Aristotle (模板:IPAc-en;模板:Sfn 模板:Lang-grc-gre Aristotélēs, 模板:IPA-grc; 384–322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Lyceum, the Peripatetic school of philosophy, and the Aristotelian tradition. His writings cover many subjects including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, and government. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. It was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion.

亚里士多德(Aristotle /ærɪsˈtɒtəl/;Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs, pronounced [aristotélɛːs]; 384–322 BC)是古希腊古典时期的哲学家和博物学家。在 柏拉图 Plato的指导下,他创立了吕克昂学院、哲学逍遥学派和亚里士多德传统。他的著作涉及许多学科,包括 物理学 physics 生物学 biology 动物学 zoology 形而上学 metaphysics 逻辑学 logic 伦理学 ethics 美学 aesthetics 诗歌 poetry 戏剧 theatre 音乐 music 修辞学 rhetoric 心理学 psychology 语言学 linguistics 经济学 economics 政治学 politics政府论 government。亚里士多德对在他之前存在的各种哲学进行了复杂的综合。最重要的是,正是从他的教诲中,西方世界继承了他的知识词汇、问题,和研究方法。因此,他的哲学对西方几乎所有的知识领域都产生了独特的影响,并且继续成为当代哲学讨论的主题。


Little is known about his life. Aristotle was born in the city of Stagira in Northern Greece. His father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, and he was brought up by a guardian. At seventeen or eighteen years of age he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of thirty-seven (c. 347 BC).模板:Sfn Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip II of Macedon, tutored Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC.模板:Sfn He established a library in the Lyceum which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls. Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues for publication, only around a third of his original output has survived, none of it intended for publication.模板:Sfn

关于他的生平我们知之甚少。亚里士多德出生于希腊北部的斯塔基拉市。他的父亲尼科马修斯(Nicomachus),在亚里士多德还是个孩子的时候就去世了,他是由一位监护人抚养长大的。十七岁的时候,他加入了雅典的柏拉图学院,一直呆到37岁(约公元前347年)。在柏拉图死后不久,亚里士多德离开了雅典,在腓力二世的要求下,他从公元前343年开始辅导亚历山大大帝。他在吕克昂里建立了一个图书馆,帮助他制作了数百本纸莎草卷轴的书籍。尽管亚里士多德写了许多优美的论文和对话录供出版,但是只有三分之一的原著保存下来,且没有一本是他打算出版的。


Aristotle's views on physical science profoundly shaped medieval scholarship. Their influence extended from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages into the Renaissance, and were not replaced systematically until the Enlightenment and theories such as classical mechanics were developed. Some of Aristotle's zoological observations found in his biology, such as on the hectocotyl (reproductive) arm of the octopus, were disbelieved until the 19th century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, studied by medieval scholars such as Peter Abelard and John Buridan. Aristotle's influence on logic also continued well into the 19th century.

亚里士多德关于物理学的观点深刻地影响了中世纪的学术研究。他们的影响从古代晚期和中世纪早期一直延伸到文艺复兴时期,直到启蒙运动和经典力学等理论的发展才被系统地取代。亚里士多德在他的生物学中发现的一些动物学观察,例如章鱼的八轴臂(繁殖臂),直到19世纪才被人们所相信。他的著作包含了已知最早的逻辑学研究,中世纪学者如彼得·阿伯拉尔 Peter Abelard 和约翰·布里丹 John Buridan 研究过。亚里士多德对逻辑学的影响一直延续到19世纪。


He influenced Judeo-Islamic philosophies (800–1400) during the Middle Ages, as well as Christian theology, especially the Neoplatonism of the Early Church and the scholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. Aristotle was revered among medieval Muslim scholars as "The First Teacher" and among medieval Christians like Thomas Aquinas as simply "The Philosopher". His ethics, though always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of virtue ethics, such as in the thinking of Alasdair MacIntyre and Philippa Foot.

他影响了中世纪的犹太-伊斯兰哲学(800-1400),也影响了基督教神学,特别是早期教会的新柏拉图主义和天主教会的经院传统。亚里士多德在中世纪的穆斯林学者中被尊为“第一导师” ,在托马斯·阿奎那 Thomas Aquinas 等中世纪基督徒中被尊为“哲学家”。他的伦理学,虽然一直就很有影响力,但随着现代美德伦理学的出现,例如阿拉斯代尔·麦金泰尔 Alasdair MacIntyre 和菲利帕·福特Philippa Foot的思想,他的伦理学又进一步重新引起了人们的兴趣。

亚里士多德的名字在古希腊语中意为“最好的目的”,他出生于公元前384年,位于查尔基迪斯的斯塔吉拉,距现代塞萨洛尼基东约55公里(34英里)。他的父亲尼科马修斯 Nicomachus是马其顿国王阿米尼塔斯 Amyntas的私人医生。亚里士多德的父母均在他十三岁时去世,而来自阿塔尼厄斯的普罗齐诺斯 Proxenus成为了他的监护人。尽管关于亚里士多德童年的信息很少,但他可能在马其顿宫殿里呆过一段时间,与马其顿君主政体初次接触。


At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Aristotle moved to Athens to continue his education at Plato's Academy.模板:Sfn He probably experienced the Eleusinian Mysteries as he wrote when describing the sights one viewed at the Eleusinian Mysteries, "to experience is to learn" [παθείν μαθεĩν].模板:Sfn Aristotle remained in Athens for nearly twenty years before leaving in 348/47 BC. The traditional story about his departure records that he was disappointed with the Academy's direction after control passed to Plato's nephew Speusippus, although it is possible that he feared the anti-Macedonian sentiments in Athens at that time and left before Plato died.模板:Sfn Aristotle then accompanied Xenocrates to the court of his friend Hermias of Atarneus in Asia Minor. After the death of Hermias, Aristotle travelled with his pupil Theophrastus to the island of Lesbos, where together they researched the botany and zoology of the island and its sheltered lagoon. While in Lesbos, Aristotle married Pythias, either Hermias's adoptive daughter or niece. She bore him a daughter, whom they also named Pythias. In 343 BC, Aristotle was invited by Philip II of Macedon to become the tutor to his son Alexander.模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

在十七八岁时,亚里士多德移居雅典,在柏拉图学院继续他的学业。他可能经历过厄琉息斯秘仪,因为他所描述过在厄琉息斯秘仪观察到的景象:“经历就是学习”[ παεθν αθν μθν ]。亚里士多德在公元前348/347年离开之前,在雅典呆了将近20年。关于他离开的故事记载,在柏拉图的侄子斯皮普斯 Speusippus掌管学院后,他对学院发展方向感到失望,尽管他也可能是害怕当时雅典的反马其顿情绪,因此在柏拉图去世之前离开了。随后,亚里士多德陪同齐诺克利特 Xenocrates来到小亚细亚的他的朋友阿塔尼厄斯的赫米亚 Hermias的宫廷。赫米亚死后,亚里士多德和他的学生泰奥弗拉斯特斯 Theophrastus前往莱斯博斯岛,在那里他们一起研究了岛上及其环礁湖的植物学和动物学。在莱斯博斯岛的时候,亚里士多德与赫米亚的养女或侄女皮提亚斯 Pythias结婚。她为他生了一个女儿,他们也给她起名叫Pythias。公元前343年,腓力二世邀请亚里士多德成为他儿子亚历山大 Alexander的家庭教师。

亚里士多德被任命为马其顿皇家学院院长。亚里士多德在马其顿宫廷的时候,他不仅向亚历山大授课,还向未来的另外两位国王授课: 托勒密 Ptolemy卡山德 Cassander。亚里士多德鼓励亚历山大去征服东方,而亚里士多德本人对波斯的态度是毫不掩饰的种族主义。在一个著名的例子中,他建议亚历山大成为“希腊人的领袖,野蛮人的暴君,像对待亲友一样对待前者,像对待动物或植物一样对待后者”。到公元前335年,亚里士多德回到雅典,在那里建立了他自己的学校,被称为吕克昂。在接下来的十二年里,亚里士多德在学校里开设课程。在雅典期间,他的妻子Pythias去世,亚里士多德与斯塔吉拉的赫皮利斯 Herpyllis有染,赫皮利斯为他生了一个儿子,亚里士多德以他父亲Nicomachus的名字给他取名。如果我们相信苏达 Suda(中世纪的一个不严谨的汇编) 中的记载,他可能也有一个情人:Palaephatus of Abydus

公元前335年至公元前323年的雅典时期,被认为是亚里士多德创作的黄金时期。他写了许多对话录,其中只有一些片段留存了下来。那些留存下来的作品都是论文形式的,而且大部分并不打算广泛出版; 它们通常被认为是他的学生的讲课辅助工具。他最重要的论著包括《物理学》、《形而上学》、《尼各马可伦理学》、《政治学》、《论灵魂》和《诗学》。亚里士多德对“逻辑学、形而上学、数学、物理学、生物学、植物学、伦理学、政治学、农业、医学、舞蹈和戏剧学”都有研究,并作出了重大贡献


Near the end of his life, Alexander and Aristotle became estranged over Alexander's relationship with Persia and Persians.

