“Aristotle was born around 384 BC in the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia, where his father was the royal doctor. He grew up to be arguably the most influential philosopher ever, with modest nicknames like ‘the master’, and simply ‘the philosopher’. One of his big jobs was tutoring Alexander the Great, who soon after went out and conquered the known world...”

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
Aristotle
Aristotle never uttered those words: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.”
- Will Durant, 1926
@Σωκρατης Σωφρονισκου Αθηναιος I am saying that Aristotle did not say
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Will Durant said that quote.
Plato was a student of Socrates.
Plato mentoredAristotle.
Aristotle mentored Alexander the Great
@@PatrickWanisPHD No i m pretty sure Kevin Durant said that.
i agree
'Katharsis, which is Greek for: catharsis' I don't know why I found that so hilarious
+The School of Life Can you please do one for Socrates?
+whalbringma because it's pretty much wrong. Κάθαρσις is the Greek word and catharsis is derived from that. Greeks didn't use the latin alphabet back then. In modern Greek it's called κάθαρση. Great video nevertheless !
+ΣΚΡΟΥΤΖ ΜΑΚ ΝΤΑΚ Literal much.
Jarl Jackson Surviving by mere luck in a world of metaphor
+Yahya K I liked that one, too as I am myself Greek. Only the intonation is wrong. In Greek the tone is in the first syllable, CAtharsis. Not caTHArsis. ;-)
"He worked with Plato a little bit..." Actually 20 years!
... maybe 8

Relatable
Matheus Lacerda he was also dangerously sexist,he would be just a crazy old man nowadays
@@olderwomenenthusiast6147 Most people were at the time.
@@matepavic6929 Plato is strikingly egalitarian, at least in the Republic. He is not "not a sexist" by the strictest definition, but it's almost shocking to see him write that women are to be treated just like men in his kallipolis, and defend it with argument. They can even become philosopher-queens.
Note that the kallipolis is an analogue for the human soul, so Plato (via Socrates) essentially argues that women are just as worthy of philosophical pursuit and perfecting their souls as men. Aristotle, on the other hand, is not so progressive.
Aristotle is talking about individuals. He would also consider it unbecoming to make light of everything, so some people are in fact righteously indignified (another virtue), and even sticking with this virtue, it is good to be serious about some things. That is the whole point of moderation.
I wish philosophers would play a more important role today!
+Alex Ander Ted Talks is quite popular but yeah the entertainment business gets way too much attention, so many psychos in there and people look up to them. More education is needed.
With this idea we could have better rulers I mean philosophers-rulers.
Funny enough, Plato had said exactly that.
They're just called 'authors' now, or 'futurists'
Real philosophers are out changing the world as we post. Stefan Molyneux is a good example. But you are right, most "philosophers" are professors stuck in their ivory towers, not out spreading their philosophy to the world (if they have even created anything).
"not scolding and prisons, but better teachers and more guidance." this.
Prisons should be about rehabilitation and not simply confinement. The idea that just locking someone up will solve everyones problems is ludicrous,
What about the people who are virtuous and kind. So if you don't act out and be an ass to society you're ignored. That is a great message you are sending to our youth. What if you are a VICTIM to this re offender?
What if you have a brain tumor? Can you get guidance when you have a brain tumor?
Kelly oxo No, but I'm fairly sure you don't get put in prison or scolded for it either. And actually come to think of it where I'm from you can get counselling for dealing with the emotional side of life threatening illnesses.

