A. Aristotle and Plato referred to places in their writings which were later found to exist. They provided archaeologists and researchers important clues. Ptolomey and his observations of the heavens, and the relationships of heavenly objects, made plotting courses, etc. more accurate, which enabled exploration and cartography of earthly vistas.

What did Aristotle mean when he said ethics was a practical rather than a theoretical discipline?
Q. How did Aristotle define virtue? What is the golden mean in relation to virtue? Provide three examples of the golden mean. Please answer all the following questions for me; I'm deeply grateful.
Asked by Rami - Sun Jun 7 15:45:18 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. As to the first part of your question, ethics are practical because it provides us with guidelines of behavior that result in a stable and potentially thriving community and society. By having a measure of behavior and consequence, we can promote those actions that most benefit the individual and, most importantly, society. It just makes sense to teach everyone to act according to a plan that will benefit all. Practical.

Aristotle gave Catholicism a rigorous intellectual basis, helping Aquinas develop his proofs of the existence of God for example. Yes it more than lingers today.

Asked by Gary - Sun Sep 27 16:01:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Plato: the "universal" and the "particular" are separate. For example, to see a chair is not to see the "Form" (eidos) of a chair, but only an imperfect representation. Aristotle: the form of a thing is internal to that thing. So, the form of a kitten is contained in the very internal constitution of a cat. This allows Aristotle to introduce "teleology" into his epistemology. The kitten is internally constituted to reach its natural "telos," namely, to become a cat. Cheers.
