Aristotle

Aristotle- (384- 322 BCE)
I thought it would be worth while looking into the background of Aristotle, as he has had such a major impact or influence on all other philosopher, also for myself so that I can gain a better understanding of Aristotle. Each philosopher is a challenge to get, as I have not studied philosophy before a lot of research is helpful. Aristotle is a huge known figure in greek philosophy, his work contributed to mathematics, physics, biology, ethics, politics etc. He was a student of plato, and Plato was a student of Socrates. Aristotle rejected Plato's theory of form, which according to plato things such as beauty are abstract however Aristole argued that the forms are instrinsic to an object and cannot exist seperately.
Aristole created the earliest point of formal logic. For previous philosphers and including Plato never really understood the logical implications, Aristole said that 'on the subject of reasoning' he 'had nothing else on an earlier date to speak of'.