在他生命的最后阶段,亚历山大和亚里士多德因为亚历山大与波斯和波斯人的关系而变得疏远。古代有一个广泛流传的传说,怀疑亚里士多德在亚历山大的死亡中扮演了一个角色,但是唯一的证据是在亚历山大死亡大约六年后提出的一个不太可能的断言。亚历山大死后,雅典的反马其顿情绪重新燃起。公元前322年,据说德摩菲勒斯 Demophilus赫拉菲顿 Eurymedon谴责亚里士多德不敬神,促使他逃往他母亲在埃维厄岛哈尔基斯的家族庄园,传闻当时他说: “我不允许雅典人两次违背哲学”——指的是雅典对苏格拉底的审判和处决。同年晚些时候,他在埃维厄岛自然去世,指定他的学生安提帕特 Antipater为他的首席遗嘱执行人,并留下一份遗嘱,要求与妻子葬在一起。

由于《先验分析学》一书,亚里士多德被认为是最早研究形式逻辑的人,并且他对形式逻辑的构想是19世纪数理逻辑发展之前西方逻辑的主导形式。康德 Kant在《纯粹理性批判》中指出,有了亚里士多德,逻辑学才得以完善。


《工具论》

What we today call Aristotelian logic with its types of syllogism (methods of logical argument),模板:Sfn Aristotle himself would have labelled "analytics". The term "logic" he reserved to mean dialectics. Most of Aristotle's work is probably not in its original form, because it was most likely edited by students and later lecturers. The logical works of Aristotle were compiled into a set of six books called the Organon around 40 BC by Andronicus of Rhodes or others among his followers.模板:Sfn The books are:

今天我们所称的亚里士多德逻辑学及其三段论(逻辑论证的方法) ,亚里士多德本人将其称为“分析学”。他把“逻辑”一词保留为“辩证法”的意思。亚里士多德的大部分著作可能都不是原貌,因为它很可能是由学生和后来的讲师编辑的。大约在公元前40年左右,亚里士多德的逻辑学著作被罗德岛的安东尼库斯 Andronicus及其追随者中的其他人汇编成了一套6本书,名为《工具论》。这些书是:

  1. 《范畴篇 Categories》
  2. 《解释篇 On Interpretation》
  3. 《先验分析篇 Prior Analytics》
  4. 《后验分析篇 Posterior Analytics》
  5. 《论题篇 Topics》
  6. 《辩谬篇 On Sophistical Refutations》

The order of the books (or the teachings from which they are composed) is not certain, but this list was derived from analysis of Aristotle's writings. It goes from the basics, the analysis of simple terms in the Categories, the analysis of propositions and their elementary relations in On Interpretation, to the study of more complex forms, namely, syllogisms (in the Analytics)模板:Sfn模板:Sfn and dialectics (in the Topics and Sophistical Refutations). The first three treatises form the core of the logical theory stricto sensu: the grammar of the language of logic and the correct rules of reasoning. The Rhetoric is not conventionally included, but it states that it relies on the Topics.模板:Sfn

这些书的顺序(或者说它们所组成的课程)并不确定,但是这个清单是通过对亚里士多德著作的分析中得出的。它从基础知识,《范畴篇》中对简单术语的分析,《解释篇》中对命题及其基本关系的分析,到研究更复杂的形式,即三段论(在《分析篇》中)和辩证法(在《论题篇与辩谬篇》中)。前三篇论述构成了严格意义上的逻辑理论的核心: 逻辑语言的语法和正确的推理规则。《修辞学》没有按照惯例包括在内,但它指出它依赖于《论题篇》。


形而上学

The word "metaphysics" appears to have been coined by the first century AD editor who assembled various small selections of Aristotle's works to the treatise we know by the name Metaphysics.模板:Sfn Aristotle called it "first philosophy", and distinguished it from mathematics and natural science (physics) as the contemplative (theoretikē) philosophy which is "theological" and studies the divine. He wrote in his Metaphysics (1026a16):

“形而上学”一词似乎是由公元前一世纪的一位编辑创造的,他把亚里士多德的作品中的一些小片段汇编成我们所知的《形而上学》这篇论文。亚里士多德称之为“第一哲学” ,并把它与数学和自然科学(物理学)区别开来,是一种沉思的(理论)哲学,即“神学”和研究神性。他在《形而上学》(1026a16)中写道:


if there were no other independent things besides the composite natural ones, the study of nature would be the primary kind of knowledge; but if there is some motionless independent thing, the knowledge of this precedes it and is first philosophy, and it is universal in just this way, because it is first. And it belongs to this sort of philosophy to study being as being, both what it is and what belongs to it just by virtue of being.模板:Sfn

如果除了复合的自然事物之外,没有其他独立的事物,那么对自然的研究将是主要的一种知识;但是,如果有不动的独立的事物,那么对于这种独立的东西的认识就先于它而成为第一哲学,因此它就具有普遍性,因为它是第一的。而这种哲学,既要研究作为存在的存在,也要研究由于存在而属于存在的存在。

物质 (substance)

Aristotle examines the concepts of substance (ousia) and essence (to ti ên einai, "the what it was to be") in his Metaphysics (Book VII), and he concludes that a particular substance is a combination of both matter and form, a philosophical theory called hylomorphism. In Book VIII, he distinguishes the matter of the substance as the substratum, or the stuff of which it is composed. For example, the matter of a house is the bricks, stones, timbers etc., or whatever constitutes the potential house, while the form of the substance is the actual house, namely 'covering for bodies and chattels' or any other differentia that let us define something as a house. The formula that gives the components is the account of the matter, and the formula that gives the differentia is the account of the form.模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

亚里士多德在《形而上学》(第七卷)中研究了物质和本质的概念,他得出结论说,一种特殊的物质是物质和形式的结合体,这是一种哲学理论,称为形式质料说。在第八卷中,他将物质区分为基础,或构成物质的材料。例如,房子的物质是砖、石头、木材等,或任何构成潜在房子的物质,而实体的形式是实际的房子,即“覆盖身体和动产”或任何其他差异,让我们定义一些东西为房子。给出分量的公式是对物质的描述,给出微分的公式是对形式的描述。


Immanent realism

内在实在论

Like his teacher Plato, Aristotle's philosophy aims at the universal. Aristotle's ontology places the universal (katholou) in particulars (kath' hekaston), things in the world, whereas for Plato the universal is a separately existing form which actual things imitate. For Aristotle, "form" is still what phenomena are based on, but is "instantiated" in a particular substance.模板:Sfn

和他的老师柏拉图一样,亚里士多德的哲学也着眼于普遍性。亚里士多德的本体论把普遍性(天主教)至于特殊性(凯斯的希卡斯顿),即世界上的事物中,而对Plato来说,普遍性是实际事物模仿的一种单独存在的形式。对于亚里士多德来说,“形式”仍然是现象的基础,但是在特定的实体中被“实例化”了。


Plato argued that all things have a universal form, which could be either a property or a relation to other things. When we look at an apple, for example, we see an apple, and we can also analyse a form of an apple. In this distinction, there is a particular apple and a universal form of an apple. Moreover, we can place an apple next to a book, so that we can speak of both the book and apple as being next to each other. Plato argued that there are some universal forms that are not a part of particular things. For example, it is possible that there is no particular good in existence, but "good" is still a proper universal form. Aristotle disagreed with Plato on this point, arguing that all universals are instantiated at some period of time, and that there are no universals that are unattached to existing things. In addition, Aristotle disagreed with Plato about the location of universals. Where Plato spoke of the world of forms, a place where all universal forms subsist, Aristotle maintained that universals exist within each thing on which each universal is predicated. So, according to Aristotle, the form of apple exists within each apple, rather than in the world of the forms.模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

Plato argued that all things have a universal form, which could be either a property or a relation to other things. When we look at an apple, for example, we see an apple, and we can also analyse a form of an apple. In this distinction, there is a particular apple and a universal form of an apple. Moreover, we can place an apple next to a book, so that we can speak of both the book and apple as being next to each other. Plato argued that there are some universal forms that are not a part of particular things. For example, it is possible that there is no particular good in existence, but "good" is still a proper universal form. Aristotle disagreed with Plato on this point, arguing that all universals are instantiated at some period of time, and that there are no universals that are unattached to existing things. In addition, Aristotle disagreed with Plato about the location of universals. Where Plato spoke of the world of forms, a place where all universal forms subsist, Aristotle maintained that universals exist within each thing on which each universal is predicated. So, according to Aristotle, the form of apple exists within each apple, rather than in the world of the forms.

