亚里士多德

亚里士多德

亞里士多德(希臘語:ΑριστοτέληςAristotélēs,前384年6月19日—前322年3月7日),古希腊哲学家,柏拉圖的學生、亚历山大大帝的老師。他及他的學派劃分了後世西方許多學科,包括了物理學、形而上學、詩歌(包括戲劇)、音乐、生物學、經濟學、動物學、邏輯學、政治、政府、以及倫理學。和柏拉圖、蘇格拉底(柏拉圖的老師)一起被譽為西方哲學的奠基者。亞里士多德的著作是西方哲學的第一個廣泛系統,包含道德、美學、邏輯和科學、政治和形而上学。

亞里士多德关于物理學的思想深刻地塑造了中世紀的學術思想,其影響力延伸到了文藝復興時期,最終被牛頓物理學取代。在動物科學方面,他的一些意見仅在19世纪被确信是準確的。他的学术领域还包括早期关于形式逻辑理论的研究,最终这些研究在19世纪被合并到了现代形式逻辑理论裡。在形而上學方面,亞里士多德的哲學和神學思想在伊斯蘭教和猶太教的傳統上產生了深遠影響,在中世紀,它繼續影響着基督教神學,尤其是天主教教會的學術傳統。他的倫理學,虽然自始至终都具有深刻的影响,后来也随着新兴現代美德倫理的到来获得了新生。今天亞里士多德的哲學仍然活躍在學術研究的各个方面。在經濟學方面,亞里士多德對於經濟活動的分類與看法持續影響到中世紀與重農主義,直到被亞當斯密的古典經濟學派取代為止。雖然亞里士多德寫了許多論文和優雅的對話(西塞羅描述他的文學風格為“金河”),但是大多數人認為他的著作现已失散,只有大約三分之一的原创作品保存了下來。

Herpyllis

Herpyllis of Stagira (Greek: Ἑρπυλλίς) was Aristotle's companion and lover after his wife, Pythias, died. It is unclear whether she was a free woman (as it appears in the surviving Greek version of Aristotle's will) or a servant (as in the Arabic version).

Together Aristotle and Herpyllis had a son, named Nicomachus after Aristotle's father. Nicomachus was quite young when Aristotle wrote his will, as can be seen from the fact that Nicanor, Aristotle's nephew by his sister Arimneste, was appointed guardian until Nicomachus came of age.

It is possible that Herpyllis may have been Aristotle's wife, as Eusebius states that they were married. In his will, Aristotle ensured that Herpyllis was provided for, in return for her goodness to him. These provisions stated that if she wished to be married, the trustees of his estate should ensure that she was married to a worthy man. If, however, she did not wish to marry, the will granted her residence in his house in Stagira, and ordered that it be furnished according to her wishes. Additionally, he left her a bequest of money.
