Sinopsis :
Aristotle(384–322 bc) was born in Stagira in northern Greece. His father was physician to the Macedonian court. At the age of 17Aristotle was sent to Athens to study at Plato’s Academy. He was associated with the Academy for a period of twenty years. Upon Plato’s death in 347 bc, and the subsequent election of the mathematically-oriented Speucippus to head the Academy, Aristotle chose to pur-sue his biological and philosophical studies in Asia Minor. In 342 bche returned to Macedonia as tutor to Alexander the Great, a relationship which lasted two or three years. By 335 bcAristotle had returned to Athens and had established the Peripatetic School in the Lyceum. In the course of his teaching at the Lyceum, he discussed logic, epistemology, physics, biology, ethics, politics, and aesthetics. The works that have come to us from this period appear to be compilations of lecture notes rather than polished pieces intended for publication. They range from speculation about the attributes predicable of ‘being-as-such’ to encyclopedic presentations of data on natural history and the constitutions of Greek city-states. The Posterior Analyticsis Aristotle’s principal work on the philosophy of science. In addition, the Physicsand the Metaphysicscontain discussions of certain aspects of scientific method.
