Aristoteles

Almost undeniable, Aristotle was a philosopher and the greatest scientist in the world of the past. He pioneered the investigation affairs logic, enriched almost every branch of philosophy and contributed much to the ineffable knowledge.
Many of Aristotle's ideas are outdated now. But the most important of what Aristotle had done is a rational approach that always underlies his work. Aristotle tulisantulisan reflected in his attitude that every aspect of human life or society is always open for the objects of thought and analysis. Opinion of Aristotle, the universe is not completely controlled by chance, by magic, by a desire not unfathomable will of god that unexpected, but the universe's behavior is subject to rational laws. This according to Aristotle's belief necessary for people to question every aspect of the natural world in a systematic and well we should take advantage of empirical observations and the reasons that logically before making decisions. Series of these attitudes - which contrary to tradition, superstition and mysticism - has been profoundly influenced European civilization.
Aristotle was born in the city Stagira, Macedonia, 384 BC. His father was a famous physicist.At the age of seventeen Aristotle went to Athens to study in the Academy of Plato. He stayed there for twenty years until shortly Plato died. From her father, Aristotle may have encouraged interest in biology and "practical knowledge". Under the tutelage of Plato he instilled an interest in philosophical speculation.
In the year 342 BC Aristotle returned to Macedonia, a teacher of a king's son was thirteen years later in a famous history of Alexander the Great. Aristotle Alexander educate the young in recent years. In the year 335 BC, after Alexander's royal throne, Aristotle returned to Athens and opened there own school, the Lyceum. He was in Athens two years, a period that coincided with the military conquests of Alexander's career. Alexander did not ask for advice to his former teacher, but he was kind enough to provide funds for Aristotle to conduct investigations. Maybe this is the first example in history of a scientist to accept a large amount of government funding for investigation purposes and it is also the last in the following centuries.
Even so, allied with Alexander contains various hazards. Aristotle rejected in principle how the dictatorship of Alexander and when the conqueror Alexander the cousin to death on charges menghianat Aristotle, Alexander also had a mind to kill Aristotle. On the one hand, Aristotle too democratic in the eyes of Alexander, he also had a close relationship with Alexander and trusted by the people of Athens. When Alexander died in 323 BC the anti-Macedonian group to power in Athens and Aristotle was accused of disrespectful to the gods. Aristotle, remembering the fate of Socrates, 76 years earlier, ran left town, saying he would not be given a second chance to those who sin against Athenian philosophers. Aristotle died in exile several months later in the year 322 BC at the age of sixty-two years.
Results of pure Aristotle astonishing numbers. Forty-seven of his work survived. List of ancient records of not less than one hundred seventy-book creation results. In fact, not just the large number of titles are impressive, but the broad reach of the power of the material civilization is no less musings-less great. Scientific labor really is the encyclopedia of knowledge for its time.Aristotle wrote about astronomy, zoology, embryologi, geography, geology, physics, anatomy, physiologi, and almost every time his work was known in ancient Greece. The results of his scientific work, is, in part, a collection of knowledge gained from the paid special assistants to collect data for him, while others are the result of a series of his own observations.
To be a most excellent expert in every branch of the impossibility of the magic and no duplicate in the subsequent one. But what has been achieved by Aristotle even more than that. He was an original philosopher, he was the main contributor in every important field of speculative philosophy, he writes on ethics and metaphysics, psychology, economics, theology, politics, rhetoric, beauty, education, poetry, customs and constitutions Athens retarded. One project is a collection of various investigations used the land for comparative studies.
Maybe once, the most important of the many results of his work is the investigation of the theory of logic, and Aristotle regarded as the founder of an important branch of this philosophy.It is actually thanks to the logical nature of Aristotle's way of thinking that allowed able to offer so many disciplines. He's got talent set ways of thinking, to formulate rules and type-type that later became the basis of thinking in many fields of science. Aristotle never kejeblos into the mystical swamp or extreme. Aristotle always insist express opinions practical. Of course, the human name, he also made mistakes. However, it is amazing how few mistakes he made in a vast encyclopaedia.
Aristotle's influence on Western thinking in the back of the day was profound. In earlier times and medieval times, their works translated into Latin languages, Arabic, Italian, French, Hebrew, German and English. Greek writers who came later, so did the Byzantine philosopher-philosopher studying his work and put a very awe. There should also be noted, many of his thoughts on the impact of Islamic philosophers and centuries-old writings dominated Western thinking. Ibn Rushd (Averroes), philosopher perhaps the most prominent Arab, trying to formulate a synthesis between Islamic theology with Aristotelian rationalism. Maimomides, the most prominent thinkers of the century Jewish synthesis achieved with Judaism. However, the most glorious work of acts like it is his Summa Theologia of St. Christian scholars. Thomas Aquinas. Outside of this list is still very much a century intellectuals who influenced the way inside the mind of Aristotle.
Aristotle's admiration for people to become so jumped in the middle of the century when the situation has lead to idolatry. In those circumstances the writings of Aristotle is more a kind of intellectual pack of telling where the question further problems than the kind of street light lamps. Aristotle is fond of studying and thinking about her affair unmistakable less agree with the blind admiration of the next generation of his writings.
Some of the ideas of Aristotle seem reactionary now measured with glasses. For example, he supported slavery because it considers in line with the line of natural law. And he believes humble dignity of women than men. Both these ideas of course - reflecting the prevailing view at that time. But, no less too many thoughts stunning modern Aristotle, for example the sentence, "Poverty is the father of revolution and crime," and the phrase "He who has pondered deeply the art of governing mankind must believe that the fate of something emperium depends on the education of children youth. " (Of course, at that time there was no school as we know it today).
In recent centuries, Aristotle's influence and reputation have declined rather than grass abysmal.However, I think his influence was so absorbing and lasted so long that I regret not placing higher than the sequence level it is today. Current level of order is very important mainly due to the thirteen men who preceded him in the order.
