PHILOSOPHY – Aristotle


Aristotle
Where his father was the royal doctor. He grew up to be the most influential saying
The philosopher is ever, with modest aliases like “master” and simply “philosopher”.
The first great work was the private tutoring of Alexander the Great who, shortly after, came out and conquered
World known
Then Aristotle headed off to Athens, worked with Plato a little, then branched on
King of him. He founded a small school called a concert hall. French secondary schools – ‘L.
In honor of this project – secondary schools. He loved to walk while teaching and
Discussion of ideas.
His followers were nicknamed Peripatetics’ – ‘Wanderers’.
His many books are actually taking notes
Aristotle fascinated by how many things
Actually Work: How to grow a chick in an egg? How does squid reproduce?
Why plant does not grow well in one place
And hardly ever in another? And – more importantly – what makes human life, and
A whole society, going well? For Aristotle, philosophy was about the process
wisdom. Here are four great philosophical questions
He replied. One: What makes people happy?
In Ethics ‘Nicomachean’ (the book I got the name was edited by him
Son, the appointment of Nicomachas Garacini) Aristotle himself identified the task factors that lead
People get a good life – or not.
He pointed out that good people and success each possess “virtues” distinct – and proposed
We must get better at determining what these are, so we can take care of them
Ourselves and their honor in others. Aristotle focused on 11 virtues
Courage and moderation
Tolerance splendor
Pride of Pride
Patience honesty
Circumference of affection
humility
Aristotle also noted that each virtue appears to be bursting into the middle of two vices.
It occupies what he called “moderation” [a perfectly balanced item on a triangle] between
The extremes of character. For example, in the fourth book of his ethics, under
Witch title “Conversation virtues: Intelligence, stupid and rude, Aristotle
Look at ways people are better or worse in conversation. (Know how to be good
Conversation is one of the components of good life, recognized by Aristotle).
Some people get worse because they lack a subtle sense of humor: this is a “rude”
Person “is useless for any kind of social contact, because it contributes something
It takes a crime in everything. “
But others have a sense of humor to add: “The clown can not resist a joke, and has not been excluded
Himself, nor anyone else provided that he could lift up a laugh and say things that
That man of taste never dreamed of saying ‘.
So the virtuous person “is in the middle of this field: witty, but the same.
A very fascinating moment is when Aristotle directed a “very little”
‘Lot’ and ‘just right’ around a whole set of virtues.
We can not change our behavior in any of these areas just in a drop of a hat. But
Change is possible, in the end. “Moral goodness says Aristotle” is the result of this habit.
Take times, practice and encouragement. Therefore, Aristotle believes, people who lack virtue should
To be understood as unfortunate rather than bad. What you need is not reprimand or thrown
In prison but the best teachers, further guidance.
Second: What is art for?
The popular art of the time was the tragedy. Athenians saw bloody plays in society
Festivals in huge outdoor theaters. Ischilos, Eurpides and Sophocles were family names.
Aristotle wrote “How to write great plays” Guide: Poetic. It’s packed with great
Tips. For example, be sure to use:
peripeteia – change in wealth, when a hero goes things great that is awful [in
A giant, Leonardo DiCaprio gets Kate Winslow (big) and then hit the iceberg (awful)
And anagnoresis – an exciting revelation moment
When suddenly the hero works out their lives a disaster
But what is really a tragedy about him? What is the
Point the entire community together to see the terrible things happen to
The main characters? Like Oedipus (in the play by Sophocles) who by chance, kills his father,
He married his mother, discovered he had done these things [on screen: anagnoresis]
And digging out of his eyes in remorse and despair.
The answer to Aristotle is Katharis – which is Greek to … catharsis.
Venting is a kind of cleaning – you get
Get rid of bad stuff. In this case clean our emotions, specifically our ambiguities
About feelings of fear and pity. We have natural problems here: we are
Heart Steel: We do not give pity where it’s worth it. We tend to either overpriced
Fears or not get scared enough
Tragedy reminds us that: terrible things can infect decent people including
Ourselves): a small drawback can lead to a complete collapse life
So we must have more compassion (or compassion) to
Those whose actions worsen disastrously. We need to be collectively critical of these re-taught
Facts on a regular basis. The task of art – as Aristotle saw it – is to make deep
Facts about the stick of life in our minds. Third: What are friends to?
In the eight books and nine of Nicomachean ethics Aristotle sets three different
Types of friendship. There is a friendship that arises when
Every person seeks pleasure; “Their interest is in their own pleasure and
Chance for a moment “that allows the other person
Nice time around. We need a pleasant companions.
[On the screen, beer drinking festival] Then there are friendships that are in fact
His strategic acquaintances: “They take pleasure in the company of each other just so
They have hopes of benefiting from it. “
[On Screen: Fake Business Meeting] Then there’s a real friend: no one
Who is like you? But a person who is not yours – but who cares about you as much as you
It is about yourself. The sorrows of a true friend and your sorrows
For, their joys are for you. This makes you more vulnerable – anything that hits this person.
But it is greatly enhanced: you are relieved of the very small orbit of your thoughts
Fears, which expand into another life, together become bigger, smarter, and more
Flexible, more reflective show. You share the virtues and eliminate the disadvantages of each. friendship
Teaches us what it should be. Is – in every sense of the word – the best part of life.
Fourth: How can thoughts cut through the busy world?
Like so many people, Aristotle struck from the fact that the best argument is not
Always win the debate or battle.
He wanted to know why
It happens and what can be done about it.
He had a lot of opportunities for observations: in Athens and made a lot of decisions in public places
Meetings (often in Agora – town square); that the speakers compete with each other for influence
general opinion.
Aristotle conspiracy roads are affected by the masses and individuals through many factors that do not
Engage strictly with the logic or facts of the case.
It’s a fool. Many dangerous people [especially Plato] can not stand it. they
Avoid market and populist debate.
Aristotle was more ambitious. Invented art is still rhetoric Call today:
The art of getting people to agree with you. He wanted thoughtful, serious and good faith
People to see how to be convincing – to reach those who do not already agree.
He makes some timeless points: you have to admit and click and calm people
Fears. You have to see the emotional side of the issue – it is someone’s pride on
Line, are you feeling embarrassed – the edge of the round accordingly.
You have to make them funny – to stretch out of short attention.
You may have to use illustrations and examples to present your point of view come alive.
We are keen students of Aristotle. Today philosophy “does not seem
Practical activity. Perhaps for this we have not paid enough attention, recently, to
Aristotle
