  • Aristotle was the original Renaissance Man - long before the Renaissance. He wrote about biology, ethics, logic, physics, rhetoric, politics, and countless other subjects. In sum, Aristotle’s work comprised the first systematic form of Western Philosophy. Aristotle is also considered the first genuine scientist in history.
    As Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Our Great Thinkers playlist celebrates influential thinkers who have changed the world for the better.

    Don't mean to be pedantic, but I'm not sure that Aristotle was big on experimentation necessarily. He favored observation whereas Plato was all about contemplating abstract forms of supposedly perfect objects that existed in some other perfect dimension. Observation is important, but it's not the same as experiment.
    Love your work as always and Liliana is smokin'!

    Aristotle was NOT the "first genuine scientist in history". Except if you do not consider people like Democritus and Pythagoras "genuine" scientists. Because, both Democritus and Pythagoras were born long before Aristotle. Aristotle was born in 384 BC, Democritus in 460 BC and Pythagoras in 570 BC. Before starting making "educational" uploads about things you obviously don't know enough about, try to search thoroughly the basics before making such statements!!! And by the way, the notion of a "genuine" scientist is entirely meaningless, since you are either a scientist or you are not...

      Sorry, I don't agree. You should consider more carefully what you say, because is incorrect. Pytagora knows nothing about science (and for science I mean empirical science, that is extensive of knowledge) he was a mathematician and mystic, and mathematics is not a science, at the best you can say that is a formal science, like logic, but if you don't apply it, it remains a formal knowledge, nothing less nothing more. Democritus was still impiged with the conflict between intellect and perception and preferred the former: atoms are not bodies otherwise they could be divided up to the infinite (and, by the way, this criticism is by Aristotle). Less rhetoric please, more depth.

    Renaissance refers to rebirth meaning that there was a rebirth in knowledge art culture math science and everything. When we talk about that rebirth we usually refer to the Greeks as the point of original birth. So it’s not a renaissance they’re the actual birth.

    Aristotle said - Peri Hermenias/De Interpretatione IV:IV - 'It is impossible then that being a man should mean not being a man - i.e. - it will not be possible to be and not be the same thing' & he takes this conflation of man & thing to consolidate the 'law' [principium] of non-contradiction 'not both A and not-A simultaneously'. In creating Non-Cantorian set theory [= Mengenlehre] I showed quantities not obeying this 'law' & in fact used the Grandi [= Fourier-Bolzano] series = -1 + 1 - 1 + 1 ... as a denumerable isomorphic line to yield the ambiguous sums 0, 1 and 1/2, using the latter to suggest an 'in-betweener' function for different infinities. As non-contradiction is a correlate of tertium exclusi and identity, I considered it evident A = A in Aristotelianism implies A is not subject to 'slippage' - i.e. - it holds to a myth of fixity in which becoming [Gk: gignomai] represses movement. Aristotle himself regarded these 'laws' as without proof & in his first ever logical treatise circa 350 BC its very title Analutika Protera Ln: Analytica Priora equates analutos = solved & episteme = knowing logicality whereas, in fact, solvability is based on the falsehood of no intermediary between contradictory statements. Aristotle's self-evidence for axiomata actually assumes a self which solves [= analuo upo principium tertii exclusi], but I connected recursive, infinite bases - themselves augmentative & thus incomplete - with "human beings", demonstrating mortals are neither human nor beings. Aristotelianism bedevils western ideologies in its Essentialism & it blocks TRANSFIGURATION, whereas Platonism at least indicates homoiosis to theo without, however, knowing how to actually achieve immortalization.

    العلم في منظوره الجديد (روبرت افروس دكتوراة فلسفة و جورج ستانيوس دكتوراة فيزياء )(الماضي و الخبرة العامة )(9).
    أهمية أرسطو ليست ناجمة عن معالجته لأكثر المواضيع و ليست نابعة من آرائه حول معظم القضايا و لكنها نابعة من وضوح إجابته و لكن من أين أتى هذا الوضوح ؟
    أتى من صفاء عقله ،
    و هنا الأهم و الأكثر أهمية لماذا تمتع أرسطو بالوضوح و صفاء العقل و الذهن؟
    فاتت اجوبته واضحة ،
    ليس كما يعتقد الكثيرون من ذكائه ، صفاء عقله ووضوح ذهنه هو انه راقب بعقله الاشياء من حوله دون افكار مسبقة و دون نظريات سابقة ، فلم تكن في عصره قد تزاحمت النظريات و كل تدعي الحقيقة و لا نظريات كثيرة تدعي المعرفة ولا أفكار كثيرة تدعي تفسير كل شيء
    و هذا يفسر بجزء منه لماذا سيطرت على عصرنا الحديث الفوض و الضبابية و الغموض و يفسر لماذا انتشرت المذاهب و قلت الأجوبة الحقيقية و الواضحة ،فساد الاضطراب و شاعت المتناقضات و تضاربت الآراء و تزاحمت على الساحة التيارات و الأهواء ،فنفر الناس من السؤال و ماتت الدهشة في النفوس فلحؤوا إلى حياتهم العادية يعيشون في قضاء شؤنهم بعيدا عن التأويلات و بعيدا عن تخرصات المذاهب المتعددة و النماذج المتضاربة و ألمتحارية و استأثرت بالساحة فئة امتهنت و احتكرت قرار الفكر و الثقافة ضاعت المعالم و فقدت الناس الثقة بهذه المؤسسات المتناحرة ، بأس الناس فلاذوا بالهدوء و راحوا يبحثون عن الطمأنينة و عن راحة العقل و تركوا السؤال و روحه الدهشة ماتت الرغبة و حلت في المكان العادة و الرتابة ، يذكر الكتاب أخطاء وقع فيها أرسطو و الحقيقة أن أكبر خطأ واضح وقع فيه أرسطو لا يزل الناس في الشرق كما في الغرب يرددونه ليل نهار و هو تعريفه للإنسان : الإنسان حيوان ناطق.
    و المعروف أن ميزة الحيوان إذا جاز التعبير و اعتبار عدم النطق ميزة للحيوان هو أنه لا يتكلم و لا ينطق و التعريف الادق هو ان الإنسان كائن عاقل .
    فالنبات و الحيوان و الانسان هم قبل كل شيء كائنات حية و بالتالي فالتعرف الحقيقي و الأقرب إلى الصحة هو كالتالي الإنسان كائن ناطق بدل حيوان ناطق ثم ان الإنسان لا يتميز عن الحيوان بالنطق بل كذلك بالارادة الحرة و بالاختيار الواعي و هو الكائن الوحيد الذي يضحك و هو الوحيد الذي يملك وعيا نوعيا يختلف عن وعي النبات و الحيوان لأنه يعي نفسه و غيره و يخطط للمستقبل لذلك كان التعريف الأقرب إلى الواقع و الحقيقة هو ان تهجر تعريف أرسطو الفاسد و نعتمد التعريف الادق :
    الإنسان كائن عاقل .
