This is some writings in which I found upon my journey reasearching de ja vu. I am going to read it a couple more times. Later I will pull quotes and open discussion.
Does anyone wish to add to their thoughts about the reading?

(384-322 BC)_Greek philosopher and scientist.
Son of the court physician to Alexander the Great's grandfather, he became a student of Plato in Athens and taught at Plato's Academy for 20 years. He went back to Macedonia c. 342 to tutor the young Alexander, then returned to Athens in 335 to found his own school, the Lyceum. Aristotle distinguished his philosophy from Plato's by declaring that the assumption of the existence of a separate realm of transcendent Ideas (see form) is unnecessary and that the world of perceived things is the real world. He wrote prolifically; his major surviving works include the Organon, De Anima, Physics, Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, Eudemian Ethics, Magna Moralia, Politics, Rhetoric, and Poetics, as well as other works on natural history and science (most were first edited and published in the 1stcentury BC). Aristotle divides philosophical topics into ethics, physics, and logic. To him, logic was required for the study of every other topic. He distinguished four kinds of cause-material, formal, efficient, and final-and postulated an unmoved mover (God) as a necessary element of physics. In ethics, he argued that "good" for human beings (or anything else) lies in fulfilling their purpose or function, a view that came to be known as teleology. With Plato, Aristotle is considered a founder of Western philosophy, and his influence on later Western science and philosophy has been vast.
