What did Aristotle say about life?
One of the greatest intellectual figures, Aristotle was an Ancient Greek philosopher and scientist. Along with Plato – another outstanding philosopher – Aristotle is referred to as the “Father of Western Philosophy.”
After Plato’s death, Aristotle left Athens and
became the tutor of Alexander the Great. Teaching a king had opened him many doors and opportunities, so later on he founded his own school in Athens – the Lyceum.
Aristotle is best known as the founder of formal logic. The philosopher’s goal was to come up with a universal process of reasoning that would help people be able to learn anything.
Many of his principles, observations and theories on subjects like physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics and politics were universally accepted by Western philosophers until the 19th century.
Aristotle basically influenced almost all forms of knowledge. Some of his most important works include Nichomachean Ethics, Politics, Metaphysics, On the Soul, Poetics and Prior Analytics.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.
The high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think.
Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.
Learning is not child’s play; we cannot learn without pain.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
