/lit/ - Literature

Don't even bother with his shit unless you want to intellectually flex. He's really dry and repetitive, so you should probably stick with second hand sources on his philosophy.

The worst part of reading Aristotle is his logic.

>>15712418
Just read the poetics and ethics at least, they’re short and his autism doesn’t act up too much in those. From there you can go more into his actual philosophy if you want

>>15712570
The Organon, Physics, and Metaphysics are his key works -- the foundation for Western philosophy and science for millennia.

>>15712418
Start with Politics.

>>15712610
Actually Christianity was but keep trying bub

>>15712570
It took me a month to read the Organon, mostly because of Prior Analytics

>>15713760
Lmao you mean those "we'll kill anyone who proves anything that goes against the Bible"?

Literally never happened. Read something for once in your life.

are you going to flip the persecution complex switch now, you fucking subhuman?

>muh ancestors! Tor stronk

>>15713958
Crusades, Inquisition, Witch trials and others.

>>15713985
Irrelevant. Christianity is not to actual academia what Socrates and Aristotle are.

>>15713990

You have to be kidding.

you slimy worm. quintessential christcuck

>>15714025
I never said that Islam is any better than Christianity, they're even more disgusting, but that doesn't change the fact that Crusades lead to killing in the name of Christianity. Are you completely ignoring other Christian murders?

>>15712418
Read it slowly, Aristotle is genius tier

>>15714061
He is named The Philosopher for a reason. It's just a coincidence that he was wrong about almost every single thing he said. Still, I'd be retarded to ignore his influence.

>>15714068
>wrong
How do, and about what?

>>15714057
>I never said that Islam is any better than Christianity, they're even more disgusting, but that doesn't change the fact that Crusades lead to killing in the name of Christianity.
The crusades were a long overdue response to Muslim invasion of huge swathes of Christian land over hundreds of years. Those places begged the pope to defend them and didn't get get any defense for a very long time. The crusades barely made a dent compared to what Christendom had lost.
Islam spent 1400 years hacking and slashing it's way around the mediterranean, completely conquering Spain for 250+ years, until El Cid spearheaded the renconquista.
Spain was known as Al Andalus, a piece of the Umayyid caliphate.
Cicily, a major island of Italy, was also a territory of a caliphate. As you can see, Muslims also attempted to push into France and much of Eastern Europe. Some areas of the middle east we take for granted as Muslim are in fact Christian regions that were invaded.
>Are you completely ignoring other Christian murders?
Yes? I literally made a post specifically about only the crusades. Look.
>>15714025
>Crusades

Are you attempting to ignore the fact that Christianity stopped Islam from completely ruining Europe forever?

>>15714078
A lot of biological differences between men and women, Earth being the center of the universe and everything being eternal, the heavenly spheres and necessary circular movement, reason why some things fall while others rise (go towards aether (if that's what it's called in English))...
His logic is pretty solid, nobody can deny that.

>>15714141
What are you even on this board and shitting up this Aristotle thread for? Read ACTUAL books or get the fuck out. Go shill your stupid fucking religion somewhere else.

>>15714141
see this >>15714056
the discussion wasnt about the ebil muzlims against the righteous christians, you fucking subversive nigger. either post about the thread's topic or gtfo

>>15714164
If you do not read philosophy books then you do not post in the philosophy threads - period. I would shoot this christian idiot for his transgression. In cold blood, I would blow his head off for it.

>>15714177
alright, ahmed, cool it down.

>>15714183
Tell me what you have read of Aristotle. Right now, TELL ME.

>>15713760
>Actually Christianity was but keep trying bub

>>15713985
You can't really believe that Christianity is more important to western civilization unless your retarded or ignorant

>>15714056
>>conveniently leaves out how christianity was spread to eastern, central and northern Europe
Roman Empire adopted Christianity in 300AD by the order of Emperor Constantine.
When the Roman Empire fell the eastern half lived on as the Byzantine Empire for like 1000 more years, basically a continuation of Rome. Within 50 years the Byzantines had Rome under their control and some of the central parts of the old empire. The influence of Rome and Byzantium spread Christianity even further, and some Russians have ancient Greek and Roman names to this day.
Emperor Justinian made Constantiople (Now Istanbul in Turkey) the new seat of the empire
>Fall of Constantinople, (May 29, 1453), conquest of Constantinople by Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire
Whoops

>>15714217
Right, all those people in the west and east just accepted Yeshua as their lord and savior when they heard of him, there was definitely no persecution or conquests. only peace and love, Shalom!

Imagine pretending a single philospher was more influential on all of Western civilsation than the entirety of Christianty.
The combined influence of the entire Roman empire, the Byzantine empire, the power the Vatican (Rome) wielded over kings in medieval times, all this pales in comparison to Aristotle? A philospher who was unknown for the majority of the last 2000 years?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_of_Aristotle
>The Recovery of Aristotle spanned about 100 years, from the middle 12th century into the 13th century, and copied or translated over 42 books (see: Corpus Aristotelicum), including Arabic texts from Arabic authors, where the previous Latin versions had only two books in general circulation

The Roman eagle is still visible everywhere in present day politcal imagery and flags from the USA to Russia. This is what spread Christianty.
Northern European flags feature the Christian cross, Englands flag, it's Kingdom Union flag, Sweden, Norway, Denamark, and Finland. The pillars of Rome still stand fools.

"Now the young are by character appetitive and of a kind to do whatever they desire. And of the bodily appetites they are especially attentive to that connected with sex and have no control over it, and they are irate and hot-tempered and of a kind to harken to anger; for through their ambition they do not tolerate disregard but are vexed if they think they are being wronged"
"The old, those past their prime, for having lived for many years and been frequently deceived or in error, they do not have confidence in anything. They are pessimistic because of their experiences, and they live in memory rather than in hope." Art of Rhetoric

When it comes to human nature Aristotle nailed it.
