About Aristotle

Aristotle (Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotelēs; 384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the teacher of Theophrastus and founder of the Lyceum, the Peripatetic school of philosophy, and the Aristotelian tradition. His writings cover many subjects including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, meteorology, geology and government. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. It was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion.

Additional quotes by Aristotle

Now the proofs furnished by the speech are of three kinds. The first depends upon the moral character of the speaker, the second upon putting the hearer into a certain frame of mind, the third upon the speech itself, in so far as it proves or seems to prove. [4]

Men seem to pursue honour in order that they may believe themselves to be good. Accordingly, they seek to be honoured by the wise, and by those who know them well, and on the score of virtue; it is clear, therefore, that in their opinion at any rate, virtue is superior to honour. Perhaps, then, one ought to say that virtue rather than honour is the end of the political life; yet even virtue is plainly too imperfect: for it seems that a man might have all the virtues and yet be asleep, or fail to achieve anything all his life; moreover, such a person may suffer the greatest evils and misfortunes. And no one, in this case, would call a man, who passed his life in this manner, happy, except for argument's sake. (Bk. 1, Chapter III)

تشابهت علينا الأيام فلم نعد نفرق بين حاضرنا ولا ماضينا و تساوت بمذاقها و ألوانها و رائحتها

كأننا صرنا محصنين من الدهشة فلم يعد يدهشنا شئ و توقفنا عن ادراك الاشياء التي تحدث حولنا

نبتعد عن طريق الحياة و نقترب من طريق الوحدة
الدهشة بداية العلم وفى الكون أشياء وأحداث كثيرة مدهشة أحداث وقعت من ألوف السنين وأحداث وقعت من ألوف الأيام وليس علينا الا ان نندهش وان نفتح عقولنا أوسع من عيوننا ونتساءل مامعنى ذلك؟

ولماذا؟

وهل سيحدث ماحدث؟
