Aristotle

=__ Aristotle __= .

Aristotle was born in 343 BC in Thessalonica. His father was the personal physician of the king of Macedon. He was called: Nichomachus. Aristotle was a Greek philosopher, he was taught by someone called Plato who had laid down the foundations of science, natural and western philosophy. Aristotle went to his academy when he was about 18 years old. The academy was on Athens and was found by Plato. It was called the Plato academy. Aristotle remained at the academy for around 20 years. He left when Plato died in 347 BC. He taught someone that was called Alexander the great. Aristotle wrote a lot on things such as physics, poetry, theatre, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, biology and something that is called metaphysics. He was the first person to make a comprehensive system of western philosophy that included things like morality, aesthetics, science, logic, politics and the strange thing called metaphysics. Aristotle, Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), were one of the most important founders of the western philosophy. Aristotle also classified the things that we call vertebrates and invertebrates as things that had blood and did not have blood he did not know that some invertebrates. Aristotle thought that the world was made from five elements: earth, air, fire, water and something called Aether. Ather was supposedly something that was weightless and pure. Aristotle thought that the earth was made with earth, and then water, then air and then fire. Aether was supposedly the thing that made all the other things. Aristotle thought that if an element went out of it's normal place, it would somehow try and go back, even though Aristotle also said that things could only move if it was pushed by something. This was supposedly why rain would fall, fire would rise, air bubbles would go up and rocks would sink when they went in water or were dropped. Aristotle is considered a ground breaker because laid down the foundations western philosophy. He was probably inspired by his teacher Plato who had laid down the foundations of science, natural philosophy and western philosophy. Even though he was considered a ground breaker because he changed the world, but even though he was quite smart, he still made some mistakes like the one on how the world was made and how gravity worked (he thought things that were heavier had more gravity and things that were lighter had more levity).

Reflections


 * to have success, you must have endurance, to be able to think before you do something and to be able to think clearly
 * The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work. []
 * When you manage to get what you wanted.
 * They might be too lazy, they might be doing something that they are not good at, they procrastinate, mabey they are forced to do something that they dont want to do and do it half halfheartedly, maybe they are afraid or don't have enough money.
 * So you can have a good and happy life.
 * I learned that success takes a long time from Ms Rogge's class.
