Description
"Lives of Eminent People" is a series of biographical and artistic-biographical books published from 1890 to 1924 by the F.F. Pavlenkov publishing house.
"Lives of Eminent People" is the first in Russia universal collection of biographies of outstanding figures: artists, musicians, painters, writers, commanders, and politicians—scientists and philosophers of different eras and countries—written on the basis of historical and literary sources. Recommended for a wide reading audience.
Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) — ancient Greek philosopher. Student of Plato. From 343 BC — tutor to Alexander the Great. A naturalist of the classical period. The most influential of the philosophers of antiquity; the founder of formal logic. Created a conceptual apparatus that still permeates philosophical vocabulary and the style of scientific thinking.
Aristotle was the first thinker to create a comprehensive system of philosophy covering all spheres of human development: sociology, philosophy, politics, logic, physics. His views on ontology had a serious influence on the subsequent development of human thought. Aristotle’s metaphysical doctrine was accepted by Thomas Aquinas and developed by the scholastic method. Karl Marx called Aristotle the greatest thinker of antiquity.
