LIFE

Aristotle was born around 384 BC in the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia,
where his father was the royal doctor. He grew up to be arguably the most
influential philosopher ever, with modest nicknames like ‘the master’, and simply
‘the philosopher’.

Aristotle then headed off to Athens, worked with Plato for a bit, then branched
out on his own. He founded a little school called The Lyceum: French secondary
schools, lycée, are named in honour of this venture.

His followers were named Peripatetics, the wanderers. Fun fact, he liked to walk
about while teaching and discussing ideas and his books are actually lecture notes
from Plato.

WRITINGS

Aristotle's writings were held by his student Theophrastus, who had succeeded
Aristotle in leadership of the Peripatetic School. Theophrastus's library passed to
his pupil Neleus. To protect the books from theft, Neleus's heirs concealed them
in a vault, where they were damaged somewhat by dampness, moths and worms.

(logic)

 The key component of Aristotelian logic is the syllogism.

 Major premise – TRUTH

 Minor premise – SPECIFIC FACT

 Conclusion – COMBINATION OF MAJOR AND MINOR PREMISE

EXAMPLE

 Major premise: All men are mortal.

 Minor premise: Socrates is a man.

 Conclusion: Socrates is mortal.

 Therefore, what applies to all members of a group applies to each and


every member.
(physical works)

EXAMPLE

 a chair, a blackboard, a piece of chalk, a shoe.

 If you know what these things are used for, you can properly explain
it. Another thing is by giving examples. If you thoroughly understood
the word or the term, you can give examples for other people to
define it too.

WRITING

1. WHAT MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY

These 11 virtues are named magnificence or gloriousness, magnanimity or being


generous and kind-natured, pride or self-respect, patience, truthfulness,
wittiness, friendliness, courage, temperance or controlling your actions, liberality
or bigheartedness and justice or fairness

These virtues lie between 2 extremes. For example, the virtue is PATIENCE. Think
of it like it’s a positive and a negative trait. The low extreme of patience is ill-
tempered while its high extreme is tolerant.

PHILOSOPHY: People that lack virtue should be understood as unfortunate rather


than wicked. What they really need is guidance and the way to happiness is being
good ad understanding at all times.

3. WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR

There are 3 different kinds of friendship

1. for fun: MANGGAGAMIT. their main interest is in their own pleasure and the
opportunity of the moment the other person provides

2. strategic acquaintance: MANGGAGAMIT + PLASTIKADA. They take pleasure in


each other’s company only insofar they have hopes of advantage of it.

3. true friend: MAMSHIE. you care about them as much as they care about
yourself.

PHILOSOPHY: The sorrows of a true friend are your sorrows. Their joys are yours.
You expand into the life of another, together you become larger, cleverer, more
resilient, more fair-minded. You share virtues and cancel out each other’s defects.
Friendship teaches us what we ought to be: it is, quite literally, the best part of
life.