Plato认为,一切事物都有一个普遍的形式,这个形式可以是一种属性,也可以是与其他事物的关系。例如,当我们看一个苹果时,我们看到的是一个苹果,也可以分析出一个苹果的形式。在这种区分中,有一个特殊的苹果和一个苹果的普遍形式。此外,我们还可以把苹果放在一本书旁边,这样我们就可以把书和苹果都说成是相邻的。柏拉图认为,有一些普遍形式不是特定事物的一部分。例如,有可能没有特定的善存在,但 "善 "仍然是一种恰当的普遍形式。Aristotle在这一点上不同意柏拉图的观点,认为所有的普遍性都是在某个时期被实例化的,不存在不依附于现存事物的普遍性。此外,m在普遍性的位置问题上也与柏拉图意见相左。Plato所说的形式世界,是所有普遍形式都存在的地方,而m则认为,普遍性存在于每个普遍性所依托的每个事物之中。所以,根据m的观点,苹果的形式存在于每个苹果之内,而不是存在于形式世界之中。

The coming to be is a change where nothing persists of which the resultant is a property. In that particular change he introduces the concept of potentiality (dynamis) and actuality (entelecheia) in association with the matter and the form. Referring to potentiality, this is what a thing is capable of doing, or being acted upon, if the conditions are right and it is not prevented by something else. For example, the seed of a plant in the soil is potentially (dynamei) plant, and if it is not prevented by something, it will become a plant. Potentially beings can either 'act' (poiein) or 'be acted upon' (paschein), which can be either innate or learned. For example, the eyes possess the potentiality of sight (innate – being acted upon), while the capability of playing the flute can be possessed by learning (exercise – acting). Actuality is the fulfilment of the end of the potentiality. Because the end (telos) is the principle of every change, and for the sake of the end exists potentiality, therefore actuality is the end. Referring then to our previous example, we could say that an actuality is when a plant does one of the activities that plants do.模板:Sfn

形成是一种变化,其中没有任何东西持续存在,其结果是一种属性。在这种特殊的变化中,他引入了与物质和形式相相关的潜在性(动力)和现实性(真实性)的概念。所谓潜在性,是指一个事物在条件合适且不受其他事物阻碍的情况下,能够做什么或被什么所影响。例如,土壤中植物的种子是潜在的(dynamei )植物,如果不受某种东西的阻止,它就会成为植物。潜在的生命可以 "行动"(poiein)或 "被行动"(paschein),这可以是天生的,也可以是后天的。例如,眼睛具有视觉潜能(先天行为) ,而长笛演奏能力可以通过学习(练习作用)来实现。实际性是潜能最终的实现。因为目的是一切变化的原则,而为了目的而存在着潜能,所以现实性就是目的。那么,参照我们前面的例子,我们可以说,实际性是指植物做了植物所做的活动之一。

In summary, the matter used to make a house has potentiality to be a house and both the activity of building and the form of the final house are actualities, which is also a final cause or end. Then Aristotle proceeds and concludes that the actuality is prior to potentiality in formula, in time and in substantiality. With this definition of the particular substance (i.e., matter and form), Aristotle tries to solve the problem of the unity of the beings, for example, "what is it that makes a man one"? Since, according to Plato there are two Ideas: animal and biped, how then is man a unity? However, according to Aristotle, the potential being (matter) and the actual one (form) are one and the same.模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

综上所述,用来造房子的物质具有成为房子的可能性,而建造房子的活动和最后房子的形式都是实际性,这也是最后的原因或目的。接着,m又得出结论说,实际性在公式上、在时间上和在实质上都是先于潜在性的。m用这种对特殊物质(即物质和形式)的定义,试图解决众生的统一性问题,例如,"是什么使人成为一个人"?既然按照Plato的说法,有两个意念:动物和两足动物,那么,人又如何是一个统一体呢?然而,按照m的说法,潜在的存在(物质)和实际的存在(形式)是一体的。


Epistemology

认识论

Aristotle的运动定律。在物理学中,他指出,物体坠落的速度与它们的重量成正比,与它们所浸泡的液体的密度成反比。这对于地球引力场中在空气或水中运动的物体来说,是一个正确的近似值。


In the Physics (215a25), Aristotle effectively states a quantitative law, that the speed, v, of a falling body is proportional (say, with constant c) to its weight, W, and inversely proportional to the density,模板:Efn-ua ρ, of the fluid in which it is falling:模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

Aristotle暗示,在真空中下落的速度将是无限的,并从这个明显的荒谬得出结论,真空是不可能的。对于Aristotle是否有意阐述数量法则,人们的意见不一。亨利·卡特隆(Henri Carteron)持“极端观点”,认为Aristotle的力概念基本上是定性的,但其他作者反对这种观点。

Aristotle's writings on motion remained influential until the Early Modern period. John Philoponus (in the Middle Ages) and Galileo are said to have shown by experiment that Aristotle's claim that a heavier object falls faster than a lighter object is incorrect.模板:Sfn A contrary opinion is given by Carlo Rovelli, who argues that Aristotle's physics of motion is correct within its domain of validity, that of objects in the Earth's gravitational field immersed in a fluid such as air.

Aristotle关于运动的著作直到近代早期仍有影响。据说约翰•菲洛波努斯John Philoponus(中世纪)和伽利略Galileo通过实验表明,Aristotle关于较重的物体比较轻的物体下落得快的说法是不正确的。卡罗.罗维利Carlo Rovelli给出了相反的意见,他认为Aristotle的运动物理学在其有效领域内是正确的,即在地球引力场中浸泡在空气等流体中的物体。在这一体系中,处于稳定下落的重体确实比轻体走得快(无论是否忽略摩擦力),而且在密度较大的介质中,重体下落的速度确实较慢。


Newton's "forced" motion corresponds to Aristotle's "violent" motion with its external agent, but Aristotle's assumption that the agent's effect stops immediately it stops acting (e.g., the ball leaves the thrower's hand) has awkward consequences: he has to suppose that surrounding fluid helps to push the ball along to make it continue to rise even though the hand is no longer acting on it, resulting in the Medieval theory of impetus.模板:Sfn

牛顿Newton的“被迫”运动相当于亚里士多德的“暴力”运动及其外部因素,但Aristotle的假设,该因素的影响立即停止(例如,球离开投掷者的手),这就产生了尴尬的后果: 他必须假设周围的液体帮助推动球前进,使球继续上升,即使手不再作用于球,也会产生中世纪的推动力理论。

Aristotle通过与木制品的类比论证了一个事物的形式有四个原因:以桌子为例,使用的木材(材料原因),它的设计(形式原因),使用的工具和技术(有效原因),以及它的装饰或实用目的(最终原因)。


Aristotle suggested that the reason for anything coming about can be attributed to four different types of simultaneously active factors. His term aitia is traditionally translated as "cause", but it does not always refer to temporal sequence; it might be better translated as "explanation", but the traditional rendering will be employed here.模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

Aristotle suggested that the reason for anything coming about can be attributed to four different types of simultaneously active factors. His term aitia is traditionally translated as "cause", but it does not always refer to temporal sequence; it might be better translated as "explanation", but the traditional rendering will be employed here.

Aristotle认为,任何事情发生的原因,都可以归因于同时存在的四种不同类型的积极因素。他的术语aitia传统上被翻译为“原因”,但它并不总是指时间序列;将它翻译成“解释”可能更好,但这里将采用传统的呈现方式。

  • Material cause describes the material out of which something is composed. Thus the material cause of a table is wood. It is not about action. It does not mean that one domino knocks over another domino.模板:Sfn

物质原因描述的是组成某物的物质。因此,制作桌子的材料是木头。这不是行动的问题。这并不意味着一张多米诺骨牌会击倒另一张。

  • The formal cause is its form, i.e., the arrangement of that matter. It tells us what a thing is, that a thing is determined by the definition, form, pattern, essence, whole, synthesis or archetype. It embraces the account of causes in terms of fundamental principles or general laws, as the whole (i.e., macrostructure) is the cause of its parts, a relationship known as the whole-part causation. Plainly put, the formal cause is the idea in the mind of the sculptor that brings the sculpture into being. A simple example of the formal cause is the mental image or idea that allows an artist, architect, or engineer to create a drawing.模板:Sfn

形式上的原因是它的形式,即该事物的安排。它告诉我们一个事物是什么,一个事物是由定义、形式、模式、本质、整体、综合或原型决定的。它包含了用基本原理或一般规律来说明原因,因为整体(即宏观结构)是其部分的原因,这种关系称为整体-部分因果关系。通俗地说,形式原因就是雕塑家头脑中的想法,使雕塑作品得以产生。形式因的一个简单的例子,就是让艺术家、建筑师或工程师创造出图纸的心理意象或想法。

  • The efficient cause is "the primary source", or that from which the change under consideration proceeds. It identifies 'what makes of what is made and what causes change of what is changed' and so suggests all sorts of agents, nonliving or living, acting as the sources of change or movement or rest. Representing the current understanding of causality as the relation of cause and effect, this covers the modern definitions of "cause" as either the agent or agency or particular events or states of affairs. In the case of two dominoes, when the first is knocked over it causes the second also to fall over. In the case of animals, this agency is a combination of how it develops from the egg, and how its body functions.模板:Sfn In the case of animals, this agency is a combination of how it develops from the egg, and how its body functions.模板:Sfn

有效原因是 "主要来源",或者说,所考虑的变化是从这里开始的。它确定了 "是什么造就了什么,是什么引起了被改变的东西的变化",因此暗示了各种代理人,无论是非生物的还是生物的,都是变化或运动或休息的来源。代表目前对因果关系的理解是因果关系,这涵盖了现代对 "原因 "的定义,要么是代理人或机构,要么是特定的事件或事态。在两个多米诺骨牌的情况下,当第一个骨牌被撞倒时,会导致第二个骨牌也倒下。就动物而言,该机构是鸡蛋如何发育以及其身体功能的综合体。

