Aristotle's take on the world

Aristotle’s take on the world

Aristotle was in interesting philosopher to me because he was definitely ahead of his time in his thought process. Reading his life story and his works I definitely had a rude awakening, because I never knew that type of thinking was going on in those time, due to the lack of technology because some of the thinking he had would not even be possible to accomplish today without the aid of a computer or any technological help. If I were to give my opinion about who was the greatest philosopher of the early times it would definitely have to be Aristotle. His take on such things as ethics which all psychiatrists still uses today, this is that ethics is divided in two parts which is the Rational which is your intellect and moral virtue, and Irrational which is the nutritional virtue, politics, art and poetics, soul and psychology, nature, metaphysics, and logic.
According to Aristotle logic is the ability to reason orally and this concept consist of ten different categories; substance, quantity, quality, relation, place, time, situation, condition, action, and passion. Think about it when you are asking a question what is the first thing you ask? You ask what happened. How did it happen? Who was involved? How many? These are the main ten principles of trying to gain knowledge and sharpening your reasoning skills. Normally an individual would ask these same things in not exactly the same order as he named but they would be the same questions that would normally be asked from a student to a teacher or parent.
Aristotle started his work on metaphysics after being curious about existence, through his curiosity and asking the church and he realized that the church would only give him a broad understanding of human existence; he took it upon himself to gain the knowledge himself. Through his readings he saw many speculations from the mathematical theory of Pythagoras and nature theories of Thales and Anaximines, neither one of these theories satisfied his curiosity, this is a theory that cannot be explained.