bruh i wish philosophy was an elective at school. I LOVE IT!
I wish it was one of the main courses
it really should be, each individuum and the whole of society would greatly profit from this.
I find it really sad that I had to wait until College to take a philosophy course. Though it shows why the world is how it is I suppose.
I always wanted to take AP Philosophy.
Here, in Portugal, it's a mandatory subject through 10th and 11th grade. We usually have to take a national written exam on Philosophy at the end of 11th grade, as well. Right now, I'm studying Aristotelian Logic.
We actually have a really good education system, despite our current economic struggles. Some students just don't make the best of it. Well, that and our job market is terrible right now. Most of our graduates are emigrating to France, England, Spain, etc.
Now, I feel like rambling for a bit, so if anyone's a bit curious about our school system, do read on. If not, a good day to you, fellow sir, madam and/or apache.
__
Portugal's school system is almost upside down, in comparison to the American, for example, in the sense that our public schools have, generally, (much) better education than the private ones. But I'm well aware that USA's private universities are among the best in the world.
First, we have what we call Basic School (1st-9th grade), composed of 3 "Cycles" (literally translated).
After this, you have to enter one of the many Professional Courses (which are more job-oriented, although they're usually seen kind of badly, because it was the sort of education you'd get before the Carnation Revolution of 1974), or you have to choose a field between "Sciences and Technologies", "Socioeconomic Sciences", "Languages and Humanities" or "Visual Arts". These are collectively called the "Scientific-Humanitarian Courses".
These 4 all have the same core subjects (Portuguese; a second language, though we learn a 3rd language during the 3rd Cycle; Philosophy and Physical Education) and then each field branches out with their own subjects (you do have to choose from some of them). All Secondary Schools teach these 4 fields and sometimes professional courses.
These are the most common options for education, from 10th to 12th grade, but there some more.
For example, right now, I'm half a month into 11th grade, in a Specialised Artistic Course (same core subjects, plus History of Culture and Arts, Drawing A, along with quite a few others, depending on which specialisation you choose).
There are only two Specialised Artistic Schools in Portugal, which are the "Escola Artística de Soares dos Reis" (the best one, of course), and the "Escola Artística de António Arroio".
A "Mini-Bauhaus", like some of our teachers call it.
Yet again, if you're curious about the names, Soares dos Reis was a very important Portuguese sculptor from the 19th Century, although he wasn't very recognised and/or understood. Search for images of "O Desterrado", one of his best pieces.
On the other hand, António Arroio was an engineer, critic, politician and teacher that, between other things, promoted art and technical education in Portugal.
Alright then, this is plenty enough. Thank you for reading.
I'll get off your lawn now.
Good day!
I live just 30 minutes away by car from Aristotle's school here in Makedonia. Walking around makes you travel back in time and think of him teaching people like Alexander the Great at that same place...Greetings from northern Greece, Pella-the heartland of Makedonia.

Is that success or failure of the philosophical enterprise?
@@Simpaulme neither one. Aristotle is not responsible for Alexander´s actions. We are still learning useful things from Aristotle´s life. What can we learn from Alexander´s life? In my opinion, Alexander, Julius Cesar, and Napoleon, and other similar men, were just mass murderers, who brought chaos, death, tragedy, to thousands of people who lived far away from them, who were not causing any harm to them, just for the "glory" of conquering more land. History should praise more the thinkers than those futile murderers. On the other hand, these other three men, Socrates, Plato, and Aristoteles, have been a completely different influence in the world for more than two thousand years.
@@alfredomedina5835people were just far different back then , they believed in prophecy and destiny especially royalty. These men were just a product of their time and not necessarily evil. Everything is not always as black and white as you think , also everyone has the capacity for great good or great evil within them.
Correction and fun facts. Aristotle actually studied and worked at Plato's school Akademia for nearly 20 years before leaving for Macedonia and then coming back to Athens again to open his own school. Plato had two nicknames for him. The first was "The Mind" . When Aristotle wasnt at class Plato would say" The Mind is absent and my audience is deaf " . And because Aristotle would often choose to stay at home and study on his own Plato would also refer to him as "The Reader"(he was a huge bookworm since early age . His father was a doctor and Aristotle grew up reading his books.)
Yessss that’s what I was thinking!!!! And also the video says that Aristotle invented rhetoric but I don’t think that’s right because the sophists already talked about it back in the day (not sure tho I just remember that from my philosophy class)
@@AriadnaGrauInfintyBlue you are right, rhetoric as a practice pro-existed of course and so did other scholars like the sophists, but Aristotle wrote three books (which all together are called Rhetoric) which analyze and explain rhetoric and its methods, structure etc. It's a complete treatise (a disquisition) of the theory of rhetoric, consisted of three books, including 60 chapters. A complete theory. Rhetoric was very influencial in this tradition and his analysis on logic and its influence continued in the 19th century. That's why he is called the father of rhetoric , among other things.
Also, Aristotle's Rhetoric and the sophists' rhetoric is not the exact same thing. You can find more info on that googling Aristotle's (or even Plato's) criticism on sophistical rhetoric. :)

love this video. its truly amazing to me how Aristotle born in 384 BC resolved and acknowledged, thoughts and problems we have today in the modern world. I do know that by our efforts and practice we can all be virtuous. Much wisdom i have gained while being a peripatetic. There is so much excess with in society today, that was projected in his teachings, before the high tech, iphone age was even known of. Lets be happy and connect face to face and not be separated by a screen.
Wow!
So true.

