==============================

Aristotle was a philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, the founder of the Lyceum and the Peripatetic school of philosophy and Aristotelian tradition. Along with his teacher Plato, he is considered the "Father of Western Philosophy".

In previous videos we talked about how Socrates was trying awaken his fellow Athenian citizens to a more meaningful way of life. We talked about his student Plato, and how he wrote his dialogues in attempts to help us internalize Socrates wisdom and help us to transcend our foolish and self-destructive behavior. Plato was trying to help us organize our psyche so we could gain inner peace and a gain a deeper connection to what is real. And what we can take from this is the knowledge that there is an intimate connection between how we know ourselves and how we know the world.

Plato had a student to carry on his work....and that was Aristotle. Aristotle keeps this idea of seeing into things more clearly....and he transforms it... While Plato was pointing up and looking at a world which existed outside and independently of our own... often called the "true" world of pure forms...Aristotle is pointing down. He is more focused on this world and trying to make true statements about the fundamental causes of things.

So this is what Buddha and Hindu gods described ? The arts and pictures showing universe in the human body were implying the "organisation" of all living beings and even the universe it self is the same ?

The seven deadly sins reflect more on life then you think.

Dude, you had better list Dr. John Vervaeke, and his series titled Awakening from the Meaning Crisis. Otherwise, it's plagiarism. Do it phukken soon, otherwise it's YouTube jail for you, pal.
