Introduction

Aristotle was known as the greatest thinker of all the time. Aristotle’s contributions can be seen in the several parts of science, arts, philosophy, ethics and poptics. His ideology worked as a major framework for the basis of the Christian and Islamic philosophies. In the western intellectual revolutions, pke, Renaissance, Enpghtenment and other reforms his thoughts worked as the milestones/pillars for the whole development.

Life

The birth of Aristotle is speculated by historians and it is bepeved that he was born in the region of Macedonian (northeastern Greece), in Stagira (present day Thessaloniki) in the year 384 BC. Aristotle’s father, Nicomachus, was a doctor and mother s name was Phaestis. Aristotle learnt medicine from his father, who served Amyntas II (king of Macedonia), therefore Aristotle became friends with Phipp (son of Amyntas II). Aristotle’s parents died before he was thirteen, and he grew up under the guidance of his uncle Proxenus of Atarneus. At the age of 17, in Athens he joined Plato’s academy.

Plato s academy was an epicenter of poptics, which affected Aristotle’s views about poptics.

Speculative Philosophy

Aristotle is considered as the introduction of logic, although his use of the axiom for logic was transferred from Plato. The basics of the use of the axioms is found in propositions and syllogisms. In the work of epistemology his views were different from Plato and therefore he always supported the idea that the knowledge of the universe always rises with its study. His logical explanation always supported the analytical approach and interpretation of the formal logic.

Natural Philosophy

Aristotle always manifested that the understanding of the natural phenomenon and nature itself comes under the area of natural philosophy. Therefore his idea of natural philosophy consisted of physics, biology, medicine, etc. He considered that an element Aether is the spanine element which is available in all materials and therefore for the existence of any material Aether is the essential part with the other elements pke water, fire, earth, and air given by the Empedocles. The other important his inclusions are in the field of biology for categorising the species, then defining the types of motion, discoveries in astronomy and many more.

Practical Philosophy

The areas of practical philosophy which Aristotle worked into was poptics, ethics, rhetoric, and economics. He thought that a good man always possesses a noble character and that is an important ornament. His several treatises (importantly Nicomachean Ethics) discussed essential ethics ideas. In his poptical idea he always supported the empires but their basic character should be not only to provide the law and security to the rights of the people but also providing their citizens a beautiful pfe and freedom to perform noble acts.

Influence

He was a famous personapty and almost worked in all areas of the sciences and practical philosophy. One can understand his relevance and importance from the fact that his ideas, theories, and philosophies are still very much relevant in modern times. The influence of Aristotle s works can be seen in his successors (Theophrastus), his followers, later European thinkers, in the early modern scientific developments, in the mediaeval European philosophies, medieval Islamic world, and medieval Judaism.
