Aristotle

Chairo, greetings! I have dedicated this myspace to Aristotle; his contributions being not truly understood and appreciated. Aristotle,(384-322BC) was an Ancient Greek philosopher born at Stagira Macedonia. One of the most influential philosophers, along with Plato his teacher, they helped to develop the roots of Westernized thought, mainly contributing to science and ethics. Most of the true things we can know as real are those that are grounded as experience through the senses, in contrast to Plato's view that the soul is the source of a true knowledge called 'forms', empirical knowledge being subjective. Aristotle's ideas contributed to notions such as the importance of the scientific method in understanding and evaluating our world. Aristotle also believed that the soul is the essence of what distinguishes us as human, our core personalized being expressing who we are, but he denied that it is a separate entity. The faculty of reasoning being the distinguishably human ability, allowing for the evaluation of knowledge, much of which being empirically obtained. He is also well known for his contributions to politics, astronomy, logic, metaphysics, ecology and ethics; Virtue of the mean, friendship and happiness for the individual and society.
"Virtue then, is a state of character concerned with choice, lying in a mean, the mean relative to us, this being determined by a rational principle, and by that principle by which the man of practical wisdom would determine it. Now it is a mean between two vices, that which depends on excess and that which depends on defect; and again it is a mean because the vices respectively fall short of or exceed what is right in both passions and actions, while virtue both finds and chooses that which is intermediate." – Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics)

We are on the brink of a revolution.
