Here is a hyperlink to the Microsoft Encarta home page.   http://www.encarta.msn.com Aristotle (384-322 BC), Greek philosopher and scientist, who shares with Plato and Socrates the distinction of being the most famous of ancient philosophers. Aristotle was born at Stagira, in Macedonia, the son of a physician to the royal court. At the age of 17, he went to Athens to study at Plato's Academy. He remained there for about 20 years, as a student and then as a teacher. Works Aristotle, like Plato, made regular use of the dialogue in his earliest years at the Academy, but lacking Plato's imaginative gifts, he probably never found the form congenial. Apart from a few fragments in the works of later writers, his dialogues have been wholly lost. Aristotle also wrote some short technical notes, such as a dictionary of philosophic terms and a summary of the doctrines of Pythagoras. Of these, only a few brief excerpts have survived. Still extant, however, are Aristotle's lecture notes for carefully outlined courses treating almost every branch of knowledge and art. The texts on which Aristotle's reputation rests are largely based on these lecture notes, which were collected and arranged by later editors.

82. V. Markin. Aristotle's Singular Negative Syllogistic And Free Logic
    Article by V.I. Markin, Moscow State University.  
    http://www.logic.ru/Engl/depart/Markin1.htm
    
    Extractions: (In: Logical Investigations. Vol. 4. Moscow: Nauka, 1997, in Russian) Abstract Assertoric Aristotle's syllogistic formulated in the opening chapters of Prior Analytics deals with categorical propositions containing only general positive (primitive) terms. However, some fragments of his tractates contain many examples of reasoning including propositions with singular and negative terms, he pointed out certain types of valid and invalid inferences of this kind, formulated truth definitions for such propositions. The purpose of the paper is to reconstruct Aristotelian type singular negative syllogistic by means of modern logic. I introduce the formal language of syllogistic with singular and negative terms that reflects the peculiarity of their usage by Aristotle. According to him, a singular term occurs only as a subject but never as a predicate, singular propositions are considered as a special kind of propositions which couldn't be reduced to universal or particular ones, negative terms can be constructed only from general terms. The alphabet contains a list of primitive general terms, a list of singular terms, term negation operator (it forms general negative term S from a general term S ), usual syllogistic constants

83. Aristotle (384-322 BC).
    A Blupete Biography Page Back To A List Of Philosophers aristotle (BC, 384322) Ethically, aristotle figured that happiness is the goal of life.  
    http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Philosophy/Aristotle.htm
    
    Extractions: (BC, 384-322) Locke concluded that Aristotelianism was "perplexed with obscure terms and useless questions"; to the Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget (1896-1980), Aristotle had "a naive and childlike animistic view of the world." In more recent times an evolutionary approach to the understanding of our world has progressively displaced the stationary Aristotelian view. "As a young man, we are told, he [Aristotle] squandered his patrimony in riotous living; he joined the army, and was thrown out of it; for a while he sold drugs and nostrums to make a living. Finally, at the age of thirty, he ended up in college in Plato's Academy At Alexander's death, 323 BC, Aristotle found himself connected to the wrong crowd; he fled Athens, and just in time for charges of "impiety" were brought against him; the same charges, which, 76 years earlier, had led to the death of Socrates. He did not live long in exile: he died within the year. Ethically, Aristotle figured that "happiness is the goal of life. Pleasure, fame, and wealth, however, will not bring one the highest happiness"; it is achieved by a contemplative and monastic way of life. ( Benet's Aristotle had an extraordinary impact on both the people of his day and those who followed him down through the centuries; it is to be attributed to his logistical way of thinking, his rigorous scientific procedure. His premises, however, were not correct. If you are a believer in the proposition that all men are created equal, then Aristotle is not your man. Aristotle considered slavery to be entirely natural, simply because "some men are adapted by nature to be the physical instruments of others." Further, and more generally, Aristotle had "an intense conviction of the natural inferiority of the 'barbarian.'"

    http://www.findlink.dk/aristotle/aristotle.htm
    
    Extractions: "Being is said in many ways" is a standard formulation of Aristotle. It sounds rather superfluous and straightforward to state this, but this is actually due to Aristotle and this fact makes Aristotle very interesting to study. You and I have height, colour, a certain number of arms, legs, fingers, ears etc.. We have different ways of behavior, taste, interests and so on. We are said to be different and equal in various aspects. From Plato we learn that a man is good, due to his participation in The Good (in greek, to anypothon ). Aristotle rejected the theory of forms (eidos) as known from Plato. In Aristotle's ontology there is only concrete substances (this horse, that cup, this vase etc.) and in talking of the particular substances we use concepts, but the things - substances - is prior to the concepts or forms which we ascribe to them. Plato worked the other way around. For Plato the forms (eidos) were prior and necessary conditions which formed a intelligible realm in contrast the phenomenal realm. The more exact theory of Plato is highly ingenious and much of Aristotle's critique were probably addressed to other students of Plato (for a further discussion, Jonathan Barnes "Metaphysics" in Cambridge Companion to Aristotle ). In his formulation of his own theory Aristotle developed his own terminology, invented grammatical forms and a system of classification (primary substance, secondary substance; the categories). In addition Aristotle invented and created the classical logic as we know it today. The logical, semantical and metaphysical aspects is closely connected in Aristotle's way of expressing being.

    http://turnbull.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Aristotle.html
    
    Extractions: Aristotle was not primarily a mathematician but made important contributions by systematising deductive logic. He wrote on physical subjects: some parts of his Analytica posteriora show an unusual grasp of the mathematical method. Primarily, however, he is important in the development of all knowledge for, as the authors of [2] write:- Aristotle, more than any other thinker, determined the orientation and the content of Western intellectual history. He was the author of a philosophical and scientific system that through the centuries became the support and vehicle for both medieval Christian and Islamic scholastic thought: until the end of the 17 th century, Western culture was Aristotelian. And, even after the intellectual revolutions of centuries to follow, Aristotelian concepts and ideas remained embedded in Western thinking. Aristotle was born in Stagirus, or Stagira, or Stageirus, on the Chalcidic peninsula of northern Greece. His father was Nicomachus, a medical doctor, while his mother was named Phaestis. Nicomachus was certainly living in Chalcidice when Aristotle was born and he had probably been born in that region. Aristotle's mother, Phaestis, came from Chalcis in Euboea and her family owned property there.

