ARISTOTELES' WORDS OF WISDOM THAT MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE LIFE

Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher who was the teacher of Alexander the Great. He became a student of Plato while in Athens. Aristotle studied from Plato for 20 years. During his life, he wrote about philosophy and other sciences, namely glasses, politics, ethics, biology and psychology. Aristotle divides philosophy into four issues, namely logic, glasses, metaphysics and practical knowledge. Analysis of philosophy is done using a syllogism. Aristotle's thoughts regarding logic which utilize the deductive method are used as the basis for formal logic. Aristotle also believed that the existence of science was intended to support human life. Aristotle argued that the method of discovering new knowledge and truth is divided into two. First, the inductive method and the second is the deductive method. The inductive method aims to conclude specific things into a general conclusion. Meanwhile, the deductive method only concludes the truth of two things that are certain and unquestionable. The nature of the deductive method is to conclude from something that is general to be specific. The condition of a proposition can be seen through analysis or dialectics. Analytics is used in research that uses propositions that are believed to be true for argumentation. While dialectics is used in research that uses propositions that are doubtful for argumentation. Analysis and dialectics form the basis of logic with the core of it being the syllogism. The role of the syllogism is to be a reasoning mechanism for the correct premises to produce the correct conclusion. The syllogism becomes a formal form of deductive reasoning. Aristotle became this deductive method as the best method in obtaining new knowledge and truths based on conclusions. This method is known as the deductive syllogistic method. Aristotle made rhetoric an independent science with the same position as other sciences. According to Aristotle, rhetoric is not just empty words, but effective and ethical speech in conveying the truth. Aristotle argued that rhetoric cannot be used as part of other sciences. Instead, he argues that other sciences require rhetoric to provide a description of their findings. Aristotle's rhetorical teachings are known as traditional rhetoric by rhetoricians who lived in the early 20th century. Aristotle's rhetorical teachings were influential until the collapse of the Greek Empire and the Roman Empire. Aristotle lived at a time when humans began to shroud psychological problems. Each statement is only justified through logical argumentation that uses reason. Empirical evidence has not been widely used in predicting a thought. At this time, psychology was still part of philosophy. In Ancient Greece, Aristotle became one of the figures who put forward the theory of psychology together with Plato. He argued that a body that has organs is composed of a fundamental component called the soul. The position of the soul in the organic body is as the first and main c