  • The final cause (telos) is its purpose, the reason why a thing exists or is done, including both purposeful and instrumental actions and activities. The final cause is the purpose or function that something is supposed to serve. This covers modern ideas of motivating causes, such as volition.模板:Sfn In the case of living things, it implies adaptation to a particular way of life. In the case of living things, it implies adaptation to a particular way of life.模板:Sfn

最终的原因(telos)是其目的,是一件事情存在或被做的原因,包括目的性和工具性的行为和活动。最后的原因是指某一事物所要达到的目的或功能。这涵盖了现代动机原因的概念,如意志。就生物而言,它意味着适应一种特定的生活方式。

Optics

Aristotle describes experiments in optics using a camera obscura in Problems, book 15. The apparatus consisted of a dark chamber with a small aperture that let light in. With it, he saw that whatever shape he made the hole, the sun's image always remained circular. He also noted that increasing the distance between the aperture and the image surface magnified the image.模板:Sfn

Aristotle在《问题》第15卷中描述了使用照相机暗箱进行光学实验的情况。该仪器由一个暗室组成,暗室有一个小孔,可以让光线进入。用它,他看到无论他把孔做成什么形状,太阳的图像总是保持圆形。他还注意到,增加光圈与图像表面之间的距离,可以放大图像。


Chance and spontaneity

机会与自发性

模板:Further

According to Aristotle, spontaneity and chance are causes of some things, distinguishable from other types of cause such as simple necessity. Chance as an incidental cause lies in the realm of accidental things, "from what is spontaneous". There is also more a specific kind of chance, which Aristotle names "luck", that only applies to people's moral choices.模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

根据Aristotle的观点,自发性和偶然性是某些事物的原因,区别于其他类型的原因,如简单的必然性。偶然作为一种偶然的原因,存在于偶然事物的领域,即“来自于自发的东西”。还有一种特定的机会,Aristotle称之为“运气”,它只适用于人们的道德选择。

在天文学上,Aristotle驳斥了德谟克利特Democritus关于银河系是由 "那些被地球遮挡住太阳光线的恒星 "组成的说法,正确地指出,如果 "太阳的大小大于地球的大小,恒星与地球的距离比太阳的距离大许多倍,那么......太阳照耀着所有的恒星,而地球却没有屏蔽任何一颗恒星"。

Aristotle was one of the first people to record any geological observations. He stated that geological change was too slow to be observed in one person's lifetime.

Aristotle是最早记录地质观测数据的人之一。他说,地质变化太慢,在一个人的一生中无法观察到。

The geologist Charles Lyell noted that Aristotle described such change, including "lakes that had dried up" and "deserts that had become watered by rivers", giving as examples the growth of the Nile delta since the time of Homer, and "the upheaving of one of the Aeolian islands, previous to a volcanic eruption."'模板:Sfn

地质学家查尔斯•莱尔Charles Lyell指出,Aristotle描述了这种变化,包括 "已经干涸的湖泊 "和 "被河流浇灌的沙漠",他举例说,自荷马时代以来,尼罗河三角洲的增长,以及 "伊奥利亚群岛中的一个岛屿在火山喷发颠覆"。

His data in History of Animals, Generation of Animals, Movement of Animals, and Parts of Animals are assembled from his own observations, statements given by people with specialized knowledge such as beekeepers and fishermen, and less accurate accounts provided by travellers from overseas. His apparent emphasis on animals rather than plants is a historical accident: his works on botany have been lost, but two books on plants by his pupil Theophrastus have survived.

Aristotle是第一个系统研究生物学的人,生物学构成了他著作的很大一部分。他花了两年时间观察和描述莱斯博斯岛及周围海域的动物学,尤其是包括莱斯伯斯岛的皮尔哈泻湖。他在《动物的历史》、《动物的生成》、《动物的运动》和《动物的部分》中的数据是根据他自己的观察、养蜂人和渔民等具有专业知识的人的陈述以及海外旅行者提供的不太准确的描述汇集而成。他显然强调动物而不是植物,这是一个历史的偶然:他的植物学著作已经遗失,但他的学生提Theophrastus的两本植物学著作却留了下来。

Aristotle reports on the sea-life visible from observation on Lesbos and the catches of fishermen. He describes the catfish, electric ray, and frogfish in detail, as well as cephalopods such as the octopus and paper nautilus. His description of the hectocotyl arm of cephalopods, used in sexual reproduction, was widely disbelieved until the 19th century.模板:Sfn He gives accurate descriptions of the four-chambered fore-stomachs of ruminants,模板:Sfn and of the ovoviviparous embryological development of the hound shark.模板:Sfn

Aristotle通过对莱斯博斯岛的观察和渔民的捕获来描述海洋生物。他详细描述了鲶鱼、电鳐和蛙鱼,以及章鱼和纸鹦鹉螺等头足类动物。直到19世纪,人们才广泛相信他所描述的头足类动物中的交接腕。他对反刍动物的四腔前胃和猎鲨的卵生胚胎发育作了准确的描述。

For Aristotle, accidents, like heat waves in winter, must be considered distinct from natural causes. He was thus critical of Empedocles's materialist theory of a "survival of the fittest" origin of living things and their organs, and ridiculed the idea that accidents could lead to orderly results.模板:Sfn To put his views into modern terms, he nowhere says that different species can have a common ancestor, or that one kind can change into another, or that kinds can become extinct.模板:Sfn

他指出,动物的结构与功能是相匹配的,因此,在鸟类中,栖息在泥沼中以捕鱼为生的苍鹭有长长的脖子和长腿,还有像矛一样锋利的喙,而游泳的鸭子有短腿和蹼足。达尔文也注意到了类似动物之间的这些差异,但与Aristotle不同的是,他利用这些数据得出了进化论。对现代读者来说,Aristotle的著作似乎暗示了进化论,但当Aristotle意识到可能会发生新的突变或杂交时,他把这些看作是罕见的意外。对亚里士多德来说,对Aristotle来说,意外就像冬天的热浪一样,必须区别于自然原因来考虑。因此,他对Empedocles关于生物及其器官 "适者生存 "起源的唯物主义理论持批判态度,并嘲笑了意外事故可以导致有序结果的观点。用现代的术语来说,他没有说过不同的物种可以有一个共同的祖先,也没有说过一种物种可以变为另一种物种,也没有说过物种可以灭绝。

Aristotle从他对动物的观察中推断出生长规律,包括卵数随着体重的增加而减少,而妊娠期却在增加。他的这些预测是正确的,至少对哺乳动物来说是这样:有数据显示了老鼠和大象的情况。

Aristotle没有做现代意义上的实验。他使用古希腊术语pepeiramenoi来表示观察,或者至多表示像解剖这样的研究过程。在动物繁殖过程中,他找到一个处于合适阶段的受精卵,打开它看里面胚胎的心脏跳动。

相反,他实践了一种不同的科学风格:系统地收集数据,发现整个动物群体的共同模式,并从中推断出可能的因果解释。这种风格在现代生物学中很常见,当在一个新的领域(如基因组学)中出现大量数据时,就会出现这种风格。它的结果并不像实验科学那样具有确定性,但它提出了可检验的假说,并对观察到的东西构建了一种叙述性的解释。在这个意义上,Aristotle的生物学是科学的。


From the data he collected and documented, Aristotle inferred quite a number of rules relating the life-history features of the live-bearing tetrapods (terrestrial placental mammals) that he studied. Among these correct predictions are the following. Brood size decreases with (adult) body mass, so that an elephant has fewer young (usually just one) per brood than a mouse. Lifespan increases with gestation period, and also with body mass, so that elephants live longer than mice, have a longer period of gestation, and are heavier. As a final example, fecundity decreases with lifespan, so long-lived kinds like elephants have fewer young in total than short-lived kinds like mice.模板:Sfn模板:-

从他收集和记录的数据中,Aristotle推断出许多他所研究的四足动物(陆生胎盘哺乳动物)生活史特征的规律。以下是正确的预测。幼体大小随着(成年)体重的增加而减少,因此大象每窝产下的幼体(通常只有一个)比老鼠少。寿命随着妊娠期和体重的增加而延长,因此大象比老鼠活得更长,妊娠期更长,体重也更重。最后一个例子是,繁殖力随着寿命的延长而减少,所以像大象这样的长寿种类的幼崽总数要少于像老鼠这样的短寿种类。

Aristotle区分了大约500种动物,在动物发展史上按照完美程度(即自然等级)对它们进行排列,其中人处于最顶端。他的系统将动物分为11个等级,从潜能最高的到潜能最低的,以出生时的形式表现出来:潜能最高的能生下湿热的生物,而潜能最低的能生下冰冷、干燥的类似矿物的蛋。动物在植物之上,植物又在矿物之上。另见:他将现代动物学家称之为脊椎动物的动物归类为温度较高的“带血的动物”,而温度较低的无脊椎动物则归类为“无血的动物”。那些有血液的动物被分为胎生动物(哺乳动物)和卵生动物(鸟类、爬行动物、鱼类)。那些没有血液的是昆虫、甲壳类(无壳的头足类和有壳的)和硬壳软体动物(双壳类和腹足类)。他认识到动物并不完全符合线性比例,并指出了各种例外情况,比如鲨鱼和四足动物一样有胎盘。对现代生物学家来说,亚里士多德无法解释的解释是趋同进化。他相信有目的的最终原因引导着所有的自然过程;这种目的论的观点证明他观察到的数据是形式设计的一种表现。

Aristotle proposed a three-part structure for souls of plants, animals, and humans, making humans unique in having all three types of soul.

