Aristotle Research Paper

INTRODUCTION

Aristotle is considered the first genuine scientist in history. He wrote about countless subjects such as biology, ethics, logic, physics, rhetoric, and politics. Aristotle’s work comprised the first Systematic form of Western Philosophy. Long before the Renaissance became a thing Aristotle was a Renaissance Man. He was a man driven by the desire to understand and know every possible thing under the sun. His works are filled with detailed observations as well as speculations of the world. Aristotle was a keen student during his studies and often disagreed with his teacher Plato, the most. Aristotle believed that a state exists for the sake of the good and happy life, so that the best form of government will be one which promotes the well-being of all of its citizens.

In this paper we will be focused on Aristotle’s life and his contributions to the field of political science. (A&E Television Networks, 2017) (Amadio & Kenny, 1999)

ARISTOTLE’S LIFE

Aristotle was born in Stagira, in

They came to be known as “The Peripatetic” from the Greek for “walking around”. During his time at the Lyceum, Aristotle studied almost every topic. He was one of the early pioneers in the field of Biology. His notes are full of observations about various life forms, including the embryology of the chick and the chambered stomach of ruminants. Aristotle is thought to have dissected marine animals including the octopus and other invertebrates since his observations were so accurate. He attempted a classification of animals based on shared characteristics, including where they lived: in the air, in the water, or on land; and whether they had red blood or not ( which is not too different from our distinction between vertebrates and invertebrates). Aristotle’s system of classification continued to be used for over a thousand years. (A&E Television Networks, 2017) (Amadio & Kenny,
