Aristotle is a student of Plato, and he is Alexander's teacher. In 335 BC, he established a school in Athens called Lv Keang, called Minstrel.
Aristotle studied hard all his life and engaged in academic research including logic, rhetoric, physics, biology, education, psychology, politics, economics and aesthetics. He wrote a large number of works, which are ancient encyclopedias, mainly including instrumentalism, metaphysics, physics, ethics, politics and poetics. His thoughts have a far-reaching influence on later generations. He founded formal logic, enriched and developed various branches of philosophy and made great contributions to science.
Aristotle's main viewpoints and thoughts are: theoretical science, including mathematics, natural science and the first philosophy later called metaphysics; Practical science, including ethics, politics, economics, strategy and revision; The science of creation is poetics.
Aristotle was first and foremost a great philosopher. Although he was a student of Plato, he gave up the idealistic view held by his teacher. Aristotle believes that the real world is made up of all kinds of things, and their forms and materials are harmonious. Aristotle believed that knowledge originated from feeling. These thoughts already contain some materialistic factors. Aristotle, like Plato, thinks that rational scheme and purpose are the guiding principles of all natural processes. However, his views on causality are richer than Plato's. He believes that there are four main reasons: the first is material reasons, that is, the main substances that form objects. The second is the form reason, that is, the design pattern and modeling given to the main substance. The third is the dynamic reason, that is, to realize the mechanism and function provided by this design. The fourth is the purpose, that is, the purpose of designing the object. He also believes that in concrete things, there is no form without matter, and there is no matter without form. The process of combining matter with form is the movement to turn potential into reality. This theory shows the idea of spontaneous dialectics.
Aristotle's greatest contribution to philosophy is the establishment of formal logic, an important branch of discipline. Logical thinking has become the pillar of Aristotle's achievements in many fields, and this way of thinking runs through his research, statistics and thinking.
Aristotle made great contributions to the world. He wrote at least 170 works, 47 of which have been handed down from generation to generation. His scientific works are almost an encyclopedia, covering astronomy, zoology, embryology, geography, geology, physics, anatomy and physiology. In short, they include all disciplines known to the ancient Greeks. His works include three aspects: first, the accumulation of previous knowledge, second, the investigation and discovery of his assistants, and third, his own independent opinions.
Aristotle's works include the following:
Logic: category, explanation, pre-analysis, post-analysis, topic, argument; Metaphysics: Metaphysics; Natural philosophy: physics, meteorology, celestial theory and life and death theory; Animal theory: fauna, animal structure, animal movement, animal March, animal reproduction, Nicomachean ethics and 158 city-state system; About people: about the soul, about feeling and being felt, about memory, about sleep, about dreams, about omens in sleep, about the length of life, about youth, old age and death, about breathing and breathing; Ethics and politics: Nicomachean ethics, Utomo ethics and politics; There are rhetoric and poetics.
Aristotle devoted himself to the study of ancient knowledge. In the hundreds of years after his death, no one had a systematic investigation and comprehensive grasp of knowledge like him. His works are ancient encyclopedias, and his thoughts have ruled the whole of Europe.
