CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Argyropulos, John
Humanist, and translator of aristotle, born at Constantinople, 1416; died at Rome about 1486.
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01707a.htm

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > John Argyropulos A B C D ... Z Humanist, and translator of Aristotle , born at Constantinople, 1416; died at Rome about 1486. It is certain that he was a teacher at Padua in 1434, although it is not clear why he returned to Constantinople in 1441. After the conquest of his native city by the Turks (1453) he joined the band of scholars who took refuge in Italy. In 1456 he was summoned to Florence by Cosimo de' Medici for the purpose of teaching ( Aristotelian ) philosophy and instructing the youthful Pietro and Lorenzo. In 1471 a plague broke out in Florence: this was the occasion of his leaving Florence for Rome, where he was kindly received by Pope Sixtus IV . There he continued his career as teacher, having among his pupils many cardinals and bishops and some distinguished foreigners, such as Reuchlin. He died at Rome; the year of his death is uncertain, but 1486 is the most probable date. He was one of those who contributed most to the revival of Greek learning in Italy. After Manuel Chrysoloras, he and George of Trebizond and George Gemistius had the largest share in making known to Western Europe the treasures of ancient Greek literature. Like all other humanists, he was somewhat intemperate in his zeal for his chosen subject. In his desire to extol the excellence of Greek literature, he expressed his contempt for the literature of ancient Rome; he was especially severe in his criticism of Cicero. His most serviceable works are his translations of many of

Extractions: Aristotle's Poetics : Introduction Malcolm Heath Aristotle Poetics : a bibliography Index Introduction This bibliography does not pretend to provide a comprehensive record of everything that has been written on the Poetics (still less of everything relevant to the Poetics ). So serious researchers will need to consult the wonderfully thorough and informative bibliography by O.J. Schrier (1998), which covers publications up to 1996. However, there is quite a lot here for the interested reader to make a start with (I confess, with shame, that I have not yet read everything listed here myself). The bibliography is divided into two parts. The first part includes publications up to 1996, and is therefore mainly a (very limited) subset of items included by Schrier. The second part includes publications from 1996 onwards (so that there is a 1-year overlap between the two parts), together with some earlier items not listed by Schrier (these are mostly due to my less systematic criteria for inclusion, rather than any oversight on Schrier's part). Hence the second provides a supplement to Schrier - although it will not be equally thorough in its coverage. Users should treat with some caution the way items have been distributed under different headings and sub-headings. The classification has developed in an unplanned way as the bibliography has grown over a number of years; there are doubtless many anomalies. One day I will work out a more satisfactory way of doing it; until then, it seems better to keep an

http://www.phys.virginia.edu/classes/109N/lectures/aristot2.html

Extractions: Link to Previous Lecture Let us first recap briefly the emergence of philosophy and science in Athens after around 450 B.C. It all began with Socrates , who was born in 470 B.C. Socrates was a true philosopher, a lover of wisdom, who tried to elicit the truth by what has become known as the Socratic method, in which by a series of probing questions he forced successive further clarification of thought. Of course, such clarity often reveals that the other person's ideas don't in fact make much sense, so that although Socrates made a lot of things much clearer, he wasn't a favorite of many establishment politicians. For example, he could argue very convincingly that traditional morality had no logical basis. He mostly lectured to the sons of well-to-do aristocrats, one of whom was Plato , born in 428 B.C. Plato was a young man when Athens was humiliated by Sparta in the Peloponnesian War, and Plato probably attributed the loss to Athens being a democracy, as opposed to the kind of fascist war-based state Sparta was. Plato founded an Academy. The name came (at least in legend) from one Academus , a landowner on whose estate Plato and other philosophers met regularly. The important point is that this was the first university. All the people involved were probably aristocrats, and they discussed everything, politics, economics, morality, philosophy, mathematics and science. One of their main concerns was to find what constituted an ideal city-state. Democracy didn't seem to have worked very well in their recent past. Plato's ideas are set out in the
JOHN PHILOPONUS
Article by Dan Graves, employing Philoponus as an example of the power of the creationist view.
http://www.rae.org/philop.html

Extractions: Essays by Date Article adapted from the Dan Graves' book, Scientists of Faith The first to present his case seems right until another comes forward and questions him. Proverbs 18:17. The power of the creationist view can be better seen at the very outset of Western science in the person of John Philoponus. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist whose views still reverberate today, did more than perhaps any other thinker to shape pre-Christian science. But his theories, while innovative for his day, often combined brilliant insights with a good deal of nonsense-nonsense that opposed several fundamental tenets of first Judaism and then Christianity. Significantly, Aristotle's most serious critic in the first seven hundred years was John Philoponus, an Alexandrian Christian. In response to Aristotalian error, Philoponus forged a sustained attack against Aristotle's chief proponent during the seventh century A.D., a Greek philosopher named Simplicius. Fortunately for modern science, Simplicius often responded to those attacks with long quotations from Philoponus, inadvertantly preserving his opponent's work for posterity. Philoponus's application of Christian theology to physics prefigured a new era in science. The Alexandrian scholar was the first to combine scientific cosmology (the study of the nature of the universe) with monotheism and the Christian doctrine of creation. In doing so, Philoponus anticipated not only the findings but also the methods of modern science. He controlled his observations in the manner of genuine research, although it is not certain he ever progressed beyond thought experiments-that is, experiments carefully thought out, but not actually performed.

