The Life and Philosophy of Aristotle

The legacy and influence of Aristotle has been almost without comparison in the history of European philosophy, so much so that deviating from his thought during the Middle Ages would have been met with animosity and ridicule. His reign of “over a millennium of intellectual history came to an end only with the audacious irreverence of Occam and Ramus, the experimental science of Roger Bacon, and the innovating philosophy of Francis Bacon.” - Will Durant
As with many of my videos I can never repay the debt I owe to Will and Ariel Durant, many of their works have been invaluable in collecting information for the composition of these videos as well as inspiring my own love of philosophy.

The legacy of Aristotle thought is like no other. From his idea of what reality is and that which is truth is enough to help us understand the eternal aspect of existence.

All of Western Society was in awe when Aristotle was first translated. I live my life by these rules over my family's religion. "Nicomachean Ethics" was written for his son. I figure he meant what he was saying.

[@angjelinhila927]

@@LetsTalkPhilosophy Among them is an understatement. Top 2 or 3 and one of the greatest minds in human history. His intellectual achievements are unparalleled by another single person, scientist or philosopher.

[@angjelinhila927]

I'm inclined to agree. There's no other single individual that achieved so much, and much of it developed almost ex nihil, which is nearly unheard of. Most intellectual achievements are incremental improvements, including Newton and Einstein, though they are his peers as some of the greatest minds to ever live.

[@visionplant]

Aristotle was one of the greatest philosophers of Greek antiquity and was also a great natural scientist and the founder of a whole range of sciences. Formal logic reached its highest point with Aristotle. But he was also a product of his time. Of course Aristotle was opposed to the notion of revolution because ancient society had no way out. There was no class in this society which could offer any sort of antithetical, revolutionary outlet, like the working class under capitalism. On the question of slavery, democracy in ancient Greece did not and could not have a fundamentally different viewpoint, since its existence was based on resources of the state provided by slave labor.

His most Old in Modern

[@c4call]

Philosophers are no different from everyone else. You'll notice that the ones who have a decent relationship with their father such as Aristotle had, tend to have better ideas, That end up providing better results. They also seem less likely to have mental illness. He had a generally good relationship with both his father and his son, who he named after his father.

[@iamclarity333]

Is this a real person talking or AI?

[@LetsTalkPhilosophy]

If you find an AI that can speak like me let me know, might save me some time and will probably pronounce things better.

[@ShanefromSydneyAustralia]

Researchers believe Oswald was drinking a coke in the 2nd floor lunch room but don't believe he was standing out front on the steps watching the motorcade? Why ? Because a policeman stated it but 99% of Oswald's movements was guess work or false testimony. He was leaving work early that day and also you can see him standing out front with a coat over his shoulder. Then he walked asap to the car picking him up. Having a bus ticket in his (so called pocket) doesn't mean he caught a bus. It means police reorganized Oswald's movements after he died falsifying TSBD workers accounts all the way to Tippit them the movie theater ... That's why he was so confident when caught je had other workers ready to swear witness he was out front. They had 2 wallets of Oswald's for God's sake. Get it !!

Lol idk what you mean by pc but I know this has been used for years upon years no way is it new bruv

[@TheDoctor1225]

@@brickdinero5468 Agreed. Like the OP, I also thought that "CE" and "BCE" were yet another politically correct way of trying to change what had always been used. I was quite chagrined to find out that I was TOTALLY wrong. The terms were used as early as the 1700's and became more popular in the 19th century, especially among Jewish scholars. In point of fact, BC and AD weren't used commonly until almost 1000 years after Christ had walked the Earth. The general idea is that for scholarly and scientific purposes, CE and BCE were a more accurate way of dating historical events since there was no actual date known that pinned down Christ's birth (something Christians acknowledge as well). It never really caught on in the mainstream and still hasn't for the most part, but there's nothing subversive or "trying to remove Christ from the calendar" about it.
