In the 330s BCE, the great philosopher and scientist, Aristotle of Stagira in northern Greece, returned to Athens and founded his Lyceum. The first institution in world history to encompass teaching, research and the collection of a vast library, the Lyceum immediately began to revive even Plato’s Academy in international reputation. 
 
This lecture looks at the archaeological site of the Lyceum, discovered accidentally in 1996, and asks how the remains can illuminate Aristotle’s life, work, and incomparable contribution across academic disciplines, from Political Theory and Aesthetics to Zoology, Physics and Astronomy.

4 Aristotle

10 mrt. 2021

Plato’s most brilliant student and perhaps the most significant intellectual in world history, Aristotle of Stageira built on the doctrines he had studied at the Academy but also radically disagreed with them. 
 
The founder of Athens’ second great university, the Lyceum, did not believe there was any perfect, ideal world that transcended human ability to see, touch, smell and hear it, and proposed that all philosophy begin from with material reality of being a human animal in a complex natural world. 
 
Aristotle contributed to many disciplines—scientific subjects as well as ‘Humanities’, but his core philosophical beliefs are laid down in his Nicomachean Ethics, Politics and Rhetoric, which are analysed in this lecture, as well as the major works of the next generation of practitioners of what became known as ‘Peripatetic’ philosophy. 
 
A lecture by Edith Hall 
 
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: 
 
 
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 2,000 lectures free to access or download from the website.

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher who lived from 384 BC to 322 BC. He was a student of Plato and a teacher of Alexander the Great. Aristotle’s ideas and works have had a profound impact on Western philosophy and thought. Some key points of Aristotle’s philosophy include:

  1. Logic: Aristotle is considered the father of logic, and his work in this field has influenced both philosophy and mathematics. He developed a system of deductive reasoning known as syllogism, which is still used today.

  2. Metaphysics: Aristotle’s metaphysics deals with the study of reality, including the concepts of substance, causality, and potentiality. He believed that everything in the universe is composed of substances, which have essential characteristics that define them.

  3. Ethics: Aristotle’s ethics is focused on the idea of eudaimonia, or happiness, which he believed was the ultimate goal of human life. He argued that living a virtuous life was essential to achieving happiness.

  4. Politics: Aristotle’s politics is concerned with the study of government and society. He believed that the best form of government was a mixed constitution that incorporated elements of democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy.

  5. Biology: Aristotle’s work in biology was groundbreaking for its time. He classified living things into categories, and his observations and writings on the natural world influenced scientific thought for centuries to come.

Overall, Aristotle’s philosophy is characterized by a systematic approach to understanding the world and the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake.

FURTHER READING

“Aristotle was born around 384 BC in the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia, where his father was the royal doctor. He grew up to be arguably the most influential philosopher ever, with modest nicknames like ‘the master’, and simply ‘the philosopher’. One of his big jobs was tutoring Alexander the Great, who soon after went out and conquered the known world…”

This is a video in my new Core Concepts series — designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker. This Core Concept video focuses on book 5 of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, where Aristotle says that “justice is an equivocal term”, meaning that there are multiple senses of the term “justice”. 
 
A careful analysis of Aristotle’s text reveals that there are actually six main conceptions of justice discussed by him there: legal justice, justice as complete virtue, distributive justice, corrective justice, reciprocity, and equity.