Extractions: Aristotle was born in Macedonia, a mountainous land north of the Greek peninsula. At that time, many Greeks believed Macedonia was a backward place with no culture. Aristotle moved to Athens and studied at Plato's Academy. He remained at the school for more than twenty years until shortly after Plato died. Aristotle then returned to Macedonia, where King Philip hired him to prepare his thirteen-year-old son, Alexander, for his future role as a military leader. His student would one day be known as known as Alexander the Great, one of the greatest military conquerors of all time. Once Alexander became King of Macedonia, Aristotle returned to Athens and opened a school he called the Lyceum. For the next twelve years, Aristotle organized his school as a center of research on astronomy, zoology, geography, geology, physics, anatomy, and many other fields.

Extractions: AND THE WORLD OF ARISTOTLE BOOK II. CHAPTER 25. Afterwards he [Aristotle] sets forth another opinion. Text: And some say the earth is at the center of the universe and revolves and moves circularly around the pole established for this, as written in Plato's Timaeus. Gloss: This was the opinion of one called Heraclides of Pontus who proposed that the earth is moved circularly and that the heavens are at rest. Aristotle does not here refute these opinions; it perhaps seemed to him that they have little [root in] appearance and are well refuted elsewhere in philosophy and astronomy. But it seems to me, subject to correction, that one could well support and give luster to the last opinion, namely that the earth, and not the heavens, is moved with a daily movement. Firstly, I wish to state that one could not demonstrate the contrary by any experience (expenence) Secondly, [I will show that the contrary cannot be demonstrated] by reasoning. And thirdly, I will put forth reasons in support of it (that is, the diurnal rotation of the earth).

Extractions: ARISTOTLE (384-322 BC), Greek philosopher and scientist, who shares with Plato 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. One of the most distinctive of Aristotle's philosophic contributions was a new notion of causality. Each thing or event, he thought, has more than one "reason" that helps to explain what, why, and where it is. Earlier Greek thinkers had tended to assume that only one sort of cause can be really explanatory; Aristotle proposed four. (The word Aristotle uses, aition, "a responsible, explanatory factor" is not synonymous with the word cause in its modern sense.) Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is an analysis of character and intelligence as they relate to happiness. Aristotle distinguished two kinds of "virtue," or human excellence: moral and intellectual. Moral virtue is an expression of character, formed by habits reflecting repeated choices. A moral virtue is always a mean between two less desirable extremes. Courage, for example, is a mean between cowardice and thoughtless rashness; generosity, between extravagance and parsimony. Intellectual virtues are not subject to this doctrine of the mean. Aristotle argued for an elitist ethics: Full excellence can be realized only by the mature male adult of the upper class, not by women, or children, or barbarians (non-Greeks), or salaried "mechanics" (manual workers) from whom, indeed, Aristotle proposed to take away voting rights.

Ethics Of Isocrates, Aristotle, And Diogenes By Sanderson Beck
An article about his life and context by Sanderson Beck.
http://www.san.beck.org/EC22-Aristotle.html#7

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;

http://faculty.washington.edu/smcohen/433/arintro.htm

Extractions: Philosophy of Aristotle Introduction to Aristotle The events of the next five years are uncertain. Perhaps Aristotle stayed at the court; perhaps he went back to Stagira. But in 335, after the death of Philip, he returned to Athens for his second long sojourn. Just outside the city he rented some buildings and established his own school, the Lyceum, where he lectured, wrote, and discussed philosophy with his pupils and associates. Under his direction, they carried out research on biological and other philosophical and scientific topics. Theophrastus worked on botany, Aristoxenus on music; Eudemus wrote a history of mathematics and astronomy, Meno of medicine, and Theophrastus of physics, cosmology, and psychology. In addition, Aristotle and his group produced a monumental account of the constitutions of 158 Greek city-states - an account Aristotle draws on in his own Politics Aristotle was above all driven by a desire for knowledge and understanding in every possible realm. His works are teeming with detailed observations about the natural world as well as abstract speculations of the most general sort. As both a scientist and a philosopher, Aristotle could easily make the transition from describing the feeding behavior of eels and limpets to theorizing about the divine intellect that is the uncaused cause of everything else in the universe. But his philosophical and scientific interests are rooted in the natural world - about one quarter of the surviving works deal with topics in biology. This he combined with an unshakeable confidence in the ability of the human mind, aided by the system of deductive logic he invented and by close and detailed observation of natural phenomena, to comprehend the fundamental nature of objective reality.