90. Aristotle's Psychology
    Recounts the principal and distinctive claims of aristotle's psychological writings, especially De Anima. By Christopher Shields of the University of Colorado.  
    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-psychology/
    
    Extractions: APR Aristotle (384-322 BC) was born in Macedon, in what is now northern Greece, but spent most of his adult life in Athens. His life in Athens divides into two periods, first as a member of Plato's Academy (367-347) and later as director of his own school, the Lyceum (334-323). The intervening years were spent mainly in Assos and Lesbos, and briefly back in Macedon. His years away from Athens were predominantly taken up with biological research and writing. Judged on the basis of their content, Aristotle's most important psychological writings probably belong to his second residence in Athens, and so to his most mature period. His principal work in psychology, De Anima , reflects in different ways his pervasive interest in biological taxonomy and his most sophisticated physical and metaphysical theory. Because of the long tradition of exposition which has developed around Aristotle's De Anima , the interpretation of even its most central theses is sometimes disputed. Moreover, because of its evident affinities with some prominent approaches in contemporary philosophy of mind, Aristotle's psychology has received renewed interest and has incited intense interpretative dispute in recent decades. Consequently, this entry proceeds on two levels. The main article recounts the principal and distinctive claims of Aristotle's psychology, avoiding so far as possible exegetical controversy and critical commentary. At the end of appropriate sections of the main article, readers are invited to explore problematic or advanced features of Aristotle's theories by following the appropriate links.

    Article by George Boger, presented at the 20th World Congress in Philosophy.  
    http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Logi/LogiBoge.htm
    
    Extractions: BOGER@wehle.canisius.edu ABSTRACT: Prior Analytics is a metalogical treatise on the syllogistic deduction system; 3) Aristotle recognized the epistemic efficacy of certain elemental argument patterns, and he explicitly formulated them as rules of natural deduction in corresponding sentences; 4) Prior Analytics is a proof-theoretic treatise in which Aristotle describes a natural deduction system and demonstrates certain of the logical relationships among syllogistic deduction rules (Aristotle modeled his syllogistic logic in a rudimentary way for this purpose and metasystematically established the independence of a set of deduction rules); and finally, 5) Aristotle worked with a notion of substitution sufficient for distinguishing logical syntax and semantics. In this connection he also distinguished validity from deducibility sufficiently well to note the completeness of his logic Introduction Prior Analytics : (1) logic is taken as part of epistemology; (2) syllogistic deduction is treated metalogically; (3) rules of natural deduction are explicitly formulated; (4) the syllogistic system is modeled to demonstrate logical relationships among its rules; and (5) logical syntax is distinguished from semantics. While each of these features is perhaps familiar to us, when they are viewed together they reveal the striking philosophical modernity of an ancient logician.

    Extractions: Aristotle's Virtue Ethics Dr. Charles Ess - Philosophy and Religion Department - Drury University An Aristotelian vocabulary: "virtue" ( arete excellence in fulfillment of a particular function "happiness" (eudaimonia ) = a sense of well-being, resulting from achieving excellence in the fulfillment of one's functions, including the "species-specific" functions of reason (both theoretical and practical) Epistemological comment: Aristotle observes that each "science" ("knowledge," episteme ) such as mathematics, ethics, politics, psychology, biology, physics, etc. admits of a given degree of certainty and demonstration. ("Knowledge comes in different flavors.") It is the mark of an educated human being - i.e., one who has explored the different sciences with some care - to know what degree of certainty and demonstration is appropriate to each one. In particular, the educated human being will know that the same degree of certainty and demonstration is not possible in ethics that is possible in mathematics. There are important reasons for this claim - reasons surrounding the following passage. In speaking of the mean (between excess and defect) towards which our actions should aim, Aristotle notes:

100. Aristotle's Rhetoric
     Discussion of one of aristotle's major works; by Christof Rapp.  
     http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-rhetoric/
     
     Extractions: MAY Aristotle's rhetoric has had an enormous influence on the development of the art of rhetoric. Not only authors writing in the peripatetic tradition, but also the famous Roman teachers of rhetoric, such as Cicero and Quintilian, frequently used elements stemming from the Aristotelian doctrine. Nevertheless, these authors were neither interested in an authentic interpretation of the Aristotelian works nor in the philosophical sources and backgrounds of the vocabulary that Aristotle had introduced into rhetorical theory. Thus, for two millennia the interpretation of Aristotelian rhetoric has become a matter of the history of rhetoric, not of philosophy. In the most influential manuscripts and editions, Aristotle's Rhetoric was surrounded by rhetorical works and even written speeches of other Greek and Latin authors, and was seldom interpreted in the context of the whole Corpus Aristotelicum. It was not until the last few decades that the philosophically salient features of the Aristotelian rhetoric were rediscovered: in construing a general theory of the persuasive, Aristotle applies numerous concepts and arguments which are also treated in his logical, ethical, and psychological writings. His theory of rhetorical arguments, for example, is only one further application of his general doctrine of the
