True generosity is giving wisely and in proportion-neither self-sacrifice nor pure self-interest, but a reasoned balance. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Aristotle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aristotle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Virtue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Virtue</span></a> </p><p>1/2</p>
jan“Aristotle’s teleological view of nature may be summarized as “Nature does nothing in vain.” Using this regulative principle, Aristotle realized that the understanding of function and purpose is crucial to the understanding of nature. … One can see in these…principles the germ of relational biology: a natural system is alive not because of its matter, but because of the constitutive organization of its phenomenological entailment. The esse of an organism is this special entailment…”<br>—Aloisius H.

jan“With gross simplification, one may say that Plato took his stand on idealistic principles, so that the general implies the particular, while Aristotle based his investigations on the physical world, so that the particular also predicts the general. Plato’s method is essentially deductive, while Aristotle’s is both inductive and deductive. Stated otherwise, for Plato the world takes its shape from ideas, whereas for Aristotle ideas take their shape from the world”<br>—Aloisius H.

jan“Aristotle was concerned with γνώσις, i.e. knowledge in its original general sense. He contended that one did not really know a ‘thing’…until one had answered its ‘why?’ with its αίτιον (primary or original ‘cause’). … Aristotle’s original Greek term αίτιον (aition) was translated into the Latin causa, a word which…unfortunately diverged into our contemporary notion of ‘cause’, as ‘that which produces an effect’. …a more appropriate Latin rendering, in hindsight, would probably have been explanatio.”<br>—Aloisius H.

Bevan Thomas<p>In the Middle Ages, many people believed the classical philosophers and poets had been so wise that they must have mastered magic.
