  1. Commentaries on Aristotle

    Aristotelianism Commentaries on Aristotle refers to the great mass of literature produced, especially in the ancient and medieval world, to explain and clarify the Corpus Aristotelicum works of Aristotle . The pupils of Aristotle were the first to comment on his writings, a tradition which was continued by the Peripatetic school throughout the Hellenistic period and the Roman era . The Neoplatonists of the late Roman empire wrote many commentaries on Aristotle, attempting to incorporate him into their philosophy. Although Ancient Greek commentaries are considered the most useful, commentaries continued to be written by the Christian scholars of the Byzantine Empire , and by the many Islamic philosophy Islamic philosophers and Western scholasticism scholastics who had inherited his texts. Greek commentators The first pupils of Aristotle commentated on his writings, but often with a view to expand his work. Thus Theophrastus invented five moods of syllogism in the first figure, in addition to the four invented by Aristotle, and stated with additional accuracy the rules of hypothetical syllogism s. He also often differed with his master, ref name brucker Brucker 1837, pages 349 53 ref including in collecting much information concerning animals and natural events, which Aristotle had omitted. During the early Roman empire we find few celebrated names among the Peripatetic school Peripatetic philosophers.

  1. Philosophical movement

    Unreferenced date December 2009 A philosophical movement is either the appearance or increased popularity of a specific school of philosophy , or a fairly broad but identifiable sea change in philosophical thought on a particular subject. Major philosophical movements are often characterized with reference to the nation , language , or historical era in which they arose. Talk of a philosophical movement can often function as a shorthand for talk of the views of a great number of different philosopher s and others associated with philosophy, such as historians, artists, scientists and political figures . On the other hand, most philosophical movements in history consisted in a great number of individual thinkers who disagreed in various ways it is often inaccurate and something of a caricature to treat any movement as consisting in followers of uniform opinion. More often the defining ideas of any philosophical movement are templates on which individual thinkers develop their own particular ideas. Like specific doctrines and theories, movements are often given names with ism suffixes. What makes a movement identifiable and interesting as distinct from a specific theory is simply that a movement consists in a large flourishing of intellectual work on one or more ideas, in a fairly specifiable time and place. Following is short list of major philosophical movements, in rough chronological order Ancient philosophical movements Col begin Col 3 Confucianism Platonic realism Aristotelianism Pythagoreanism Col 3 Pyrrhonian skepticism Epicureanism hedonism Stoicism Col 3 Cynic ism Col end Medieval philosophical movements Neo Confucianism Neoplatonism Thomism Scotism Scholasticism Modern philosophical movements Col begin Col 2 Empiricism Existentialism German idealism Logicism Logical positivism Logical Positivism Col 2 Modernism Phenomenology philosophy Phenomenology Pragmatism Rationalism Utilitarianism Col end Contemporary philosophical movements Deconstruction ism See als ...   more details



  1. Nectarius of Jerusalem

    Nectarius of Jerusalem 1605 1680 was Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem from 1660 to 1669. He was born in Crete in 1605, and died about 1680. He was educated by the monks of Sinai Peninsula Sinai where he himself became a monk but when thirty five years of age he studied at Athens with the Neo Aristotelianism Aristotelian Theophilos Corydalleus . About 1660 he was in Constantinople on business connected with his monastery, and on his return to Sinai was chosen abbot. But on his way to Jerusalem to be consecrated he was informed that he had been chosen patriarch of the Holy City, and was consecrated in April, 1661. As early as 1666 he sought to be relieved of his duties and by 1669 Dositheos Notaras had become his successor. He remained in Jerusalem, however, except when driven by the Latin monks for a short time to Sinai. He took part in the Synod of Jerusalem in 1672. In his doctrine of the Eucharist , Nectarius was strictly orthodox, and a zealous opponent of Cyril Lucar and the Calvinism Calvinistic movement. Among the writings of Nectarius the most important is his refutation of the theses of a certain Peter regarding the papal supremacy ed. Dositheus, with a life of Nectarius, Jassy, 1682 . He is still better known by his recommendation of the Confessio orthodoxa of Peter Mogilas , 1643. A letter to the monks of Sinai is also contained in E.

