By those years, he begins to exist an alive feeling
anti-Macedonian, reason why Aristotle retires to Calcis (Eubea), where a. C dies
in the 322. According to the investigating well-known of the feeling of
Aristotle, W. D. Ross, the works of the philosopher can be classified in three
groups: Works directed to a group in general (about the philosophy, the
politician): collections of materials, compiled surely by its disciples (the
construction of Athens): and works written by the same philosopher for its
disciples (physical and Metaphysical, poetic, rhetorical, etc.). No single
Aristotle was a good thinker but that in addition he contributed to the history
of the philosophy with a great amount of philosophical terms that are used until
today. The great subjects that approached as thinking are the following ones:
the critic to the platonic theory of the ideas, the logic (the syllogism, the
demonstration and the definition: metaphysics (the being, the substance, the
matter and the form, the power and the act); the physics (the nature, the
movement, the four causes, the first motor, etc.); the soul, the knowledge, the
ethics and the virtue and the policy. |
