亚里士多德
元前 384 年,亚里士多德生于富拉基亚的斯塔基尔希腊移民区。他的父亲是马其顿国王腓力二世的宫廷侍医 ,所以他的家庭应该属于奴隶主阶级中的中产阶层。亚里士多德于公元前367 年迁居到雅典,曾经学过医学,还在雅典柏拉图学院学习过很多年,是柏拉图学院的积极参加者。
从十八岁到三十八岁在亚里士多德雅典跟柏拉图学习哲学。这二十年对亚里士多德来说是个很重要的阶段,这一时期的学习和生活对他一生产生了决定性的影响。苏格拉底是柏拉图的
老师,亚里士多德又受教于柏拉图,这三代师徒都是哲学史上赫赫有名的人物。
在雅典的柏拉图学园中,亚里士多德表现的很出色,柏拉图称他是学园之灵。但亚里士多德不是一个只崇拜权威,在学术上唯唯诺诺而没有自己的想法的人。他同大谈玄理的老师不
同,他努力的收集各种图书资料,勤奋钻研,甚至为自己建立了一个图书室。在学院期间,亚里士多德就在思想上跟老师有了分歧。他曾经隐喻的说过,智慧不会随柏拉图一起死亡。
当柏拉图到了晚年,他们师生间的分歧更大了,经常发生争吵。公元前 347 年,柏拉图去世后,亚里士多德在雅典又继续呆了两年,此后他开始游历各地。公元前 343 年,他受马其顿
国王腓力二世的聘请,担任起太子亚历山大的老师。当时,亚历山大十三岁,亚里士多德四十二岁。
亚里士多德是世界古代史上最伟大的哲学家、科学家和教育家。他创立了形式逻辑学,丰富和发展了哲学的各个分支学科,对科学做出了巨大的贡献。
Aristotle
Aristotle , Greek philosopher and scientist, who shares with Plato and Socrates the distinction of being the most famous of ancient philosophers. He 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 Platos Academy. He remained there for about 20 years, as a student and then as a teacher.
When Plato died in 347 bc, Aristotle moved to Assos, a city in Asia Minor, where a friend of his,Hermias, was ruler. There he counseled Hermias and married his niece and adopted daughter,Pythias. After Hermias was captured and executed by the Persians in 345 bc, Aristotle went to Pella, the Macedonian capital, where he became the tutor of the kings young son Alexander, later known as Alexander the Great. In 335, when Alexander became king, Aristotle returned to Athens and established his own school, the Lyceum. Because much of the discussion in his school took place while teachers and students were walking about the Lyceum grounds, Aristotles school came to be known as the Peripatetic school. Upon the death of Alexander in 323 bc, strong anti-Macedonian feeling developed in Athens, and Aristotle retired to
a family estate in Euboea . He died there the following year.
Perhaps because of the influence of his fathers medical profession, Aristotles philosophy laid its principal stress on biology, in contrast to Platos emphasis on mathematics. Aristotle regarded theworld as made up of individuals occurring in fixed natural kinds . Each individual has its built-in specific pattern of development and grows toward proper self-realization as a specimen of its type. Growth, purpose, and direction are thus built into nature. Although science studies general kinds, according to Aristotle, these kinds find their existence in particular individuals. Science and philosophy must therefore balance, not simply choose between, the claims of empiricism and formalism .
One of the most distinctive of Aristotles 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.
