	Ideas from Anaxagoras to Aristotle
		Aristotle applied his Golden Mean to economic and social order and to the relationship between the state and the individual, but he could not, of course, apply it to those matters that had no median, such as choosing between honoring and ignoring one's contracts, between commitment and being uncommitted, or between loyalty and disloyalty.
		Aristotle saw that humans were social creatures, that social participation was inescapable, that no one was immune from the rules of a community, in other words that no citizen belonged just to himself, that every civilized person was a member of the state.
		Aristotle saw politics as the manner in which people govern their relations with each other and that people were, therefore, not just social creatures but also political creatures.

	Aristotle -- Politics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Aristotle adds that young men will usually act on the basis of their emotions, rather than according to reason, and since acting on practical knowledge requires the use of reason, young men are unequipped to study politics for this reason too.
		Aristotle has already told us that if the regime is going to endure it must educate all the citizens in such a way that they support the kind of regime that it is and the principles that legitimate it.
		Aristotle advises minimizing the number of trials and length of service on juries so that the cost will not be too much of a burden on the wealthy where there are not sources of revenue from outside the city (Athens, for example, received revenue from nearby silver mines, worked by slaves).

		Aristotle also held that heavier bodies of a given material fall faster than lighter ones when their shapes are the same; this mistaken view was accepted as fact until Galileo proved otherwise.
		Aristotle's doctrine is a synthesis of the earlier notion that the soul does not exist apart from the body and of the Platonic notion of a soul as a separate, nonphysical entity.

		Though Aristotle's work in zoology was not without errors, it was the grandest biological synthesis of the time, and remained the ultimate authority for many centuries after his death.
		Where Aristotle differed most sharply from medieval and modern thinkers was in his belief that the universe had never had a beginning and would never end; it was eternal.

	Frans De Haas (ed.), Jaap Mansfeld (ed.) - Aristotle: On Generation and Corruption, Book I, Symposium Aristotelicum - ...
		In the second book of GC Aristotle discusses qualitative aspects of the simple bodies, treating each of them as involving "a certain matter which is not separate but always with a contrariety" (329a24-26) and a pair of contraries, one from the pair wet and dry, the other from the pair hot and cold.
		Aristotle never says or implies in 1.10 -- nor should he -- that in mixtures of the simple bodies, "the ingredients come to be altered in their perceptible properties (while somehow retaining their identities as distinct ingredients)" (321; my italics).
		All Aristotle is committed to in 1.10 is that when a homoiomery is dissolved the simple bodies can emerge in the same amounts as when they started to mix; he does not say, and, I think, should not say, that the identical simple bodies can be recovered.

	Greek Philosophy: Aristotle
		Aristotle resolved the question by categorizing knowledge based on their objects and the relative certainty with which you could know those objects.
		Aristotle was the first major thinker to base his thought and science entirely on the idea that everything that moves or changes is caused to move or change by some other thing.
		Aristotle called judging actions in this manner, "equity," and equity is the foundation of modern law and justice, and is absolutely critical in understanding foundational Christianity and its later permutations, such as the Protestant Reformation.

		Aristotle’s ideas on water vapor and precipitation were somewhat accurate, considering that there were no tools to measure the atmosphere in his time.
		September 5, 2000 Aristotle on Meteorology Aristotle was born in 384 BC, at Stagirus, a Greek colony on the Aegean Sea near Macedonia.
		Aristotle is very close to a scientific answer when he deduced “that what immediately surrounds the earth is not mere air, but a sort of vapour, and that its vaporous nature is the reason why it condenses back to water again” (Aristotle, “Meteorology” 253).

		In particular, it is argued that Aristotle would not have -- indeed, specifically did not -- support the claim, central to functionalism, that the mind can, in principle, be transported from one body to another simply by instantiating in the new body some set of organizational properties that were instantiated in the old.
		The principles of demonstrative proof as described and assessed by Aristotle, are first introduced, displaying a latitude in the demonstrative methodology open to mathematicians, with modes of proof ranging from the compelling to the plausible only.

	Aristotle - Meteorology
		the main interest of the work (Aristotle's Meteorologica) is to be found not so much in any particular conclusions which Aristotle reaches, as in the fact that all his conclusions are so far wrong and in his lack of a method which could lead him to right ones.
		It is this absence of the awareness for the necessity of an experimental test that is the mark of thought that is rational but not yet scientific, of the natural philosopher rather than the natural scientist.
		And of Aristotle's natural philosophy and of Greek natural philosophy in general it is true that it "roamed rational without being scientific, that it never passed from natural philosophy to nature science.

		In Book 10 of the first of these, Aristotle refers to his arguments in his Physics to the effect that motions are the causes of what comes to be (i.e., is generated), rather than the reverse.
		Aristotle is referring here to the apparent back and forth motion, from a terrestrial viewpoint, of our Sun along an inclined path in the sky, the ecliptic, the center line (so to speak) of the zodiac, taken by Aristotle to be a circular path.
		Aristotle summarized what are essentially Aristotle's views on generation and corruption, adding the extra factor of a receptivity to planetary influences on the part of terrestrial things [i.e., not counting the Sun and Moon].

		An account of what Arabic scholars have written, either as commentators or as more independent authors, on the subjects treated in Aristotle's Meteorology, this work investigates how they were influenced by one another and by previous Greek commentators.
		For each subject a survey is given of the content of the Greek commentaries (by Alexander, Philoponus and Olympiodorus) as well as of a later treatise, ascribed to Olympiodorus and extant only in Arabic.
		Then, the Arabic version of Ibn al-Bitrīq is investigated; it was one of the sources used by the Arabic writers which are discussed after that: al-Kindī, Ibn Sīnā and later scholars who were inspired by him, Ibn Bājja and Ibn Rušd.

	meteorology. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Although most of the discussion is inaccurate in the light of modern understanding, Aristotle’s work was respected as the authority in meteorology for some 2,000 years.
		As speculation gave way to experimentation following the scientific revolution, advances in the physical sciences made contributions to meteorology, most notably through the invention of instruments for measuring atmospheric conditions, e.g., Leonardo da Vinci’s wind vane (1500), Galileo’s thermometer (c.1593), and Torricelli’s mercury barometer (1643).
		In addition to a host of universities conducting meteorological research, there is the National Center for Atmospheric Research, which is operated by an affiliation of universities and sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

		When you hear the word meteorology, you usually think of weather, the sky, the atmosphere.
		The term "meteorology" has been around for a pretty long time, since 340 B.C. That's when Aristotle wrote a book called "Meteorologica." It was in this book that Aristotle presented the philosophical knowledge of the atmosphere at the time and included such topics as clouds, wind, lightning, snow and climate change.
		So many of Aristotle's explanations of the natural world, such as everything is made up of earth, air, fire, and water, were reasonable guesses at the time, they later were disproved.

	Meteorology by Aristotle
		WE have already discussed the first causes of nature, and all natural motion, also the stars ordered in the motion of the heavens, and the physical element-enumerating and specifying them and showing how they change into one another-and becoming and perishing in general.
		There remains for consideration a part of this inquiry which all our predecessors called meteorology.
		It is concerned with events that are natural, though their order is less perfect than that of the first of the elements of bodies.
