The Complete Aristotle (eng.)

About Aristotle:
    Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student
of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings cover
many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater,
music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology, and
zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher),
Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western
philosophy. Aristotle's writings constitute a first at creating a
comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality
and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.
Aristotle's views on the physical sciences profoundly shaped
medieval scholarship, and their influence extended well into the
Renaissance, although they were ultimately replaced by Newtonian
physics. In the biological sciences, some of his observations were
confirmed to be accurate only in the nineteenth century. His works
contain the earliest known formal study of logic, which was
incorporated in the late nineteenth century into modern formal
logic. In metaphysics, Aristotelianism had a profound influence on
philosophical and theological thinking in the Islamic and Jewish
traditions in the Middle Ages, and it continues to influence
Christian theology, especially Eastern Orthodox theology, and the
scholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. His ethics, though
always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent
of virtue ethics. All aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue to
be the object of active academic study today. Though Aristotle
wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues (Cicero described his
literary style as "a river of gold"), it is thought that the
majority of his writings are now lost and only about one-third of
the original works have survived. Despite the far-reaching appeal
that Aristotle's works have traditionally enjoyed, today modern
scholarship questions a substantial portion of the Aristotelian
corpus as authentically Aristotle's own.
