Give me one good reason to read Aristotle if I'm not interested in Politics.
Colton Garcia
So you can criticize him better.
Xavier Cruz
Explain how "forms" is correct.
Nathan Parker
Poetics
Elijah Hughes
>rejected Plato's most profound and correct idea (Forms) laughable
Ryan Perez
So you can be educated in the foundational texts of Western culture. Not reading Aristotle because you don't agree with him is like not reading the Bible because you don't believe in God.
Justin Wright
>Not reading Aristotle because you don't agree with him is like not reading the Bible because you don't believe in God.
That's pretty ironic, because that's exactly what Christians did to the pagans
Chase Jenkins
How about his literary criticism? What do you think about Poetics?
Jeremiah Ross
>no writing skill whatsoever How would you judge that when all we have are the incomplete notes of his lectures?

His ethics are IMO the most lucid thing he wrote, and they are the basis of one of the most relevant branch of contemporary ethics.
Carter Roberts
Another chicken shit troll post where the OP never answers.
Fuck nu-lit
Cooper Carter
Word, his poetics are great, which is funny when you compare it to the dogshit Plato wrote.
Jayden Lewis
t. someone who has never read Aristotle

he was 100% correct about women though

Nice reading comprehension.

Mason Hall

It just seems that way because all we have are his lecture notes. By other accounts, his writing was called "golden", iirc.

Diogenes destroyed the forms argument. Also:

Country? I used to debate (I know, I was a teen) religion with a neo-paganist wiccan who was most definitely on the spectrum.

He destroyed the argument.
In fact, he destroyed Plato constantly. The amount of asshurt he caused Plato is legendary.
Mason Jones
>wrong about all of his natural science
You know the idea that new evidence should supersede existing theories, that have allowed for the development and refinement of theories in science over time? That's his idea.
Xavier Clark
I kept saying the top 100 chart was a mistake. Last year it lead to a deluge of plebbiters and Veeky Forums was gay for months. It's the same fucking shit all over again.

>Plato was discoursing on his theory of ideas and, pointing to the cups on the table before him, said while there are many cups in the world, there is only one `idea’ of a cup, and this cupness precedes the existence of all particular cups. “I can see the cups on the table,” said Diogenes, “but I can’t see the `cupness'”. “That’s because you have the eyes to see the cup,” said Plato, “but”, tapping his head with his forefinger, “you don’t have the intellect with which to comprehend `cupness’.” Diogenes walked up to the table, examined a cup and, looking inside, asked, “Is it empty?” Plato nodded. “Where is the `emptiness’ which precedes this empty cup?” asked Diogenes. Plato allowed himself a few moments to collect his thoughts, but Diogenes reached over and, tapping Plato’s head with his finger, said “I think you will find here is the `emptiness’.
I'll think you'll find that he was BTFO.

>dude what if the world is made of ATOMS lmao A non-entity.
Austin Ramirez
You're thinking of Democritus. Epicurus solved ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics making him a very important figure in the history of philosophy.
It's a shame so little of his work survived, or we would be living in a far superior civilization.
Still, you can get a lot of good from his letters and from Lucretius.
Isaiah Cruz

>It's a shame so little of his work survived, or we would be living in a far superior civilization. Let me tell you about a little thing called historical materialism.
Ethan Lopez
Not only did he advance the Presocratic Atomists theories, he fine tuned the Hedonists folly He got the world right and he got the best way to live right, while the others kept screwing up.

Also, he made legitimate contributions to zoology.
James Cox
Aristotelian Logic is still relevant nowadays.
Angel Reed
Because his ideas were and still are important for ethics, metaphysics, logic, and the philosophy of science.
Owen Davis
>wrong about all of his natural science Wasn't the concept of inertia part of his natural science theory?
Julian Hughes

Oh man, forms = totally destroyed!!
>Diogenesfags actually believe this and believe that Diogenes himself would have actually believed this Go take a dump in a theatre or something, that way you'll be less annoying.
Jordan Roberts
>Wrong on natural science
Let's see, on metaphysics alone he said colors aren't a thing in themselves, also that they all come from the white; he anticipated the law of mass conservation; he said the first element was between fire and air (hydrogen); gave a simple explanation of the three dimensions; that all movement in space was circular and perpetual; he also said time only exists in relation with movement.

So you can be privy of Aristotelianism and dupe those who aren't.
Isaiah Thompson
not sure how you could know he has no writing skill if you've never read him :^)
