Features: Throughout the entire history of humanity, there has been almost no one like Aristotle, who, as all creations of ancient civilizations slowly set on the horizon like a dying sun, grasped a moment of eternity, built a vast conceptual system on the foundations of thought and form, broke through previous frameworks, and embarked on a path of discovery. This is a popular introduction to Aristotle and his main ideas. He was another great thinker in the ancient history of the world after Plato, and also a famous scientist and educator, a synthesizer of all intellectual achievements of classical Greece. Marx and Engels called him "the greatest encyclopedia of the ancient world, an outstanding representative and reformer of Greek science, and the most learned person of the ancient world." He pioneered entirely new academic fields such as formal logic, zoology, and biological classification, and enriched and developed various branches of philosophy, making significant contributions to science. As a great, encyclopedic scientist, his literary output is unmatched, especially in his contributions to every discipline of philosophy.
