Bøger af Aristotle

One of the most important philosophical works in history, a work that has had tremendous influence on philosophy, literature, and psychology, and has helped lay the foundations of the modern day intellectual landscape. The influence of 'The Nicomachean Ethics' is still visible in the works of philosophers of the 21st century, such as Martha Nussbaum and Alasdair MacIntyre.With remarkable lucidity, Aristotle tackles the question of the nature of happiness, and that of moral and intellectual virtues. He aims to prove that both are linked to and indivisible from one another—that virtuous behaviour is necessary if happiness is to be obtained—and from this he maps out the steps to follow and the requirements to achieve it. In short, 'The Nicomachean Ethics' sketches out a hierarchy of virtues to find the highest good a human can accomplish, which in turn will lead them to true happiness.Aristotle (384–322 BC) is one of the most influential philosophers in history. His achievements and the breadth of his knowledge, though, do not stop at philosophy. He is also among the rare thinkers to have approached all the fields of knowledge he came across (biology, physics, metaphysics, logic, poetics, politics, rhetoric, ethics, economics) with success. Among his works, the most lauded are: "Metaphysics", "On the Soul" and "Poetics".

Voici là un texte majeur de la philosophie occidentale, et le point de départ de presque toutes les réflexions de notre ère, celui que constitue « la philosophie première ».C'est dans cet ouvrage qu'a été rédigé la toute première histoire de la philosophie, une tâche délicate qui consiste pour Aristote à délier ce que ses contemporains jugeaient indissociable, « la philosophie » et « la philo­sophie de Platon », et à faire de cette discipline indispensable un programme à suivre pour toutes les générations futures.Mais c'est aussi dans ce livre que se trouve exprimée la célèbre idée selon laquelle l'étonnement est à l'origine de la philosophie et des découvertes du monde ; car comme n'importe quel enfant, « tous les hommes désirent naturellement connaître » ; aussi ne tardons pas à nous étonner de la science, de la philosophie, et d'un Aristote prolifique.Aristote (384-322 avant notre ère) est l’un des philosophes les plus influents qu'ait jamais connu l’Histoire. Mais s’il est souvent considéré comme tel, il est aussi l'un des rares penseurs à avoir abordé presque tous les domaines de connaissance : biologie, physique, métaphysique, logique, poétique, politique, rhétorique, éthique, économie… Parmi ses ouvrages les plus connus on retrouve : « Métaphysique », « De l'Âme », « La Poétique »...

Many of his works are still studied to this day. Born in Stagira, Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) had a different take on philosophy. The founder of the peripatetic school, his doctrines are based on asking ‘why?’, before drawing conclusions.A former slave, Epictetus (50 AD – C 135) went on to promote philosophy as a way of life, rather than a set of beliefs. Credited as one of the fathers of Western philosophy, Socrates (470 BC – 399 BC) brought morality and ethics into the philosophical spotlight. Heraclitus (535 BC – 475 BC) was one of the pioneers of logic and drew from a variety of philosophical ideas.

Aristotle's Poetics is best known for its definition and analysis of tragedy and comedy, but it also applies to truth and beauty as they are manifested in the other arts. In our age, when the natural and social sciences have dominated the quest for truth, it is helpful to consider why Aristotle claimed: "poetry is more philosophical and more significant than history." Like so many other works by Aristotle, the Poetics has dominated the way we have thought about all forms of dramatic performance in Europe and America ever since. The essence of poetry lies in its ability to transcend the particulars of everyday experience and articulate universals, not merely what has happened but what might happen and what ought to happen. Perhaps the greatest tribute to Aristotle comes from St. Thomas Aquinas who, in the 13th century, simply referred to him as "the Philosopher" and called him the master of those who know. Born in northeastern Greece, Aristotle went to Athens as a young man to study in Plato’s Academy where he remained for more than 20 years. When Plato died, he left the Academy, and four years later he returned to Macedonia to tutor the king’s son who quickly became Alexander the Great, the ruler of most of the civilized world. Like Plato, Aristotle’s writings extend far beyond what we currently call philosophy, including the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities.