Aristotle提出了植物、动物和人类的灵魂的三部分结构,这使得人类独特地拥有这三种类型的灵魂。

Aristotle's psychology, given in his treatise On the Soul (peri psychēs), posits three kinds of soul ("psyches"): the vegetative soul, the sensitive soul, and the rational soul. Humans have a rational soul. The human soul incorporates the powers of the other kinds: Like the vegetative soul it can grow and nourish itself; like the sensitive soul it can experience sensations and move locally. The unique part of the human, rational soul is its ability to receive forms of other things and to compare them using the nous (intellect) and logos (reason).模板:Sfn

The unique part of the human, rational soul is its ability to receive forms of other things and to compare them using the nous (intellect) and logos (reason).

Aristotle的心理学,在他的论文《论灵魂》(peri psychēs)中,提出了三种灵魂("psyches"):植物性灵魂、敏感性灵魂和理性灵魂。人类有一个理性的灵魂。人类的灵魂融合了其他种类的力量。像植物性灵魂一样,它可以生长和滋养自己;像敏感的灵魂一样,它可以体验感觉和局部移动。人的理性灵魂的独特之处在于它能接受其他事物的形式,并能用nous(智力)和logos(理智)来比较它们。

For Aristotle, the soul is the form of a living being. Because all beings are composites of form and matter, the form of living beings is that which endows them with what is specific to living beings, e.g. the ability to initiate movement (or in the case of plants, growth and chemical transformations, which Aristotle considers types of movement).模板:Sfn In contrast to earlier philosophers, but in accordance with the Egyptians, he placed the rational soul in the heart, rather than the brain.模板:Sfn Notable is Aristotle's division of sensation and thought, which generally differed from the concepts of previous philosophers, with the exception of Alcmaeon.模板:Sfn

Notable is Aristotle's division of sensation and thought, which generally differed from the concepts of previous philosophers, with the exception of Alcmaeon.

在Aristotle看来,灵魂是生命体的形式。因为所有的生命都是形式和物质的复合体,所以生命体的形式就是赋予生命体特有的东西,例如发起运动的能力(或者在植物的情况下,发起生长和化学转化,Aristotle认为这是运动的类型)。与早期的哲学家不同,但与埃及人一致,他把理性的灵魂放在心里,而不是大脑。值得注意的是亚里士多德对感觉和思维的划分,除阿尔克马翁Alcmaeon外,一般都与以前哲学家的概念不同。


Memory

记忆

According to Aristotle in On the Soul, memory is the ability to hold a perceived experience in the mind and to distinguish between the internal "appearance" and an occurrence in the past.模板:Sfn In other words, a memory is a mental picture (phantasm) that can be recovered. Aristotle believed an impression is left on a semi-fluid bodily organ that undergoes several changes in order to make a memory. A memory occurs when stimuli such as sights or sounds are so complex that the nervous system cannot receive all the impressions at once. These changes are the same as those involved in the operations of sensation, Aristotelian 'common sense', and thinking.模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

According to Aristotle in On the Soul, memory is the ability to hold a perceived experience in the mind and to distinguish between the internal "appearance" and an occurrence in the past. In other words, a memory is a mental picture (phantasm) that can be recovered. Aristotle believed an impression is left on a semi-fluid bodily organ that undergoes several changes in order to make a memory. A memory occurs when stimuli such as sights or sounds are so complex that the nervous system cannot receive all the impressions at once. These changes are the same as those involved in the operations of sensation, Aristotelian 'common sense', and thinking.

根据Aristotle在《论灵魂》一书中的观点,记忆是指将感知到的经验保存在脑海中,并将内部的 "表象 "与过去发生的事情区分开来的能力。换句话说,记忆是一种可以恢复的心理图景(幻象)。Aristotle认为,印象是在半流体的身体器官上留下的,经过几次变化,才能形成记忆。当景物或声音等刺激物非常复杂,以至于神经系统不能同时接受所有的印象时,就会产生记忆。这些变化与感觉、Aristotle的 "常识 "和思维的操作一样。

Aristotle uses the term 'memory' for the actual retaining of an experience in the impression that can develop from sensation, and for the intellectual anxiety that comes with the impression because it is formed at a particular time and processing specific contents. Memory is of the past, prediction is of the future, and sensation is of the present. Retrieval of impressions cannot be performed suddenly. A transitional channel is needed and located in our past experiences, both for our previous experience and present experience.模板:Sfn

Memory is of the past, prediction is of the future, and sensation is of the present. Retrieval of impressions cannot be performed suddenly. A transitional channel is needed and located in our past experiences, both for our previous experience and present experience.

Aristotle用 "记忆 "一词,是指在印象中实际保留一种经验,而这种经验可以从感觉中发展出来,同时,由于印象是在特定的时间和加工特定的内容中形成的,因此,这种印象会带来知识上的焦虑。记忆是过去的,预测是未来的,感觉是现在的。印象的检索不能突然进行。需要一个过渡通道,位于我们过去的经验中,既是我们以前的经验,也是现在的经验。

Because Aristotle believes people receive all kinds of sense perceptions and perceive them as impressions, people are continually weaving together new impressions of experiences. To search for these impressions, people search the memory itself.模板:Sfn Within the memory, if one experience is offered instead of a specific memory, that person will reject this experience until they find what they are looking for. Recollection occurs when one retrieved experience naturally follows another. If the chain of "images" is needed, one memory will stimulate the next. When people recall experiences, they stimulate certain previous experiences until they reach the one that is needed.模板:Sfn Recollection is thus the self-directed activity of retrieving the information stored in a memory impression.模板:Sfn Only humans can remember impressions of intellectual activity, such as numbers and words. Animals that have perception of time can retrieve memories of their past observations. Remembering involves only perception of the things remembered and of the time passed.模板:Sfn

Animals that have perception of time can retrieve memories of their past observations. Remembering involves only perception of the things remembered and of the time passed.

因为Aristotle认为,人们接受各种感觉知觉,并把它们当作印象来认识,所以人们不断地把新的经验印象编织在一起。为了寻找这些印象,人们搜索记忆本身。在记忆中,如果提供一种经验而不是特定的记忆,那么这个人就会拒绝这种经验,直到找到他们所要找的东西。当一个检索到的经验自然而然地跟在另一个经验后面时,就会出现回忆。如果需要 "图像 "的链条,一个记忆会刺激下一个记忆。当人们回忆经验时,他们会刺激以前的某些经验,直到达到需要的经验。因此,回忆是检索存储在记忆印象中的信息的自发活动。只有人类能记住数字、文字等智力活动的印象。有时间知觉的动物可以检索过去观察的记忆。记忆只涉及对所记事物和所过时间的感知。

Aristotle believed the chain of thought, which ends in recollection of certain impressions, was connected systematically in relationships such as similarity, contrast, and contiguity, described in his laws of association. Aristotle believed that past experiences are hidden within the mind. A force operates to awaken the hidden material to bring up the actual experience.

According to Aristotle, association is the power innate in a mental state, which operates upon the unexpressed remains of former experiences, allowing them to rise and be recalled.

Aristotle认为,以回忆某些印象为终结的思维链,在他的联想定律中描述的相似性、对比性和相邻性等关系中,是有系统地连接起来的。Aristotle认为,过去的经验是隐藏在头脑中的。一种力量的运作唤醒了隐藏的材料,使实际的经验浮现出来。根据Aristotle的观点,联想是一种精神状态中与生俱来的力量,它作用于过去经验中未被表达的残余,使它们得以升起并被唤起。

Aristotle describes sleep in On Sleep and Wakefulness. Sleep takes place as a result of overuse of the senses or of digestion, so it is vital to the body. While a person is asleep, the critical activities, which include thinking, sensing, recalling and remembering, do not function as they do during wakefulness. Since a person cannot sense during sleep they can not have desire, which is the result of sensation. However, the senses are able to work during sleep, albeit differently, unless they are weary.

Aristotle在《论睡眠与觉醒》中对睡眠进行了描述。睡眠的发生是感官的过度使用或消化的结果,所以它对身体至关重要。当一个人处于睡眠状态时,包括思考、感知、回忆和记忆在内的关键活动,不会像清醒时那样发挥作用。由于人在睡眠中不能感知,他们就不能有欲望,而欲望是感觉的结果。然而,感官在睡眠期间能够工作,尽管方式不同,除非它们疲惫不堪。

Dreams do not involve actually sensing a stimulus. In dreams, sensation is still involved, but in an altered manner.模板:Sfn Aristotle explains that when a person stares at a moving stimulus such as the waves in a body of water, and then look away, the next thing they look at appears to have a wavelike motion. When a person perceives a stimulus and the stimulus is no longer the focus of their attention, it leaves an impression.模板:Sfn When the body is awake and the senses are functioning properly, a person constantly encounters new stimuli to sense and so the impressions of previously perceived stimuli are ignored.模板:Sfn However, during sleep the impressions made throughout the day are noticed as there are no new distracting sensory experiences.模板:Sfn So, dreams result from these lasting impressions. Since impressions are all that are left and not the exact stimuli, dreams do not resemble the actual waking experience.模板:Sfn During sleep, a person is in an altered state of mind. Aristotle compares a sleeping person to a person who is overtaken by strong feelings toward a stimulus. For example, a person who has a strong infatuation with someone may begin to think they see that person everywhere because they are so overtaken by their feelings. Since a person sleeping is in a suggestible state and unable to make judgements, they become easily deceived by what appears in their dreams, like the infatuated person.模板:Sfn This leads the person to believe the dream is real, even when the dreams are absurd in nature.模板:Sfn In De Anima iii 3, Aristotle ascribes the ability to create, to store, and to recall images in the absence of perception to the faculty of imagination, phantasia.模板:Sfn

When the body is awake and the senses are functioning properly, a person constantly encounters new stimuli to sense and so the impressions of previously perceived stimuli are ignored.

