  Aristotle's Psychology (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Aristotle argues with some justification that all change and generation require the existence of something complex: when a statue comes to be from a lump of bronze, there is some continuing subject, the bronze, and something it comes to acquire, its new form.
So Aristotle contends: “It is not necessary to ask whether soul and body are one, just as it is not necessary to ask whether the wax and its shape are one, nor generally whether the matter of each thing and that of which it is the matter are one.
Aristotle does not here eschew questions concerning the unity of soul and body as meaningless; rather, he seems, in a deflationary vein, to suggest that they are readily answered or somehow unimportant.

 20th WCP: Ethics and Community in Aristotle
Topics for constructing arguments for and against something, or for the choice of an action, constitute the generally accepted opinions (endoxa) for these are truly common to all in that everyone must know them to define something and hence conduct a discussion with others.
Aristotle continues by saying that one should direct one's argument or discussion to showing that something is good, for this is what determines the choice of action.
From this, Aristotle concludes that when a thing's exercise is its function, this exercise is better than the state (even though he does not explain here, this is because the second kind of function is the end, and the end is the best since everything is chosen for its sake).

  Aristotle's Logic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Aristotle rejects circular demonstration as an incoherent notion on the grounds that the premises of any demonstration must be prior (in an appropriate sense) to the conclusion, whereas a circular demonstration would make the same premises both prior and posterior to one another (and indeed every premise prior and posterior to itself).
Aristotle stresses that, as in all arts, the dialectician must study, not what is acceptable to this or that specific person, but what is acceptable to this or that type of person, just as the doctor studies what is healthful for different types of person: "art is of the universal".
Aristotle says that rhetoric, i.e., the study of persuasive speech, is a "counterpart" (antistrophos) of dialectic and that the rhetorical art is a kind of "outgrowth" (paraphues ti) of dialectic and the study of character types.

 Aristotle's Metaphysics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Aristotle's description ‘the study of being qua being’ is frequently and easily misunderstood, for it seems to suggest that there is a single (albeit special) subject matter — being qua being — that is under investigation.
Aristotle proposes a solution that applies to definitions reached by the “method of division.” According to this method (see Aristotle's logic), one begins with the broadest genus containing the species to be defined, and divides the genus into two sub-genera by means of some differentia.
The answer Aristotle proposes is that the cause of being of a substance (e.g., of a house) is the form or essence that is predicated of the matter (e.g., of the bricks and stones) that constitute that substance.
