Question

the paper is due tommorrow and i know a few things that set him apart but i need some type of idea that ties it all together ...thanks

Answer 1

Aristotle was not just a radical thinker he was a genius. The reason why he became a radical together with other great philosophers is due to their innoncence of everything around them. Aristotle along with other philosophers tried to explain everything around them, which makes sense to everyone else, how and why they are there.

He theorized that there was a presence of some entity which governs the universe and defies physics. He contradicted that God was the reason for everything to have been created and explained that our planet was round and never flat.

Aristotle explained the environment around him to convince everyone how it got and more importantly our role in this universe.

Answer 2

i dont see him as a radical thinker at all.

I see him as a man that saw life in its simplest form.

without all of the outside elements clouding his views.

such as religion and politics.

Yet he was able to apply all manners of knowlage into one simple form .

He tried well to give his views life .

but due to the narrow views of others he was marked off as a nut job till after he died.

funny isnt it .

best fame comes after you die  .
