Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης, Aristotélēs) (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings cover many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. Aristotle's writings constitute a first at creating a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics. Aristotle's views on the physical sciences profoundly shaped medieval scholarship, and their influence extended well into the Renaissance, although they were ultimately replaced by Newtonian physics. In the biological sciences, some of his observations were confirmed to be accurate only in the nineteenth century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, which was incorporated in the late nineteenth century into modern formal logic. In metaphysics, Aristotelianism had a profound influence on philosophical and theological thinking in the Islamic and Jewish traditions in the Middle Ages, and it continues to influence Christian theology, especially Eastern Orthodox theology, and the scholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. His ethics, though always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of virtue ethics. All aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue to be the object of active academic study today. Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues (Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold"), it is thought that the majority of his writings are now lost and only about one-third of the original works have survived. Despite the far-reaching appeal that Aristotle's works have traditionally enjoyed, today modern scholarship questions a substantial portion of the Aristotelian corpus as authentically Aristotle's own.

Asked by Catch 22 - Wed Jan 16 20:50:52 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Contribution(?) by Aristotle Aristotle came up with a new theory. He didn't believe in atoms. And everyone knew that Aristotle was a very smart guy, so they believed him. Too bad he was wrong. While the idea of the atom was supported by some later Greek philosophers, it was fiercely attacked by others, including Aristotle, who argued against the existence of such particles. Aristotle : Although the idea of the atom, the smallest, indivisible component of matter, was first proposed in 400 BC, Aristotle didn't like it. He claimed that there was no smallest part of matter and that different substances were made up of proportions of fire, air, earth, and water. As there were of course no experimental means available to test either view,… [cont.] Answered by Dr.Shashikant - Wed Jan 16 21:41:25 2008 what were aristotle, ptolomey and plato's contributions to geography?

Well, they didn't really do too much with geography specifically... Aristotle was convinced that the Earth was at the center of the universe, supported a geocentric model. Also believed that the world was made up of the 4 elements. You can say that Aristotle got people to think that the Earth was an unmoving object and that the Earth was round. Not sure how close that is to geography.. He supposedly thought about climates and divided the earth into different zones. (Link provided) Aristotle also believed that the heavens were immutable while the Earth was alterable. Plato was Aristotle's teacher and he advanced "scientific thought" so that people did not just believe in supernatural things without reason. Advocated a round not flat… [cont.] Answered by Vicente - Wed Oct 10 11:01:36 2007 What is the main subject or idea behind Aristotle's Metaphysica?
