亚里士多德英文简介

如题所述

Aristotle was born in Stageira (Greek: ∑τάγειρα) in Chalcidice. His parents were Phaestis and Nicomachus, who became physician to King Amyntas of Macedon. Aristotle was educated as a member of the aristocracy. At about the age of eighteen, he went to Athens to continue his education at Plato's Academy. Aristotle remained at the Academy for nearly twenty years, not leaving until after Plato's death in 347 BC. He then traveled with Xenocrates to the court of Hermias of Atarneus in Asia Minor. While in Asia, Aristotle traveled with Theophrastus to the island of Lesbos, where together they researched the botany and zoology of the island. Aristotle married Hermias' daughter (or niece) Pythias. She bore him a daughter, whom they named Pythias. Soon after Hermias' death, Aristotle was invited by Philip of Macedon to become tutor to Alexander the Great.

After spending several years tutoring the young Alexander, Aristotle returned to Athens. By 335 BC, he established his own school there, the Lyceum. Aristotle directed courses at the Lyceum for the next twelve years. While in Athens, his wife Pythias died. Aristotle soon became involved with Herpyllis of Stagira, who bore him a son whom he named after his father, Nicomachus.

It is during this time in Athens that Aristotle is thought to have composed many of his works. Although Aristotle wrote dialogues, only fragments of these have survived. The works that have survived are in treatise form and, for the most part, were not meant for widespread publication. These are generally thought to be lecture notes or texts used by his students. Among the most important are Physics, Metaphysics (or Ontology), Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, De Anima (On the Soul) and Poetics. These works, although connected in many fundamental ways, differ significantly in both style and substance.
一、生平简介 亚里士多德(公元前384—322)是古希腊著名的科学家和哲学家。公元前384年诞生于爱琴海北岸的斯特基拉城。 亚里士多德是马其顿王室医师的儿子,从小对自然科学特别爱好,也很钻研。父亲经常教给他一些解剖和医学的知识,他有时也帮助父亲作一些外科手术。亚里士多德17岁那年前往雅典,成为古希腊著名哲学家柏拉图(前427—前347)的大弟子,从事学习和研究长达20年之久。他好学多问,才华横溢,成绩突出,柏拉图夸他是“学院之灵”。公元前343年,亚里士多德担任了年仅13岁的王子亚历山大的宫廷教师。公元前340年亚历山大摄政,亚里士多德回到家乡。公元前335年他重返雅典,创办了一所吕克昂学院,独树一个新的哲学学派。由于这个学派的老师和学生,常常在花园里散步的时候讨论问题,当时人们就称它为逍遥学派。

公元前323年夏天,亚历山大大帝从印度回师巴比伦的途中病故。从此,亚里士多德在政治上开始不得志。他决定离开雅典,离开吕克昂学院回到母亲的故地过隐居生活。公元前322年因病逝世,葬在卡尔基,终年62岁。

二、科学成就

1.亚里士多德是希腊古典文化的集大成者,恩格斯称他是最博学的人。他的著作是古代的百科全书,据说有四百到一千部,主要有《工具论》、《形而上学》、《物理学》、《伦理学》、《政治学》、《诗学》等。与物理学关系较多的有:《物理学》(8卷,有中译本,张竹明译,商务印书馆,北京,1982)、《天论》(4卷)、《起源与衰灭》(2卷)、《气象学》(4卷)。另有一本《力学问题》为后人伪作。

2.在物理学方面,亚里士多德最重要的贡献是创造了这门学科的名称,“物理”一词的现代拉丁文“Physica”,是他从希腊字φνσιζ(自然)一词推演而来的。此外,他对地球的大小作出了在当时条件下比较合理的估计。

3.亚里士多德运用科学的方法,对奇妙的生物世界进行了大量调查。他带领助手周游各地,搜集标本,分门别类,并且尽可能了解同动物和植物有关的各种知识。他是一位当之无愧的伟大生物学家。他一生最有价值的科学贡献,也正是在动物学和解剖学方面。他对五百多种不同的动植物进行了分类,解剖过几十种动物,正确地指出了鲸鱼是胎生的,描述了反刍动物的胃、鸡胎的发育、头足纲动物的再生现象等。

