Aristotle (Censorship (Ready Reference series))

Author Profile

Aristotle was the most comprehensive and systematic philosopher of Western antiquity. Combining empirical observation and logical analysis, he took the natural world as a starting point to inquire into the causes of various observed phenomena. Beyond the separate sciences that he helped to create, Aristotle speculated on the existence and cause of nature itself. His writings on the nature of a supreme being and the eternity of the world later caused medieval Church authorities to suppress some of his works.