Since impressions are all that are left and not the exact stimuli, dreams do not resemble the actual waking experience. During sleep, a person is in an altered state of mind. Aristotle compares a sleeping person to a person who is overtaken by strong feelings toward a stimulus. For example, a person who has a strong infatuation with someone may begin to think they see that person everywhere because they are so overtaken by their feelings. Since a person sleeping is in a suggestible state and unable to make judgements, they become easily deceived by what appears in their dreams, like the infatuated person. This leads the person to believe the dream is real, even when the dreams are absurd in nature. In De Anima iii 3, Aristotle ascribes the ability to create, to store, and to recall images in the absence of perception to the faculty of imagination, phantasia.

梦并不涉及到实际的感觉刺激。在梦中,感觉仍然参与其中,但以一种改变的方式。Aristotle解释说,当一个人盯着一个移动的刺激物,如水体中的波浪,然后把目光移开,他们所看的下一个东西就会出现波浪般的运动。当一个人感知到一个刺激物,而这个刺激物不再是他们注意的焦点时,就会留下印象。当身体清醒,感官功能正常时,人不断地遇到新的刺激物来感知,所以以前感知到的刺激物的印象就被忽略了。但是,在睡眠中,由于没有新的干扰感官体验,所以一整天的印象都会被注意到。所以,梦是这些持久印象的结果。由于留下的只是印象,而不是确切的刺激,所以梦境与实际的清醒经验并不相似。在睡眠中,人的精神状态发生了改变。亚里士多德把睡眠中的人比作一个对刺激物产生强烈感情的人。例如,一个对某人有强烈迷恋的人可能会开始认为他们到处都能看到那个人,因为他们被自己的感情冲昏了头脑。由于睡眠中的人处于易受暗示的状态,无法做出判断,所以很容易被梦中出现的东西所欺骗,就像那个痴情的人一样。这使人相信梦境是真实的,即使梦境的本质是荒谬的。在《德阿尼玛三世》3中,Aristotle把在没有知觉的情况下创造、储存和回忆形象的能力归结为想象力的能力,即幻觉。


One component of Aristotle's theory of dreams disagrees with previously held beliefs. He claimed that dreams are not foretelling and not sent by a divine being. Aristotle reasoned naturalistically that instances in which dreams do resemble future events are simply coincidences.模板:Sfn Aristotle claimed that a dream is first established by the fact that the person is asleep when they experience it. If a person had an image appear for a moment after waking up or if they see something in the dark it is not considered a dream because they were awake when it occurred. Secondly, any sensory experience that is perceived while a person is asleep does not qualify as part of a dream. For example, if, while a person is sleeping, a door shuts and in their dream they hear a door is shut, this sensory experience is not part of the dream. Lastly, the images of dreams must be a result of lasting impressions of waking sensory experiences.模板:Sfn

Aristotle的梦境理论中有一个内容与以前的信念不一致。他声称,梦不是预言,也不是由神灵发出的。Aristotle从自然主义的角度推理,梦境确实与未来事件相似的事例只是巧合。Aristotle称,梦的成立首先要看人在经历梦的时候是否睡着了。如果一个人在醒来后有一个影像出现了一会儿,或者他们在黑暗中看到了一些东西,就不认为是梦,因为当梦发生时他们是清醒的。其次,任何在人睡觉时被感知到的感官体验都不能算作梦的一部分。例如,如果一个人在睡觉的时候,一扇门关上了,而在梦中他们听到门被关上了,这种感官体验不属于梦的一部分。最后,梦中的影像必须是清醒的感官体验的持久印象的结果。

Just war theory

公理战役理论 Aristotelian just war theory is not well regarded in the present day, especially his view that warfare was justified to enslave "natural slaves". In Aristotelian philosophy, the abolition of what he considers "natural slavery" would undermine civic freedom. The pursuit of freedom is inseparable from pursuing mastery over "those who deserve to be slaves". According to The Cambridge Companion to Aristotle's Politics the targets of this aggressive warfare were non-Greeks, noting Aristotle's view that "our poets say 'it is proper for Greeks to rule non-Greeks'".模板:Sfn

According to The Cambridge Companion to Aristotle's Politics the targets of this aggressive warfare were non-Greeks, noting Aristotle's view that "our poets say 'it is proper for Greeks to rule non-Greeks'".

Aristotle的公理战役理论在今天并不受欢迎,特别是他认为战争是为了奴役 "自然奴隶 "而进行的正义战争。在Aristotle的哲学中,他认为“自然奴隶制”的废除会破坏公民自由。追求自由与追求掌握 "应该成为奴隶的人 "是分不开的。根据《剑桥亚里士多德政治指南》,这种侵略战争的对象是非希腊人,指出Aristotle的观点是 "我们的诗人说'希腊人统治非希腊人是合适的'"。

Aristotle generally has a favourable opinion of war, extolling it as a chance for virtue and writing that "the leisure that accompanies peace" tends to make people "arrogant". War to "avoid becoming enslaved to others" is justified as self-defense. He writes that war "compels people to be just and temperate", however, in order to be just "war must be chosen for the sake of peace" (with the exception of wars of aggression discussed above).模板:Sfn

Aristotle一般对战争持赞成态度,赞美战争是美德的机会,并写道:"伴随和平而来的闲暇 "容易使人 "傲慢"。为了 "避免成为他人的奴隶 "而进行的战争,是正当的自卫。他写道,战争 "迫使人们变得公正和节制",然而,为了公正,"必须为了和平而选择战争"(上文讨论的侵略战争除外)。


Ethics

伦理


Aristotle considered ethics to be a practical rather than theoretical study, i.e., one aimed at becoming good and doing good rather than knowing for its own sake. He wrote several treatises on ethics, including most notably, the Nicomachean Ethics.模板:Sfn

Aristotle considered ethics to be a practical rather than theoretical study, i.e., one aimed at becoming good and doing good rather than knowing for its own sake. He wrote several treatises on ethics, including most notably, the Nicomachean Ethics.

Aristotle认为伦理学是一门实践性的而非理论性的研究,即旨在向善和行善,而不是为了认识而认识。他写了几篇伦理学论文,其中最著名的是《尼各马可伦理学》。

Aristotle taught that virtue has to do with the proper function (ergon) of a thing. An eye is only a good eye in so much as it can see, because the proper function of an eye is sight. Aristotle reasoned that humans must have a function specific to humans, and that this function must be an activity of the psuchē (soul) in accordance with reason (logos). Aristotle identified such an optimum activity (the virtuous mean, between the accompanying vices of excess or deficiency模板:Sfn) of the soul as the aim of all human deliberate action, eudaimonia, generally translated as "happiness" or sometimes "well being". To have the potential of ever being happy in this way necessarily requires a good character (ēthikē aretē), often translated as moral or ethical virtue or excellence.模板:Sfn

To have the potential of ever being happy in this way necessarily requires a good character (ēthikē aretē), often translated as moral or ethical virtue or excellence.

Aristotle教导说,美德与事物的适当功能(ergon)有关。一只眼睛只有在它能看见的范围内才是一只好眼睛,因为眼睛的适当功能是视觉。Aristotle推理说,人必须有一种人类特有的功能,这种功能必须是符合理性(logos)的psuchē(灵魂)的活动。Aristotle把灵魂的这种最佳活动(在过剩或不足的与之相伴的恶习之间的良性平均)确定为人类一切刻意行动的目标,即eudaimonia,一般译为 "幸福",有时也译为 "安康"。要想以这种方式拥有永远幸福的潜力,必然需要良好的品格(ēthikē aretē),通常被译为道德或伦理的美德或卓越。

Aristotle taught that to achieve a virtuous and potentially happy character requires a first stage of having the fortune to be habituated not deliberately, but by teachers, and experience, leading to a later stage in which one consciously chooses to do the best things. When the best people come to live life this way their practical wisdom (phronesis) and their intellect (nous) can develop with each other towards the highest possible human virtue, the wisdom of an accomplished theoretical or speculative thinker, or in other words, a philosopher.模板:Sfn

Aristotle教导说,要达到一种有德行的、潜在的幸福的品格,需要有一个第一阶段的幸运,不是刻意的,而是通过老师、经验的熏陶,导致后期自觉地选择做最好的事情。当最优秀的人以这种方式来生活时,他们的实践智慧(实践理性)和他们的智力(理性)可以相互发展,朝着人类最高的美德,即一个有成就的理论或投机思想家的智慧,或者换句话说,一个哲学家的智慧发展。


