Biography of the philosopher Aristotle
The great Aristotle was born in Stogira, Macedonia, about two hundred miles north of Athens in 384 BC. Among the ancient scientists and philosophers, Aristotle is the foremost in the world. He is also called the guru of science, astronomy and philosophy.
This philosopher's father was Alexander's grandfather (grandfather), a friend and physician to King Aerimontus of Macedonia. Being surrounded by the practice of medicine since childhood, Aristotle became a scientist like his father. But in those ancient times, the means of scientific practice were not machines—only the extraordinary talent and observational skills of wise men and women. For as Pella, a modern Greek scholar and writer, says of Aristotle, he was obliged to tell the time without a clock, to examine the weather without a thermometer. Because nothing on which the practical opinion of modern science is founded was then discovered.
Therefore, in the absence of a telescope, Aristotle's astronomy has become a childish fantasy. Lacking a microscope, his biology has become aimless and misguided. Despite the unparalleled achievements of his time in various fields, Greece lagged far behind in industrial and technical inventions. Perhaps this is why Aristotle rarely mentions experiments—because the instruments of experimentation had not yet been invented. The only force he could use was constant and comprehensive observation.However, despite these limitations, Aristotle, with his tireless efforts, hard work and his own extraordinary talent, with the help of his other collaborators, left behind a huge collection of information in just 62 years of life, people have to be shocked. He has written numerous books on various subjects. Some say four hundred, some say a few thousand. Only a fraction of his work has been preserved—yet it is the equivalent of a library.
First there is his work on logic. Then there is his collection of works related to science. Such as Physics, Astronomy, Meteorology, Evolution and Decay, Natural History, Soul, Organs, Movements and Reproduction. Thirdly, there are his works on beauty theory. For example - 'Alankar' and 'Kavyasastra'. Fourthly, there are his various philosophical works. Such as—ethics, politics, and metaphysics.
Although it can be seen that there are enough mistakes in his works when considering other philosophers of his time, he has drawn many misleading conclusions in scientific data, but still the unprecedented combination of knowledge and opinion in his works is rich in incomparable richness even in modern times.
Aristotle's world conquest in the realm of knowledge is more glorious than his one-time student Alexander the Great. Although Aristotle showed more versatility than his master Plato, he also gave the world a vast store of philosophical and scientific writings. However, Aristotle received much help in his research from his student Alexander in many ways, including financial support—which Plato did not. Aristotle died in 322 BC at the age of 62.
