Disciple of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. "Father of Western Philosophy". Aristotle (384–322 B.C.E.) numbers among the greatest philosophers of all time. Judged solely in terms of his philosophical influence, only Plato is his peer: Aristotle’s works shaped centuries of philosophy from Late Antiquity through the Renaissance, and even today continue to be studied with keen, non-antiquarian interest. A prodigious researcher and writer, Aristotle left a great body of work, perhaps numbering as many as two-hundred treatises, from which approximately thirty-one survive. The Categories Politics: a treatise on government Ethics of Aristotle Poetics Aristotle's history of animals.
Ancient Greek Philosophy is not just about thinking and ideas. The definition of philosophy used to encompass ethics, politics, metaphysics (both spiritual and physical medicine), rhetoric, and other modalities. Plato and Aristotle are two of the most reputable figures of Western philosophy. Aristotle was Plato’s student at the Academy in Athens. However, some say Aristotle ended up surpassing his teacher. The two had quite the rivalry of ideas; according to some, Plato’s being more abstract and Aristotle’s more practical. Plato's Early: The Apology of Socrates, Charmides, Crito, Euthyphro, Ion, Laches, Lysis, Menexenus Plato's Middle: The Republic, The Allegory of the Cave, Symposium, Meno, Phaedo Plato's Late: Critias Aristotle's: Poetics The Athenian Constitution Parva Naturalia Sense and Sensibilia On Memory On Sleep On Dreams On Divination in Sleep On Length and Shortness of Life On Youth, Old Age, Life and Death, and Respiration
In Poetics, Aristotle sets about laying the foundations of critical thought about the arts. One of the most influential books in Western civilization, Poetics reveals not only a great intellect analyzing the nature of poetry, music, and drama, but also a down-to-earth understanding of the practical problems facing the poet and playwright.
This volume represents the high-water mark of the thought of Eliphas Levi. It may be regarded as written by him as his Thesis for the Grade of Exempt Adept, just as his "Ritual and Dogma" was his Thesis for the grade of a Major Adept. He is, in fact, no longer talking of things as if their sense was fixed and universal. He is beginning to see something of the contradiction inherent in the nature of things, or at any rate, he constantly illustrates the fact that the planes are to be kept separate for practical purposes, although in the final analysis they turn out to be one. This, and the extraordinarily subtle and delicate irony of which Eliphas Levi is one of the greatest masters that has ever lived, have baffled the pedantry and stupidity of such commentators as Waite.
We live in an era rife with cultural conflict. The 21st century is by no means free of wars, terrorism, riots, famine, nor epidemics. We may attempt to solve the challenges of our times by uniting the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, science, and technology. Our modern reality requires a fundamental understanding of the problems beleaguering our existence. Science and literature are key tools for gaining this insight. The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future. Our ability to learn from those who have come before is precisely what led Protagoras to declare that “Man is the meas...
Aristóteles (384 a.C.– 322 a.C.) foi um importante filósofo grego. Um dos pensadores com maior influência na cultura ocidental, tendo sido discípulo do filósofo Platão. Aristóteles elaborou todo um sistema filosófico no qual pensou sobre praticamente todos os assuntos existentes, como a geometria, física, metafísica, botânica, zoologia, astronomia, medicina, psicologia, ética, drama, poesia, retórica, matemática e lógica. A Poética (em latim: poiétikés), provavelmente registrada entre os anos 335 a.C. e 323 a.C., é um conjunto de anotações das aulas de Aristóteles sobre o tema da poesia e da arte em sua época, transmitidos oralmente aos seus alunos. Trata-se do primeiro texto conhecido que procura especificamente analisar determinadas formas da arte e da literatura, e é também um registro limitado de como era a arte grega em seu tempo. A Poética não é apenas a primeira teoria do Teatro ocidental; trata-se de um livro que influenciou essa arte ao longo de sua história e que ainda ecoa nos tempos atuais.
