Life of Aristotle (1 jan 384 ano antes da era comum – 1 jan 322 ano antes da era comum)

Descrição:

"Plato’s student Aristotle (384–322 B.C.E.) also thought that true knowledge was possible, but he believed that such knowledge came from observation of the world, analysis of natural phenomena, and logical reasoning, not contemplation. Aristotle thought that everything had a purpose so that, to know something, one also had to know its function. Excellence — arête in Greek — meant performing one’s function to the best of one’s ability, whether one was a horse or a person. The range of Aristotle’s thought is staggering. His interests embraced logic, ethics, natural science, physics, politics, poetry, and art. He studied the heavens as well as the earth and judged the earth to be the center of the universe, with the stars and planets revolving around it."
