1559 Aristotle on Motion. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher, but many of his scientific beliefs have been proven to be incorrect. One example is the fact that Aristotle believed that the earth was the center of the universe. Regarding Aristotle's views on the idea of motion, he was in conflict with another Greek thinker named Zeno who had attempted to analyze the motion of an object as a series of "still frames." Aristotle did not believe that motion could not occur this way. This paper delves into Newtonian science and quantum physics and tries to understand Aristotle as a philosopher. 5 pgs. 10 f/c. 4b.

This essay will outline Aristotle's views on the subject, and offer a critique emphasising the way in which Aristotle's definition of the human function neglects to value non-intellectual modes of life. 5 pgs. 9 f/c. 4b.

2073 Aristotle and Personality. This paper discusses that Aristotle is talking about the concept of self-sufficiency.

2382 The Function of Aristotle's "Good Man" and "Good Citizen" in his Ideal Polis. This paper will approach Aristotle's "good man" in terms of both Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics and his Politics. It will be argued that the "good man's" relationship with the ideal polis can only be understood in terms of the ethical and political distinction Aristotle draws between the "good man" and the "good citizen". While in the ideal polis the two are identical, in the real world they are separate more often than not. From this perspective, the "good man" may be seen to vindicate the ideal polis in that the perfection of the state is dependent upon all its component units being good. 11 pgs. 20 f/c. 6b.

4132 A Discussion of how the "overgrasping for external goods. . . undermines political community" with Respect to Aristotle's Views on Virtue and Justice. This paper will argue, Aristotle's ethical and political theory regards justice and communal good as extensions of individual virtue. In this context, the individual "overgrasping for external goods" is not only unhealthy for the individual, but also represents a threat to the basis of the political community. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