  1. Telos (philosophy)

    Aristotelianism A telos from the Greek for end , purpose , or goal is an end or purpose, in a fairly constrained sense used by philosophers such as Aristotle . It is the root of the term teleology , roughly the study of purposiveness, or the study of objects with a view to their aims, purposes, or intentions. Teleology figures centrally in Aristotle s biology and in his theory of Four causes causes . It is central to nearly all philosophical theories of history, such as those of Hegel and Marx . One running debate in contemporary philosophy of biology is to what extent teleological language as in the purposes of various organs or life processes is unavoidable, or is simply a shorthand for ideas that can ultimately be spelled out nonteleologically. Philosophy of action also makes essential use of teleological vocabulary on Donald Davidson philosopher Davidson s account, an action is just something an agent does with an intention that is, looking forward to some end to be achieved by the action. In contrast to telos, techne is the rational method involved in producing an object or accomplishing a goal or objective however, the two methods are not mutually exclusive in principle.

  1. Apodicticity

    wiktionary apodictic The Works of Aristotle Apodictic or apodeictic lang grc , capable of demonstration is an adjective adjectival expression from syllogism Aristotelean logic that refers to proposition s that are demonstrable, that are necessarily or self evident self evidently the case or that, conversely, are impossible. ref http dictionary.reference.com browse apodictic Dictionary definitions of apodictic , from dictionary.com, including material from the Random House Unabridged Dictionary , Random House, Inc 2006 , The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language , Fourth Edition, Copyright 2006 by Houghton Mifflin Company, and WordNet 3.0, Princeton University 2006. ref Apodicticity or wikt apodixis apodixis is the corresponding abstract noun , referring to logical certainty. Apodictic propositions contrast with assertoric propositions, which merely assert that something is or is not the case, and with problematic propositions, which assert only the possibility of something being true. Franz Brentano writes in The True and the Evident , judgments may be either assertoric or apodictic. Assertoric judgments are judgments which are possibly true but are unproven. Apodictic judgments are judgments which are clearly provable and logically certain. For instance, Two plus two equals four is apodictic. Chicago is larger than Omaha is assertoric. A corporation could be wealthier than a country is problematic. In Aristotelianism Aristotelian logic, apodictic is opposed to dialectic , as scientific proof is opposed to probable reasoning . Kant contrasts apodictic with problematic and assertoric in the Critique of Pure Reason , page A70 B95. The expression apodictic is also sometimes applied to a style of argumentation in which a person presents his reasoning as being categorically true, even if it is not necessarily so. An example of such a usage might be Demonstrate less apodicticity You haven t considered several facets of the question. References ...   more details



  1. Pseudo-Aristotle

    Aristotelianism Pseudo Aristotle is a general Wiktionary cognomen cognomen for authors of philosophical or medical treatises who attributed their work to the Greek philosophy Greek philosopher Aristotle , or whose work was later attributed to him by others. Aristotle had produced so many works on such a variety of subjects that it was possible for writers in many different contexts notably Middle Ages medieval Europeans , North Africa ns and Arab s to write a work and ascribe it to Aristotle. Attaching his name to such a work guaranteed it a certain amount of respect and acceptance, since Aristotle was regarded as one of most authoritative ancient writers for the learned men of both Christendom Christian Europe and the Islamic Golden Age Muslim Arab lands . It is generally not clear whether the attribution to Aristotle of a later work was done by its own author or by others who sought to popularize such works by using his name. Notable Pseudo Aristotles included the 2nd century North African writer Apuleius of Madauros, the author of the Greek language Greek Cosmography cosmographic work On the Universe De Mundo , as well as the medieval Islamic science Muslim author of the Arabic geological work, De Proprietatibus Elementorum . ref Jerome B.
