Ethics Of Isocrates, Aristotle, And Diogenes By Sanderson Beck
BECK index. Isocrates, aristotle, and Diogenes. aristotle. In Stagira, a Greek colony near the Macedonian border, in 384 BC was born aristotle.
http://www.san.beck.org/EC22-Aristotle.html

Extractions: Diogenes Mentioned by Plato The writings attributed to Hippocrates apparently were collected at Cos from early scientific observations by Hippocrates and other physicians of his era. The Hippocratic Oath has had a tremendous influence on the ethics of medical practice from that day to this. Although Hippocrates criticized traditional beliefs that the gods cause illnesses, the oath begins by swearing to the gods of health. In the Hippocratic oath physicians promise to benefit patients and abstain from whatever is harmful, to give no deadly medicine nor give a woman a pessary to induce an abortion. In entering homes to benefit the sick they must abstain from any voluntary mischief including seduction. Hippocrates recommended that physicians study nature and the whole subject of medicine that shows what people are in relation to food and drink and other occupations with the effects of each. He noted that large quantities of undiluted wine make one feeble, although he occasionally prescribed some wine. General rules often have exceptions. Cheese, for example, is not equally injurious to everyone. The physician should know the effects of fasting or eating various amounts or drinking soups, and so on. His most famous aphorism is the very first one: Life is short, and art long;

Aristotle's Ethics
Discussion of aristotle's ethical views; by Richard Kraut.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-ethics/

Extractions: MAY 4. Virtues and Deficiencies, Continence and Incontinence 5. The Doctrine of the Mean 6. Intellectual Virtues Akrasia Aristotle wrote two ethical treatises: the Nicomachean Ethics and the Eudemian Ethics . He does not himself use either of these titles, although in the Politics (1295a36) he refers back to one of them probably the Eudemian Ethics as " " his writings about character. The words " Eudemian " and " Nicomachean " were added later, perhaps because the former was edited by his friend, Eudemus, and the latter by his son, Nicomachus. In any case, these two works cover more or less the same ground: they begin with a discussion of

Aristotle's Works
The order established by Andronicus, omitting those treatises now regarded as spurious.
http://faculty.washington.edu/smcohen/ariworks.htm

Extractions: Aristotle's works are often referred to by Latin forms of their titles, and equally often by abbreviations derived from these Latin forms. Since he wrote in Greek, this may seem a silly practice for English-speaking audiences, but we do it anyway (at least Latin titles and abbreviations are the same for English, French, German, Italian, etc., writers). This table may be useful in figuring out references. The order of works in this table descends from Andronicus' edition (1st. C. BCE). Andronicus grouped the works by category and arranged them in an order of study: first logic, then natural science, then ethics and politics. Note that the Metaphysics , as its title suggests, follows next in order after the works on natural science, and just before the works on ethics and politics. This order is reflected in the standard page, column, and line numbers given in modern editions of Aristotle's works: actually, those numbers correspond to the pagination of Immanuel Bekker's edition of 1831. All of this is merely a matter of convenience: the order certainly has nothing to do with chronology (a very difficult subject when it comes to the Aristotelian treatises), nor can it be taken for granted that it reflects Aristotle's own views. Several works generally regarded as spurious are omitted from the table below. Latin Title English titles Common abbreviations Categoriae Categories Cat., Catg.
Aristotle Of Stagira (384-322 BC) -- From Eric Weisstein's World Of Scientific B
aristotle of Stagira (384322 BC), aristotle studied at the Academy, but disagreed with Plato, feeling that one could obtain knowledge about the natural world.
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Aristotle.html

Extractions: Greek philosopher usually upheld as one of the greatest philosophers of all times. Aristotle studied at the Academy, but disagreed with Plato , feeling that one could obtain knowledge about the natural world. He distinguished between two types of philosophers: the physiologoi (natural philosophers) who study nature (e.g. Thales Anaximander , and Anaximenes ) and the theologoi who used gods and myths (e.g. Homer and Hesiod ). Aristotle believed that there exists a "golden mean," or desirable middle ground between any two extremes. He founded his own school in Athens called the Lyceum (or "peripatetic school," since Aristotle used to lecture while walking) which emphasized natural philosophy. Aristotle's lectures were compiled into 150 volumes including Physics, Metaphysics, and De Caelo et Mundo (On the Heavens and Earth). Aristotle philosophized on virtually every other subject. He classified animals in a "Scala Naturae" or "Chain of Being" which consisted of God, man, mammals, oviparous with perfect eggs (e.g., birds), oviparous with non-perfect eggs (e.g., fish), insects, plants, and non-living matter. He considered each link in the chain as a "species." He also made extensive taxonomic studies of more than 500 animal species, dissecting many of them. The observations he published in Generation of Animals and Historia Animalum (Investigation of Animals) were meticulous, and his classification scheme conspicuously modern, departing from the prior Greek practices of using categories such as with feet/footless and winged/wingless. Aristotle achieved such a feat in biology by making use of the same principles of logic (whose systematic study he was the founder of) that he applied in his physical investigations. He did not, however, make a real classification system for plants.