Politics

政治


In addition to his works on ethics, which address the individual, Aristotle addressed the city in his work titled Politics. Aristotle considered the city to be a natural community. Moreover, he considered the city to be prior in importance to the family which in turn is prior to the individual, "for the whole must of necessity be prior to the part".模板:Sfn He famously stated that "man is by nature a political animal" and argued that humanity's defining factor among others in the animal kingdom is its rationality.模板:Sfn Aristotle conceived of politics as being like an organism rather than like a machine, and as a collection of parts none of which can exist without the others. Aristotle's conception of the city is organic, and he is considered one of the first to conceive of the city in this manner.模板:Sfn

Aristotle除了在他的伦理学著作中论述个人外,还在他题为《政治学》的著作中论述了城市。Aristotle认为城市是一个自然共同体。此外,他认为城市的重要性高于家庭,而家庭又高于个人,"因为整体必然高于部分"。他有句名言:"人在本质上是一种政治动物",认为人类在动物界其他动物中的决定性因素是其理性。Aristotle把政治设想为像一个有机体而不是像一台机器,是一个部分的集合,其中任何一个部分都不能离开其他部分而存在。Aristotle的城市概念是有机的,他被认为是最早以这种方式设想城市的人之一。

Aristotle对政治宪法的分类

The common modern understanding of a political community as a modern state is quite different from Aristotle's understanding. Although he was aware of the existence and potential of larger empires, the natural community according to Aristotle was the city (polis) which functions as a political "community" or "partnership" (koinōnia). The aim of the city is not just to avoid injustice or for economic stability, but rather to allow at least some citizens the possibility to live a good life, and to perform beautiful acts: "The political partnership must be regarded, therefore, as being for the sake of noble actions, not for the sake of living together." This is distinguished from modern approaches, beginning with social contract theory, according to which individuals leave the state of nature because of "fear of violent death" or its "inconveniences."模板:Efn-ua

现代人对作为现代国家的政治共同体的普遍理解与Aristotle的理解大相径庭。尽管他意识到更大帝国的存在和潜力,但Aristotle认为的自然共同体是作为政治 "共同体 "或 "伙伴关系"(koinōnia)的城市(城邦)。城市的目的不仅仅是为了避免不公正,也不仅仅是为了经济稳定,而是至少要让一些公民有可能过上好的生活,有可能做出美好的行为。"因此,政治伙伴关系必须被视为是为了高尚的行为,而不是为了共同生活。" 这有别于从社会契约论开始的现代方法,根据这种方法,个人因为 "害怕暴力死亡 "或其 "不便 "而离开自然状态。

因为我们都认为,最优秀的人应该是统治者,也就是本质上的最高者,法律的统治,只有法律才是权威的;但法律是一种智慧,也就是以智慧为基础的话语。再如,我们有什么标准,有什么好东西的标准,比聪明人更精确呢?因为这个人会选择的所有东西,如果是基于他的知识而选择的,都是好东西,而它们的反面是坏东西。既然每个人都会选择最符合自己适当性情的东西(一个公正的人选择公正地生活,一个勇敢的人选择勇敢地生活,同样,一个自制的人选择自制地生活),那么很明显,聪明的人最会选择聪明的东西;因为这是这种能力的功能。因此,很明显,根据最权威的判断,智慧在商品中是至高无上的。

For the sake of convenience, people then agreed to deal in something that is intrinsically useful and easily applicable, such as iron or silver.

Aristotle对经济思想,特别是对中世纪的思想做出了实质性的贡献。在《政治学》中,Aristotle论述了城市、财产和贸易问题。在莱昂内尔•罗宾斯Lionel Robbins看来,他对私有财产批评的回应,预见到了后来哲学家和经济学家中私有财产的支持者,因为它关系到社会安排的整体效用。Aristotle认为,虽然公有制安排看似对社会有益,虽然私有财产常常被指责为社会纷争的原因,但这种弊端其实来自于人性。在《政治学》中,Aristotle对货币的起源提出了一个最早的说法。货币之所以会被使用,是因为人们开始相互依赖,进口自己需要的东西,出口多余的东西。为了方便起见,人们便同意用铁或银等本质上有用且容易适用的东西进行交易。


Aristotle's discussions on retail and interest was a major influence on economic thought in the Middle Ages. He had a low opinion of retail, believing that contrary to using money to procure things one needs in managing the household, retail trade seeks to make a profit. It thus uses goods as a means to an end, rather than as an end unto itself. He believed that retail trade was in this way unnatural. Similarly, Aristotle considered making a profit through interest unnatural, as it makes a gain out of the money itself, and not from its use.模板:Sfn

Aristotle关于零售和利息的讨论对中世纪的经济思想产生了重大影响。他不看好零售业,认为零售业与用金钱来采购自己管理家庭所需的东西相反,零售业追求的是利润。因此,它把商品作为达到目的的手段,而不是作为目的本身。他认为,零售贸易在这种方式上是不自然的。同样,Aristotle认为,通过利息获利是不自然的,因为它从货币本身而不是从货币的使用中获得收益。

Aristotle gave a summary of the function of money that was perhaps remarkably precocious for his time. He wrote that because it is impossible to determine the value of every good through a count of the number of other goods it is worth, the necessity arises of a single universal standard of measurement. Money thus allows for the association of different goods and makes them "commensurable".模板:Sfn He goes on to state that money is also useful for future exchange, making it a sort of security. That is, "if we do not want a thing now, we shall be able to get it when we do want it".模板:Sfn

Aristotle总结了货币的功能,对于他那个时代来说,这个概念可能是非常早熟的。他写道,由于不可能通过计算每件商品的价值来确定它的价值,因此有必要制定一个统一的衡量标准。因此,货币可以把不同的商品联系起来,使它们 "可通约"。他接着说,货币对于未来的交换也是有用的,使它成为一种保障。也就是说,"如果我们现在不想要一件东西,那么当我们想要的时候,我们就能够得到它"。

Aristotle的《修辞学》提出,演讲者可以使用三种基本的呼吁来说服他的听众:ethos(对演讲者性格的呼吁)、pathos(对听众情感的呼吁)和logos(对逻辑推理的呼吁)。他还将修辞分为三种类型:epideictic(礼仪性演讲,涉及赞美或指责)、forensic(司法性演讲,涉及有罪或无罪)和deliberative(呼吁听众就某一问题做出决定的演讲)。Aristotle还概述了两种修辞学的证明:省略推理法(推论证明)和paradeigma(例证证明)。

Comedy, for instance, is a dramatic imitation of men worse than average; whereas tragedy imitates men slightly better than average. Lastly, the forms differ in their manner of imitation – through narrative or character, through change or no change, and through drama or no drama.

Aristotle在他的《诗学》中写道,史诗、悲剧、喜剧、二律诗、绘画、雕塑、音乐和舞蹈从根本上说都是模仿行为(“模仿”) ,每一种都因媒介、对象和方式的不同而不同。他把拟态一词既作为艺术作品的一种属性,又作为艺术家意图的产物,认为观众对拟态的实现对理解作品本身至关重要。亚里士多德指出,拟态是人类区别于动物的一种自然本能,人类的一切艺术创作都 "遵循自然的模式"。正因为如此,Aristotle认为,每一种模仿艺术都拥有斯蒂芬•哈利维尔所说的 "实现其目的的高度结构化的程序"。例如,音乐是以节奏与和谐为媒介进行模仿的,而舞蹈则仅以节奏进行模仿,诗歌则以语言进行模仿。在模仿的对象上,形式也有所不同。比如喜剧是模仿比一般人差的人的戏剧性;而悲剧则是模仿比一般人稍好的人。最后,形式在模仿的方式上也有不同——通过叙事或人物,通过变化或不变化,通过戏剧或不戏剧。


While it is believed that Aristotle's Poetics originally comprised two books – one on comedy and one on tragedy – only the portion that focuses on tragedy has survived. Aristotle taught that tragedy is composed of six elements: plot-structure, character, style, thought, spectacle, and lyric poetry.模板:Sfn The characters in a tragedy are merely a means of driving the story; and the plot, not the characters, is the chief focus of tragedy. Tragedy is the imitation of action arousing pity and fear, and is meant to effect the catharsis of those same emotions. Aristotle concludes Poetics with a discussion on which, if either, is superior: epic or tragic mimesis. He suggests that because tragedy possesses all the attributes of an epic, possibly possesses additional attributes such as spectacle and music, is more unified, and achieves the aim of its mimesis in shorter scope, it can be considered superior to epic.模板:Sfn Aristotle was a keen systematic collector of riddles, folklore, and proverbs; he and his school had a special interest in the riddles of the Delphic Oracle and studied the fables of Aesop.模板:Sfn

虽然人们认为Aristotle的《诗学》最初是由两部书组成——一部论述喜剧,一部论述悲剧,但只有集中论述悲剧的部分留存了下来。Aristotle认为悲剧由六个要素组成: 情节结构、人物、风格、思想、景观和抒情诗。悲剧中的人物只是推动故事发展的一种手段; 悲剧的主要焦点是情节,而不是人物。悲剧是对引起怜悯和恐惧的行为的模仿,是为了达到宣泄这些相同情感的效果。Aristotle在《诗学》的最后,讨论了史诗和悲剧模仿哪一个更优越。他认为,由于悲剧具有史诗的所有属性,可能还具有诸如景观和音乐等额外的属性,更加统一,并在较短的范围内达到了模仿的目的,因此可以认为它优于史诗。Aristotle热衷于系统地收集谜语、民间传说和谚语; 他和他的学派对特尔菲神谕的谜语特别感兴趣,并研究了伊索寓言。

More than 2300 years after his death, Aristotle remains one of the most influential people who ever lived.