4.此外,亚里士多德还对虹、视觉、管长与乐音的关系等物理现象作过一些初步的观察和解释,他还从月食和星座的变迁推证了地球是圆形等。

Born at Stagira in northern Greece, Aristotle was the most notable product of the educational program devised by Plato; he spent twenty years of his life studying at the Academy. When Plato died, Aristotle returned to his native Macedonia, where he is supposed to have participated in the education of Philip's son, Alexander (the Great). He came back to Athens with Alexander's approval in 335 and established his own school at the Lyceum, spending most of the rest of his life engaged there in research, teaching, and writing. His students acquired the name "peripatetics" from the master's habit of strolling about as he taught. Although the surviving works of Aristotle probably represent only a fragment of the whole, they include his investigations of an amazing range of subjects, from logic, philosophy, and ethics to physics, biology, psychology, politics, and rhetoric. Aristotle appears to have thought through his views as he wrote, returning to significant issues at different stages of his own development. The result is less a consistent system of thought than a complex record of Aristotle's thinking about many significant issues.

The aim of Aristotle's logical treatises (known collectively as the Organon) was to develop a universal method of reasoning by means of which it would be possible to learn everything there is to know about reality. Thus, the Categories proposes a scheme for the description of particular things in terms of their properties, states, and activities. On Interpretation, Prior Analytics, and Posterior Analytics examine the nature of deductive inference, outlining the system of syllogistic reasoning from true propositions that later came to be known as categorical logic. Though not strictly one of the logical works, the Physics contributes to the universal method by distinguishing among the four causes which may be used to explain everything, with special concern for why things are the way they are and the apparent role of chance in the operation of the world. In other treatises, Aristotle applied this method, with its characteristic emphasis on teleological explanation, to astronomical and biological explorations of the natural world

In Metafusikh (Metaphysics) Aristotle tried to justify the entire enterprise by grounding it all in an abstract study of being qua being. Although Aristotle rejected the Platonic theory of forms, he defended his own vision of ultimate reality, including the eternal existence of substance. On The Soul uses the notion of a hylomorphic composite to provide a detailed account of the functions exhibited by living things—vegetable, animal, and human—and explains the use of sensation and reason to achieve genuine knowledge. That Aristotle was interested in more than a strictly scientific exploration of human nature is evident from the discussion of literary art (particularly tragedy) in Peri PoihtikhV (Poetics) and the methods of persuasion in the ‘RhtoreiaV (Rhetoric).

Aristotle made several efforts to explain how moral conduct contributes to the good life for human agents, including the Eqikh EudaimonhV (Eudemian Ethics) and the Magna Moralia, but the most complete surviving statement of his views on morality occurs in the Eqikh Nikomacoi (Nicomachean Ethics). There he considered the natural desire to achieve happiness, described the operation of human volition and moral deliberation, developed a theory of each virtue as the mean between vicious extremes, discussed the value of three kinds of friendship, and defended his conception of an ideal life of intellectual pursuit.

But on Aristotle's view, the lives of individual human beings are invariably linked together in a social context. In the Peri PoliV (Politics) he speculated about the origins of the state, described and assessed the relative merits of various types of government, and listed the obligations of the individual citizen. He may also have been the author of a model PoliteiaV Aqhnawn (Constitution of Athens), in which the abstract notion of constitutional government is applied to the concrete life of a particular society.

These works, although connected in many fundamental ways, differ significantly in both style and substance.

Aristotle not only studied almost every subject possible at the time, but made significant contributions to most of them. In science, Aristotle studied anatomy, astronomy, economics, embryology, geography, geology, meteorology, physics, and zoology. In philosophy, Aristotle wrote on aesthetics, ethics, government, metaphysics, politics, psychology, rhetoric and theology. He also dealt with education, foreign customs, literature and poetry. His combined works practically constitute an encyclopedia of Greek knowledge. It has been remarked that Aristotle was likely the last person to know everything there was to be known in his own time.[1]

Upon Alexander's death in 323 BC, anti-Macedonian feelings in Athens once again flared. Eurymedon the hierophant denounced Aristotle, claiming he did not hold the gods in honor. Aristotle fled the city to his mother's family estate in Chalcis, explaining, "I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy."[2] However, he died there of natural causes within the year. Aristotle left a will, which has been preserved, in which he asked to be buried next to his wife.
