       Aristotle - Philosophy and Ethics
       Life
       Biography
       Aristotle was born in 384 BC in Stageira, Greece. He was a
       student of Plato and later on a tutor for Alexander the Great.
       Aristotle wrote many still important works in almost every
       scientifical topic, for example Logic, Physics, Metaphysics,
       Biology, Philosophy, Ethics, Politics, Rhetoric and Poetics.
       Aristotle died in 322 BC in Euboea.
       Plato
       Plato (428 BC - 348 BC) was Aristotle's teacher at the Academy
       in Athens. He is famous for his works about philosophy, logic,
       ethics, rhetoric and mathematics.
       Alexander the Great (356 BC - 323 BC) was a student of Aristotle
       in subjects like medicine, morals, religion, logic and art. He
       was a king of the state Macedonia and one of the most successful
       commanders of all time.
       Philosophy
       Ethics is a philosophical subject which handles the question of
       the best way to live. Aristotle's answer to this question was to
       live the life of philosophy and contemplation.
       Politics
       Aristotle's politics are about the natural community of a city.
       In Aristotle's treatises the aim of the city is not just to
       prevent injustice or keep economic safety, but rather to allow
       at at least some citizens the possibility to live a good life.
       The word politics is derived from the greek word polis (city).
       Rhetoric
       In Aristotle's treatises rhetoric was one of the three key
       elements of philosophy, along with logic and dialectic. These
       elements together create a system of persuasion based on
       knowledge instead of manipulation of emotion.
       Poetics
       Aristotle's treatise on poetics is supposed to be the first
       surviving work on philosophy with focus on literary theory. In
       ancient Greek poetry included drama, comedy and tragedy as well
       as satyr play and epic poetry.
       Science
       Logic
       Aristotle is credited with the earliest study of formal logic,
       and his conception of it was the dominant form of Western logic
       until the 19th century. Aristotle's teacher Plato developed a
       reasonable conception of a deducting system but could never
       acutally construct one.
       Physics
       In his studies on physics Aristotle assumed that there are five
       elements: Fire, Earth, Air, Water and a new one which he added,
       Aether. His physical works also contained motion, causality,
       optics, chance and spontaneity.
       Metaphysics
       The term metaphyisics was created after Aristotle's death and
       means behind the physics. Aristotle defines metaphysics as the
       knowledge of immaterial being or of being in the highest degree
       of abstraction. He calls metaphysics the first philosophy and
       the theologic science.
       Biology
       Aristotle's research in the field of biology were mainly about
       the natural environment of the island Lesbos, where he observed
       the surrounding seas and also neighbouring areas. He created a
       classification of animals in today's called vertebrates and
       invertebrates and live-bearing and egg-bearing.
