    Aristotle

    Aristotle made pioneering contributions to all fields of philosophy


    and science, he invented the field of formal logic, and he identified
    the various scientific disciplines and explored their relationships to
    each other. Aristotle was also a very famous teacher and founded
    his own school in Athens, known as the Lyceum.
    Aristotle was a towering figure in ancient Greek philosophy, who
    made important contributions to logic, criticism, rhetoric, physics,
    biology, psychology, mathematics, metaphysics, ethics, and politics.
    He was a student of Plato for twenty years but is famous
    for rejecting Plato's theory of forms.
    In his metaphysics, he claims that there must be a separate and
    unchanging being that is the source of all other beings. In his
    ethics, he holds that it is only by becoming excellent that one could
    achieve eudaimonia, a sort of happiness or blessedness that
    constitutes the best kind of human life.
    Thales
    • Thales proposed theories to explain many of the events
    of nature, the primary substance and the support of the
    earth, and the cause of change. Thales was much
    involved in the problems of astronomy and provided a
    number of explanations of cosmological events which
    traditionally involved supernatural entities.
    • From these five statements we can identify four basic
    tenets of Thales' world view: (1) The world derives from
    water (2) The world rests on water (3) The world is full
    of gods (4) Soul produces motion.

    philosophy.
    Zeno
    • In the fifth century B.C.E., Zeno offered arguments that led to
    conclusions contradicting what we all know from our physical
    experience—that runners run, that arrows fly, and that there are
    many different things in the world. The arguments were
    paradoxes for the ancient Greek philosophers. Because many of
    the arguments turn crucially on the notion that space and time
    are infinitely divisible, Zeno was the first person to show that the
    concept of infinity is problematical.
    • In the Achilles Paradox, Achilles races to catch a slower runner—
    for example, a tortoise that is crawling in a line away from him.
    The tortoise has a head start, so if Achilles hopes to overtake it, he
    must run at least as far as the place where the tortoise presently
    is, but by the time he arrives there, it will have crawled to a new
    place, so then Achilles must run at least to this new place, but the
    tortoise meanwhile will have crawled on, and so forth.
