ARISTOTLE By: BERTHA REYES MARIFER SIERRA LUIS GARAY

WHO WAS ARISTOTLES? Aristotle, whose name means "the best purpose“ was born in 384 BCE in Stagira, Chalcidice. His works, written over 2300 years ago, continue to exert a significant influence on many contemporary thinkers and are still being studied by many specialists. Aristotle's philosophy is, next to that of his teacher Plato thought the most important legacy of ancient Greece. Despite being a disciple of Plato, Aristotle distanced idealistic positions, to produce a naturalistic thinking and realistic. Facing the radical separation between the sensible and the intelligible world posed by Platonic doctrines, defended the possibility of apprehending reality from experience.

ARISTOTLE'S FOUR FUNDAMENTAL TO THE THEORY OF PLATO'S IDEAS REVIEWS: He criticizes both worlds: for Aristotle is one; support two worlds complicates the explanation unnecessarily reduplicating reality. Plato does not offer a rational explanation when talking about the two worlds. It is restricted to use myths and metaphors, rather than conceptually clarify their proposals. There is no clear causal relation of the ideal world of the sensible world. It does not explain how ideas are causes of sensitive and changeable things. Not infer that an object of an idea is derived.

PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES OF THOUGHT Aristotle was a systematic philosopher, that is, a thinker who or had proposed a system. But to understand a system makes need to understand how they are interrelated parts. And to do so, must find out what the threads that are sewn, the stones angular points enclave. They are the philosophical principles operating in your system. But what is a principle? And which of them operate Aristotle philosophically? Aristotle says that principle is both the cause of motion something like perfection or completion, as well as its generation and knows ability system. In general principle, taken as a cause, means first. The principle concept governed both loved to knowledge of beings. By that principle is that from which something is done and known. A summary of the Aristotelian philosophical principles, scoring its consequences and its nature, may well serve to access to the understanding of Aristotelian philosophy, because these principles are the twigs with which our author builds his theoretical system.

PHILOSOPHICAL IDEAS In astronomy, Aristotle proposed the existence of a finite spherical universe would have the Earth as center. The central part would be composed of four elements: earth, air, fire and water. In his Physics, each of these elements has a proper place, determined by its relative weight or "specific gravity". Each element moves, naturally straight Skies, however, move naturally and infinitely complex following a circular motion, so they should, according to logic, be composed of a fifth element, which he called aither. In biology, Aristotle proposed a fixed set of natural kinds (species), which are reproduced faithfully to class. He thought that the exception to this rule was the appearance spontaneously typical life cycles are epicycles: the same pattern, albeit through a linear succession of individuals is repeated. In Ethics, Aristotle believed that the individual's freedom of choice impossible an accurate and complete analysis of human affairs, so that the "practical sciences", such as politics or ethics, science is called only by courtesy and analogy. Inherent limitations to the practical sciences are clarified in the Aristotelian concepts of human nature and self.
