Aristotle's Virtue Ethics
Notes by Charles Ess.
http://www.drury.edu/faculty/ess/Reason/Aristotle.html

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:

Category [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
Used to describe fundamental divisions, was coined by aristotle then explored by Kant, Hegel, Pierce, Whitehead, and Ryle.
http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/c/category.htm

Extractions: The term "category" comes from the Greek word kategoria , which is derived from kata ("against") and agoreuein ("to assert"). In Philosophy, the term means ultimate or fundamental divisions or kinds. Several schemes of categories have been offered in the history of philosophy. These schemes are sometimes descriptions of different kinds of things. At other times, they are different ways of thinking or talking about things in the world. To say that two things belong to completely different categories is to say that they have literally nothing in common, and we cannot apply the same descriptions to both unless we speak metaphorically. Aristotle was the first to use the term category in philosophy. He adapted "categoria" from the legal language, which meant "accusation," and used it to mean that which is asserted about something. Aristotle distinguished between several types of categories including kind, quality, quantity or size, relation, location, time or date, action, and undergoing. For Kant, a category is any of the twelve forms or relating principles of the understanding, constituting necessary conditions of experience. Kant sought to derive an exhaustive list of pure forms of the understanding from the forms of judgment in the traditional logic: quantity, quality, relation, and modality. His list comprises three of each. Hegel meant by categories the ideas which explain reality. He used a triad principle and generated around 272 categories. But Hegel also stated that categories were many and their exact number cannot be determined until the system of reality is completely explained. He thus marks a shift in the meaning of "category" as simply any basic notion, concept, or principle in a system of philosophy. Pierce held that categories are the most general terms into which experience can be divided. They reflect three types of predicates or relations, and his three main categories are "firstness," "secondness," and "thirdness." These terms stand for "monadic," "dyadic," and "polyadic" respectively.

http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_aristotle.html

Extractions: Aristotle was born in 384 BC, in Stagira, near Macedonia at the northern end of the Aegean Sea. His father, Nicomachus, was the family physician of King Amyntas of Macedonia. It is believed that Aristotle's ancestors had been the physicians of the Macedonian royal family for several generations. Having come from a long line of physicians, Aristotle received training and education that inclined his mind toward the study of natural phenomena. This education had long-lasting influences, and was probably the root cause of his less idealistic stand on philosophy as opposed to Plato. Aristotle's father died when he was a boy, and Aristotle was left under the care of his guardian Proxenus. When Aristotle was seventeen, Proxenus sent him to study at Plato's Academy in Athens, the heart of the intellectual world at the time. Aristotle remained at the Academy for twenty years, until Plato's death in 347 BC. Although Aristotle was Plato's most promising student, Aristotle did not succeed Plato as head of the Academy because of their opposing views on several fundamental philosophical issues, specifically regarding Plato's theory of ideas. As has already been noted, Aristotle was more concerned than Plato with the actual material world, and did not believe that the only thing that mattered is the realm of ideas and perfect forms.

Aristotle's Astronomy
The Perseus Digital Library is Being Updated. Notice. The main Perseusweb site (at Tufts) is unavailable from 500 to 600, US Eastern
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/GreekScience/Students/Tom/AristotleAstro.html

Extractions: Aristotle's Astronomy by Thomas Fowler Look at the comments on this paper. To the modern reader, Aristotle 's views on astronomy, as presented in Metaphysics Physics De Caelo On the Heavens ) and Simplicius' Commentary , will most likely seem very bizarre, as they are based more on a priori philosophical speculation than empirical observation. Although Aristotle acknowledged the importance of "scientific" astronomy - the study of the positions, distances and motions of the stars - he nevertheless treated astronomy in the abstract, linking it to his overall philosophical world picture. As a result, the modern distinction between physics and metaphysics is not present in Aristotle, and in order to fully appreciate him we must try to abandon this pre-conception. De Caelo Book II , chapter 14) That the celestial bodies must also be spherical in shape, can be determined by observation. In the case of the stars, Aristotle argued that they would have to be spherical, as this shape, which is the most perfect, allows them to retain their positions.

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

Extractions: He who examines the most general features of existence, must investigate also the principles of reasoning. For he who gets the best grasp of his respective subject will be most able to discuss its basic principles. So that he who gets the best grasp of existing things qua existing must be able to discuss the basic principles of all existence; and he is the philosopher. And the most certain principle of all is that about which it is impossible to be mistaken... It is clear, then, that such a principle is the most certain of all and we can state it thus: "It is impossible for the same thing at the same time to belong and not belong to the same thing at the same time and in the same respect."

Aristotle mistakenly believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe and made up of only four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. He also thought that celestial bodies such as the sun moon , and stars, were perfect and divine, and made of a fifth element called ether.