Aristotle去世2300多年后,他仍然是有史以来最有影响力的人物之一。他对当时存在的人类知识的几乎每一个领域都做出了贡献,他还是许多新领域的创始人。哲学家布莱恩 · 马吉Bryan Magee认为,“很怀疑是否有人像他一样知道这么多。”。在无数的成就中,Aristotle是形式逻辑的创始人,开创了动物学研究,他对科学方法的贡献让每一个未来的科学家和哲学家都感激不尽。狄克礼•库克宁Taneli Kukkonen 在《古典传统》一书中写道,他在创立两门科学方面的成就是无与伦比的,他在影响“知识事业的每一个分支” ,包括西方伦理和政治理论、神学、修辞学和文学分析的影响也同样长久。因此,Kukkonen 认为,今天对现实的任何分析“几乎肯定会带有Aristotle的色彩... ... 证明他的思想异常强大。”乔纳森•巴恩斯Jonathan Barnes写道: “对Aristotle的知识后世的描述将不亚于一部欧洲思想史。”。

据说19世纪德国哲学家弗里德里希·尼采Friedrich Nietzsche的政治哲学几乎全部来自于Aristotle。Aristotle严格地将行动与生产分离开来,并主张某些人(“自然奴隶”)应得的服从,而另一些人的自然优越感(美德,受到尊重)。是马丁·海德格尔Martin Heidegger而不是Nietzsche,阐述了对Aristotle的新诠释,意图证明他对学术和哲学传统的解构。

The English mathematician George Boole fully accepted Aristotle's logic, but decided "to go under, over, and beyond" it with his system of algebraic logic in his 1854 book The Laws of Thought. This gives logic a mathematical foundation with equations, enables it to solve equations as well as check validity, and allows it to handle a wider class of problems by expanding propositions of any number of terms, not just two.模板:Sfn

在20世纪,Aristotle的著作受到广泛的批评。哲学家伯特兰·罗素Bertrand Russell认为,“几乎每一次重大的知识进步都必须从攻击Aristotle的某些学说开始”。Aristotle的伦理学是“令人厌恶”的 ,并称他的逻辑学“和托勒密Ptolemaic的天文学一样过时”。Russell指出,这些错误使得人们很难公正地看待Aristotle,直到人们想起他对他所有的前辈所做的进步。

The Dutch historian of science Eduard Jan Dijksterhuis wrote that Aristotle and his predecessors showed the difficulty of science by "proceed[ing] so readily to frame a theory of such a general character" on limited evidence from their senses.模板:Sfn In 1985, the biologist Peter Medawar could still state in "pure seventeenth century"模板:Sfn tones that Aristotle had assembled "a strange and generally speaking rather tiresome farrago of hearsay, imperfect observation, wishful thinking and credulity amounting to downright gullibility".模板:Sfn模板:Sfn

The Dutch historian of science Eduard Jan Dijksterhuis wrote that Aristotle and his predecessors showed the difficulty of science by "proceed[ing] so readily to frame a theory of such a general character" on limited evidence from their senses. In 1985, the biologist Peter Medawar could still state in "pure seventeenth century" tones that Aristotle had assembled "a strange and generally speaking rather tiresome farrago of hearsay, imperfect observation, wishful thinking and credulity amounting to downright gullibility".

荷兰科学史家迪克斯特休伊斯爱德华·简 Eduard Jan Dijksterhuis写道,Aristotle和他的前辈们通过 "如此轻易地根据他们的感官提供的有限证据来构筑这样一种一般性的理论",显示了科学的困难。1985年,生物学家彼得•梅达瓦Peter Medawar仍然可以用 "纯正的十七世纪 "的语气说,Aristotle集合了 "一种奇怪的、一般说来相当令人厌烦的传闻、不完善的观察、一厢情愿的想法和相当于完全轻信的可信度"。

By the start of the 21st century, however, Aristotle was taken more seriously: Kukkonen noted that "In the best 20th-century scholarship Aristotle comes alive as a thinker wrestling with the full weight of the Greek philosophical tradition."模板:Sfn Alasdair MacIntyre has attempted to reform what he calls the Aristotelian tradition in a way that is anti-elitist and capable of disputing the claims of both liberals and Nietzscheans.模板:Sfn Kukkonen observed, too, that "that most enduring of romantic images, Aristotle tutoring the future conqueror Alexander" remained current, as in the 2004 film Alexander, while the "firm rules" of Aristotle's theory of drama have ensured a role for the Poetics in Hollywood.模板:Sfn

然而,到了21世纪初,Aristotle受到了更多的重视。Kukkonen指出,"在20世纪最好的学术研究中,Aristotle作为一个思想家与希腊哲学传统的全部重量相抗衡,活灵活现。" 阿拉斯戴尔•麦金泰尔Alasdair MacIntyre试图以一种反精英主义的方式改革他所谓的亚里士多德传统,并能够与自由主义者和尼采主义者的主张相争 。Kukkonen 还指出,“Aristotle对未来的征服者亚历山大的指导,是最经久不衰的浪漫主义形象” ,正如2004年的电影《亚历山大》一样,而Aristotle戏剧理论的“坚定规则”确保了《诗学》在好莱坞的地位。

The works of Aristotle that have survived from antiquity through medieval manuscript transmission are collected in the Corpus Aristotelicum. These texts, as opposed to Aristotle's lost works, are technical philosophical treatises from within Aristotle's school. Reference to them is made according to the organization of Immanuel Bekker's Royal Prussian Academy edition (Aristotelis Opera edidit Academia Regia Borussica, Berlin, 1831–1870), which in turn is based on ancient classifications of these works.模板:Sfn

Aristotle的著作是通过中世纪手稿传播而从古代流传下来的,现收藏在亚里士多德文集中。这些文本,相对于Aristotle失传的著作,是Aristotle派内部的技术性哲学论著。参考他们是根据伊曼纽尔贝克的普鲁士皇家学院版(Aristotle的歌剧编辑委员会学术区,柏林,1831-1870年)的编排 ,而这一编排又是基于古代对这些著作的分类来进行的。

Aristotle wrote his works on papyrus scrolls, the common writing medium of that era.}His writings are divisible into two groups: the "exoteric", intended for the public, and the "esoteric", for use within the Lyceum school. Aristotle's "lost" works stray considerably in characterization from the surviving Aristotelian corpus. Whereas the lost works appear to have been originally written with a view to subsequent publication, the surviving works mostly resemble lecture notes not intended for publication. Cicero's description of Aristotle's literary style as "a river of gold" must have applied to the published works, not the surviving notes.A major question in the history of Aristotle's works is how the exoteric writings were all lost, and how the ones we now possess came to us. The consensus is that Andronicus of Rhodes collected the esoteric works of Aristotle's school which existed in the form of smaller, separate works, distinguished them from those of Theophrastus and other Peripatetics, edited them, and finally compiled them into the more cohesive, larger works as they are known today.

Aristotle把他的作品写在纸莎草纸卷上,这是当时常见的书写媒介。他的著作可分为两类: 面向公众的“通俗”著作,以及在吕克昂学院内部使用的“深奥”著作。Aristotle的 "遗失 "的作品在表征上与现存的亚里士多德文集大相径庭。遗失的作品似乎最初是为了以后的出版而写的,而现存的作品则大多类似于不打算出版的讲义。Aristotle的文学风格描述为“黄金之河” ,这一定适用于已出版的作品,而不是现存的笔记。Aristotle著作史上的一个主要问题是,那些公开的著作是如何全部丢失的,而我们现在拥有的那些著作又是如何来到我们这里的。人们一致认为,罗德岛的Andronicus收集了亚里士多德学派的,以较小的、独立的作品形式存在的深奥作品,将它们与Theophrastus和其他学派的作品区分开来,对它们进行编辑,最后将它们汇编成今天人们所熟知的更具凝聚力的、更大的作品。

几个世纪以来,包括老卢卡斯·克拉纳赫Lucas Cranach the Elder,贾斯特斯•范绅士 Justus van Gent,Raphael,保罗·委罗内塞 Paolo Veronese,胡塞佩·德·里贝拉,伦勃朗Rembrandt,和 弗朗西斯科·海兹Francesco Hayez 等主要艺术家都曾描绘过Aristotle的形象。其中最著名的是Raphael在梵蒂冈使徒宫的壁画《雅典学校》 ,Plato和Aristotle的形象是图像的中心,处于建筑的消失点,反映了他们的重要性。Rembrandt的《亚里士多德与荷马半身像》也是一幅著名的作品,展示了早年的知识渊博的哲学家和盲人荷马: 正如艺术评论家乔纳森 · 琼斯 Jonathan Jones所写的,“这幅画仍将是世界上最伟大、最神秘的画作之一,让我们沉浸于发霉、发光、漆黑、可怕的时间知识中"。
