SynopsisAristotle was named the 'master of those who know.' He is a foundational thinker in every field of inquiry. He established logic as a systematic discipline, conceived the earliest rules of science, developed a rational psychology, a political science and an outline of sociology, and gave us a virtue theory of ethics that is still a model today. His contributions to metaphysics continue to permeate modern philosophy. He supplied the first theory of aesthetics, which still provides the basis of debates today. Aristotle's authority extended beyond his time to influence Islamic society and medieval scholasticism. For fifteen hundred years he remained the paradigm of knowledge itself, until scientific empiricism in the 17th century is said to have discredited his methods. Is this true? How 'scientific' is Aristotle?, This text provides resources and graphic details on Aristotle for students and uninitiated lay readers. This book asks the question of how scientific is Aristotle?, This title is now available in a new format. Refer to Aristotle: A Graphic Guide 9781848311695. Aristotle was known as the 'master of those who know'. A foundational thinker in every field of inquiry, he is unmatched even by his teacher Plato for his extraordinary range of mind. Introducing Aristotle guides the reader through an explosion of theories, from the establishment of systematic logic to the earliest rules of science. Aristotle not only composed the first theory of aesthetics, but also developed a rational psychology, a political science and an outline of sociology, giving us the virtue theory of ethics that is still debated today. His contributions to metaphysics - on being, existence, substance and causality - continue to permeate modern philosophy. Certainly, no postmodernist debate is complete without an understanding of the impact of his investigations into dialectics and semiotics. Aristotle's authority extended beyond his own lifetime to influence fundamentally Islamic philosophy and medieval scholasticism. For fifteen centuries he remained the paradigm of knowledge itself - until 17th-century empiricists attempted to discredit the 'scientific' nature of his methods. But can Aristotelian realism still be used to underpin our conception of the world today?