http://www3.baylor.edu/~Scott_Moore/aristotle.html

Extractions: (384-322 BC) Born at Stagira in Macedonia , the son of Nicomachus, Aristotle was together with Plato the most influential philosopher of the western tradition. At age 17 he entered Plato's academy in Athens , and remained there until Plato's death. Aristotle then accepted the invitation of Hermias to reside at Assos. Upon the death of Hermias (whose niece, Pythias, he married) in 345, Aristotle went to Mytilene on the island of Lesbos . Between 343/2 and 340 he acted as the tutor to the young Alexander the Great . In 335 he returned to Athens where he founded a school, the Lyceum. Here he organized and conducted research on many subjects, and built the first great library of antiquity. After the death of Pythias he lived with Herpyllis, by whom he had a son, Nicomachus. On the death of Alexander in 325 anti-Macedonian feeling in Athens caused Aristotle to retire to Chalcis where he died in 322. The works known in his lifetime include dialogs modelled on those of Plato, but these are now lost. It is also known that he accumulated an immense collection of natural and historical observations during his headship if the Lyceum, but these too are mainly lost. The extant corpus is nearly all preserved through the edition of Andronicus of Rhodes, made in the 1st century BC. Important works are:

Z The greatest of heathen Philosophers, born at Stagira, a Grecian colony in the Thracian peninsula Chalcidice, 384 B.C.; died at Chalcis, in Euboea, 322 B.C. His father, Nicomachus, was court physician to King Amyntas of Macedonia. This position, we have reason to believe, was held under various predecessors of Amyntas by Aristotle's ancestors, so that the profession of medicine was in a sense hereditary in the family . Whatever early training Aristotle received was probably influenced by this circumstance; when, therefore at the age of eighteen he went to Athens his mind was already determined in the direction which it afterwards took, the investigation of natural phenomena. From his eighteenth to his thirty-seventh year he remained at Athens as pupil of Plato and was, we are told, distinguished among those who gathered for instruction in the Grove of Academus, adjoining Plato's house. The relations between the renowned teacher and his illustrious pupil have formed the subject of various legends, many of which represent Aristotle in an unfavourable light. No doubt there were divergencies of opinion between the master, who took his stand on sublime, idealistic principles, and the scholar, who, even at that time, showed a preference for the investigation of the facts and laws of the physical world. It is probable that

Extractions: When Aristotle was a young man, about 350 BC , he went to study at Plato's Academy. Plato was already pretty old then. Aristotle did very well at the Academy. But he never got to be among its leaders, and when Plato died, Aristotle was not chosen to lead the Academy after him. Soon afterwards, Aristotle left Athens and went to Macedon to be the tutor of the young prince Alexander, who grew up to be Alexander the Great . As far as we can tell, Alexander was not at all interested in learning anything from Aristotle, but they did become friends.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Actus Et Potentia
A technical expression in scholastic phraseology used to translate aristotle's energeia or entelecheia, and dynamis.
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01124a.htm

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Actus et Potentia A B C D ... Z A technical expression in scholastic phraseology. I. The terms actus and potentia were used by the scholastics to translate Aristotle's energeia or entelecheia , and dynamis . There is no single word in English that would be an exact rendering of either. Act, action, actuality, perfection, determination express the various meanings of actus ; potency, potentiality, power, capacity, those of potentia . In general, potentia means an aptitude to change, to act or to be acted upon, to give or to receive some new determination. Actus means the fulfilment of such a capacity. So, potentia always refers to something future, which at present exists only as a germ to be evolved; actus denotes the corresponding complete reality. In a word, potentia is the determinable being, actus the determined being. The term actus , therefore, has a much greater extension than act or operation. Every operation is an actus , because it is the complement of a power; but all other perfections and determinations, whatever be their nature, are also actus . On the other hand, the being
