Episode 1226
Join us as we explore the life of the ancient Greek polymath Aristotle, a figure so influential that medieval scholars simply referred to him as "The Philosopher". From his twenty years at Plato’s Academy to his time tutoring the future conqueror Alexander the Great, we trace the journey of the man who founded the Lyceum and the Peripatetic school of philosophy.
In this episode, we dive into Aristotle's massive body of work, which spans logic, biology, ethics, politics, and rhetoric. We break down his revolutionary concepts, including the "Four Causes" of existence, the "Golden Mean" of virtue, and his pioneering, systematic classification of over 500 animal species. Discover why Dante called him "the master of those who know" and how his writings set the groundwork for the development of modern science.
