously could not have committed one as it would not exist until at least 300 years after his death. However if you mean ecclesia or if you mean the gods and you mean Socrates, than he was accused of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety.

Aristotle's teacher was Plato, who founded the Academy in Athens where Aristotle studied for around 20 years. Aristotle went on to become one of the most influential philosophers in history.

Since linguistic philosophy tends to be considered by its proponents to be a method or a group of methods, internal diversity within the area of concern is not surprising. Similarly, Existentialism, which is less of an "-ism" than an attitude, expresses itself in a variety of ways. The most influential modern Existentialists have been the German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) and the French philosopher, dramatist, and novelist Jean Paul Sartre (1905-80); the former was especially important in the development of modern continental theology, particularly for the use made of some of his ideas by Rudolf Bultmann. According to Heidegger, man's existence is characterized as "care." This care is shown first in possibility: man makes things instrumental to his concerns and so projects forward. Secondly, there is his facticity, for he exists as a finite entity with particular limitations (his "thrownness"). Thirdly, man seeks to avoid the anxiety of his limitations and thus seeks inauthentic existence. Authenticity, on the other hand, involves a kind of stoicism (positive attitude toward life and suffering) in which death is taken up as a possibility and man faces the "nothing." The structure of man's world as analyzed by Heidegger is revealed, in a sense, affectively--i.e., through care, anxiety, and other existential attitudes and feelings. Sartre's thought has had less direct impact on the study of religion, partly because his account of human existence represents an explicit alternative to traditional religious belief. Sartre's analysis begins, however, from the human desire to be God: but God is, on Sartre's analysis, a self-contradictory notion, for nothing can contain the ground of its own being. In searching for an essence man fails to see the nature of his freedom, which is to go beyond definitions, whether laid down by God or by other human beings.

Aristotle's full real name is Aristotle of Stagira.

Aristotle's system of classification was based on morphology and characteristics without a standardized hierarchy, while Linnaeus's system classified organisms based on shared physical characteristics and introduced a standardized hierarchical ranking system. Aristotle's system was more descriptive and subjective, focusing on superficial similarities, whereas Linnaeus's system was more organized and structured, laying the foundation for modern taxonomy.

Aristotle. They didn't have last names to speak of, back then. Instead of a last name, they would might say Henry "son of" [his father's first name] We see this influence today in names like Ander's son (Anderson) or John's son (Johnson}. Another way to identify a person was by adding to their first name the location they were from.

A well-known example is Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was his name, Vinci was the town he was from. (da Vinci means "of Vinci".

Another popular method of identifying a person was by what he did for a living. For instance, Fred Smith (Blacksmith), Fred Chandler (candle-maker), Fred Wainwright (someone who makes 'wains', whatever they are . . .) or Fred Fletcher (arrowmaker).
