Aristotle - A Wonderful Philospher.

 

Aristotle is known is one of the best ancient Greek philosopher of all times. No deed he is a very incredible Philosopher. Aristotle is one of those great personalities whose name will remain alive in the world forever. We, who dwell in the realm of knowledge, are fascinated by profound discussions. Today, once again, we delve into the world of knowledge, and the mention of the emperor of the world of knowledge.

. He was born in Greece, where his father served as the royal physician. In his childhood, under his father's influence, he received education in medicine. In his youth, he had the honor of becoming a disciple of Plato. Plato was greatly impressed by Aristotle's intelligence. In those times, there were no printing presses, and one wonders how books were written. But Aristotle managed to compile many books. The tales of his astonishing intelligence spread far and wide, with discussions reaching up to four hundred.

The king conferred upon him the title for his son. As the son progressed, he became famous as Alexander the Great, showing great respect for his teacher.

At the age of fifty, Aristotle established a school where students were taught various sciences. The school was named 'Lyceum.' In this school, research was conducted in the fields of science and biology. Unfortunately, a dark period began when Alexander the Great passed away in his youth, and rebellions ensued. Aristotle left Athens and died a year later. This year was 322 BC.

Aristotle was a fountain of knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom continued to blossom from his mouth at all times. Although much of Aristotle's discourse has been preserved, it has also been lost. Even after two thousand years, people still benefit from Aristotle's writings. He was the leader of his art.

Interestingly, Aristotle's treatise on biology became known to the world of science 1800 years after his death when it was translated from Arabic to Latin. A few years later, the Greek text was also published. At that time, in India, Emperor Babar was attempting to establish his rule. In "Botany," Aristotle devoted his thoughts to the art of poetry and literary criticism. He presented the passport for poetry and explained what criticism is and what it is not. Scientific discussions are not only beneficial but essential for the mental health of a society and contribute to its catharsis.

The source of knowledge, Aristotle, Express grievances in easy language. Dramas illuminate the significance of tragedy. The purpose of tragedy is the purification of the soul. Emotions of fear and pity transform into hope and courage... After hundreds of years, some of the best tragedies in the world have been written. Who can forget Shakespeare's tragedies, "Hamlet" and "Macbeth"? Some scholars believe that "Botany" has not reached us in its entirety. Aristotle addressed art, nature, poetry, and tragedy in his treatises.

According to Aristotle, art provides not only an expression of external realities but also an expression of the inner universe of humanity. The work of an artist is to explore the distorted forms within those distorted shapes, to find the realities and forces that are the cause of existence and bring them into motion. The poet also has the same job as the philosopher; he expresses things that could have been, incorporating them into his imagination. Poetry and philosophy both lead to different paths to reach the same external reality.

Concerning the plot, Aristotle says that it should be a manifestation of complete unity. The arrangement of its various parts should be such that if one part is removed or replaced, the effect of unity should be lost. This applies to the story's best form, whether it is a novel or a short story. The order of the tragedy's plot should be such that it can evoke fear and terror in the audience even when heard and not just seen. Aristotle established principles that laid the foundation for classical criticism in the West.

The purpose of tragedy is the purification of the soul, but for this artistic effect to reach its audience, there must be balance in its scenes, characters, style, rhythm, and the quality of the spectacle. It should be harmonious, with unity of effect, correlation, and consistency. Aristotle's principles had a profound impact on classical literature and poetry in the West, but Urdu poetry remained deprived of its grace. The perfection of "Botany" is that its themes are still fresh today. Our minds have not surpassed Aristotle's thinking even after all these years.
