Aristotle:The Great Greek

Aristotle is perhaps among the most extravagant Greek celebrities of his time who overwhelmed the world with his writing and thinking. He contributed with his work and converted it to an unmatched exemplary for the rest of the world.
He instigated Greek thoughts to the peak of its systematic development. He propounded ideas in such fields such as Meta Physics (the study of reality).Ethics and aesthetics have been enormously influential on thinkers through out History. His literary criticism coerced the world recognized him as one of the great philosophers of all time.
While at Plato’s Academy his work appear to be in simple literary form mostly in dialogues .These include “On the Soul”, ”On Justice” and “The Symposium”.
At the Lyceum Aristotle‘s work is much more complicated and the existing texts were possibly written by Aristotle as guides of his lectures. Some of them may have been compiled by other scholars by notes transcribed by him. His writings are identified in many cases by Latin titles. Aristotle is reported to have contributed to about 150 Philosophical treatises among which only 30 existed.
Six of Aristotle’s treatises on logic are collected under the title “Organon”. It includes the work extremely devoted to reasoning and definition and their analysis. His other well known works are The Nicomachean, Ethics, Politics, Poetics and Rhetoric. In these works he deals with forms and matter of reality space and general concepts.
Aristotle considered logic as the basic tool of Philosophy and Science. Accordingly to his thoughts, logic helps to deduce a conclusion. He is regarded as the pioneer of the Theory of Syllogism which is a continuity of rules and validation. The substantial reality of an object must exist in the object itself. .He was concerned with the causation of matter. He divided the Philosophy into three categories.
Theoretical Philosophy that deals with the truth for its own sake.
Practical Philosophy dealing with the application of the principle to human life. Knowledge must be acquired from evidence of the senses. He specified observation and description as basic tools to explore the knowledge. He believed the goal of human life is happiness and that can only be acquired by rational thinking.
Poetical Philosophy relating to art and beauty.
He believed all mankind to be equally gifted and his ideal state could be that which is governed by the middle class since it would be free from adverse effects of democracy and oligarchy. He posits the Constitutional democracy as an ideal form of government since it strives at the greatest good for its masses.

In the middle Ages, Aristotle was regarded as “The Philosopher” without peer in both the Islamic world and in Christian Europe. His ideas and thoughts in different field enormously influenced the thinkers throughout the History. Some of his findings are still considered and still stand after along period of time. His Teachings inaugurated a new philosophical system called as Scholasticism which has some traces of Christian doctrine .The Roman Catholic Church officially accepted his philosophy. The new scientists or discoverers had to bear extreme criticism for their discoveries since these were not the part of Aristotle’s findings and coincide with religious doctrines.
