Q1

The school is found in the era of the Ancient Greek, where there is a person called, Aristotle.He was a famous Ancient
Greek philosopher and polymath who dedicated to different fields, He founded the Peripatetic school of philosophy in
Athens and played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for modern science. Born in Stagira, Greece, he joined
Plato's Academy in Athens at a young age and later tutored Alexander the Great.

It is quite interesting that even the Alexander, the great conquer, actually inspired by Aristotle.

Although much of his work has been lost over time, his teachings have influencing various domains from medieval
scholarship to physical science. His observations in biology, once doubted, were later confirmed in the 19th century.
Aristotle's impact extended to Judes-Islamic philosophies, Christian theology, and he was remembered by many as
"The First Teacher" or simply "The Philosopher. After him, the subject was enriched by the contributions of Socrates
and Plato. While Socrates questioned traditional beliefs and emphasised the importance of self-knowledge, Plato, his
student, introduced the idea of an abstract realm of perfect Forms. Aristotle, having studied under Plato at the
Academy in Athens, diverged from his mentor's idealism and instead championed a philosophy grounded in the
empirical world.The cultural milieu of Athens played a pivotal role in shaping Aristotle's thought. The city's emphasis
on public discourse, its democratic institutions, and its appreciation for the arts and sciences provided a fertile ground
for Aristotle's explorations Aristotelianism was a product of its time, reflecting the values, curiosities, and spirit of
inquiry that defined Classical Athens.

Q2

Aristotle (384–322 B.C.E.) numbers among the greatest philosophers of all time. Judged solely in terms of his
philosophical influence, only Plato is his peer: Aristotle’s works shaped centuries of philosophy from Late Antiquity
through the Renaissance, and even today continue to be studied with keen, non-antiquarian interest. A prodigious
researcher and writer, Aristotle left a great body of work, perhaps numbering as many as two-hundred treatises, from
which approximately thirty-one survive. His extant writings span a wide range of disciplines, from logic, metaphysics
and philosophy of mind, through ethics, political theory, aesthetics and rhetoric, and into such primarily non-
philosophical fields as empirical biology, where he excelled at detailed plant and animal observation and description.
In all these areas, Aristotle’s theories have provided illumination, met with resistance, sparked debate, and generally
stimulated the sustained interest of an abiding readership.

Because of its wide range and its remoteness in time, Aristotle’s philosophy defies easy encapsulation. The long
history of interpretation and appropriation of Aristotelian texts and themes—spanning over two millennia and
comprising philosophers working within a variety of religious and secular traditions—has rendered even basic points
of interpretation controversial. The set of entries on Aristotle in this site

ddresses this situation by proceeding in three tiers. First, the present, general entry offers a brief account of Aristotle’s
life and characterises his central philosophical commitments, highlighting his most distinctive methods and most
influential achievements. Second are General Topics, which offer detailed introductions to the main areas of
Aristotle’s philosophical activity. Finally, there follow Special Topics, which investigate in greater detail more
narrowly focused issues, especially those of central concern in recent Aristotelian scholarship.
Q3

The extent to which Aristotelian thought has become a component of civilization can
hardly be overestimated. To begin, there are certain words that have become
indispensable for the articulate communication of thoughts, experiences, and problems.
Some words still carry their Greek form, whereas others have become established in
their more important meanings as Latin equivalents of Aristotle’s own words. The
centuries-long impact of Aristotelian schooling lies at the root of the establishment of
the following vocabulary: “subject” as expressing the two correlative aspects of
something that has acquired or acquires something else that is possibly essential to it;
as the active power in a thing; “potential” for what is latent but can be released;
“substance” and “essence,” “quantity” and “quality,” “accidental,” “relation,” (and the
many meanings of “because” corresponding to the four causes), “”

Aristotelianism, rooted in the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, emerged during the 4th century
BCE, a period marked by profound intellectual and cultural dynamism in Athens. This era, often referred to as the
Classical period of Ancient Greece, was characterised by its significant advancements in art, science, politics, and
philosophy. Athens, the epicentre of these developments, was a thriving democracy, fostering an environment
conducive to free thought and debate.

The philosophical landscape of the time was already enriched by the contributions of Socrates and Plato. While
Socrates questioned traditional beliefs and emphasised the importance of self-knowledge, Plato, his student,
introduced the idea of an abstract realm of perfect Forms. Aristotle, having studied under Plato at the Academy in
Athens, diverged from his mentor's idealism and instead championed a philosophy grounded in the empirical world.

The cultural milieu of Athens played a pivotal role in shaping Aristotle's thought. The city's emphasis on public
discourse, its democratic institutions, and its appreciation for the arts and sciences provided a fertile ground for
Aristotle's explorations. Furthermore, the Greek fascination with the natural world, order, and categorisation resonated
deeply with Aristotle's systematic approach to knowledge.

In essence, Aristotelianism was a product of its time, reflecting the values, curiosities, and spirit of inquiry that
defined Classical Athens. The philosophy, while rooted in its historical context, has transcended its origins,
influencing countless generations and civilisations thereafter.