@@farazhussain4714 pathetic
@@ignacioandresadasme8553 Lol.
Why pathetic?
I think it's a conceit of the modern age to assume that those who came before us were somehow less than we are today. Why wouldn't Aristotle have acknowledged the problems of our society and complexity of our thoughts, then attempted to resolve them. (Note: I said "attempted.") I imagine there were plenty of others in cultures all over the world, who lived before Aristotle who also posited the same questions and attempted to resolve them. As we are, today, attempting to do the same as we struggle with the same problems that have always plagued humanity. Just because technology has changed, it doesn't mean human beings have.
history repeat itself
It's crazy how good these videos are. Not a second to spare - literally perfect summation of so many deep thinkers in
favorite channel at the moment thank your for actually teaching me about life so much in these videos invokes you to analyze yourself and all life choices with new "REAL" knowledge that give you new perspectives on what virtues you carry, what your interests are, what you wish your future the list goes on and on, but it is like being in a Socratic discussion something i didn't even understand or know about until your video on Plato. I am just some kid a year out of high school and do not really know what I want to do with my life and your videos are making me really get some clairvoyance on what my next move will be and how i wish to conduct myself as a person and be interpreted by others. just seeing my vices are showing me my true character and hopefully gonna help me become a more virtuous person with effort into creating good habit.
thank you for these and keep them up !
Nice to see a video that talks about the good, relevant and practical parts about Aristotle's life and teaching.
While Aristotle was wrong about some things (Flies having four legs springs to mind), it is rather tiring to listen to and/or watch videos that do nothing but bash Aristotle.
Makedonche cough john green cough.
It is because of the works of such great minds from Greece and those alike, there is hope in this world.
I sometimes struggle to find words to articulate my liking for knowledge from Greece.
I don't know. I just like it. Like it a lot!
Bravo! I love the way this channel communicates its summary of the person. This man so eloquently eases information into your mind without prolong chatter or extreme sarcasm like some other history channels. Well done and thank u

Love your books! I'm an avid fan, I have status anxiety and consolations of philosophy. Great books that really illustrate the practicality of Philosophy in the 21st century.
The video series is also quite successful and I really enjoy them
The vastness of ideas and philosophy fascinates me; like a childlike enthusiasm. My emotions and feelings get heightened and I can also feel a calmness within it. Taking about it makes my eyes glister.
I love the feeling. Does it happen to others too? This channel introduced me to many great thinkers. I also love the way these videos are crafted.
I believe that I commented on your Marcel Proust video about a year ago saying, "I know what I'm binging on this summer." However, here I am still here rewatching your videos. I am a philosophy major and love to watch your brief videos before we begin going over any particular philosopher. It helps by introducing me to terms so when we go over it in class I already have a general idea. Thank you for your input to youtube.
This is where the answer is, to learn more about history and philosophy. Thanks for creating these channel.
Simply poetry in motion, this content is overwhelming refreshing to my cognition and I thank you abundantly. Priceless appreciation for resourceful content.
5:58 Perfectly sums up why societal progress is painfully slow. Fantastic work guys, keep it up!
I've been following your account for quite a few years now, and I have to say this is one of my favourite videos. I continually come back to it and it's very well done. Thank you for continuing to make great videos, and inspiring us to do better, even with explanation as to why. Your channel has helped me decide I wanted to study philosophy in school, and so far its been one of the best experiences I've had, so thank you.
This is a wonderful video. I'm amazed that every time I hear The Master's wisdom, I feel inspiration anew!
I learned a lot and it really helped me build up my mind and it added my knowledge about aristotle and many other philosophers. Thanks to you The School of Life. :) I hope you'd upload more.

Thanks for your videos @the School of Life! I didn't have the option to study Philosophy and this is a great introduction into some of the influential figures in history. Really appreciate the time and effort that goes into making of each video. The content creation, animation and narration work great in combination! Thanks to your team!
"Gets Kate Winslet - great, then hits an Iceberg - awful". haha.

Thank you. These summarized videos help a great deal for someone like myself who has never taken a formal class in philosophy.
Infinitely Thank You for making these videos! You are giving,remind us of and creating so much value. Thank you!💖
I was reading an article online about the most influential people in human history and Aristotle was number 14 behind Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Gandhi, Moses, Buddha and other figures and it said he was the sole basis of all sciences for nearly 2 thousand years. I love the way he thought.
Well said. Aristotle is one of my favourite philosophers; and one of the first to examine the natural world, maybe one of the first biologist. Aristotle studied, and categorized over 500 species of animals.

"katharsis which is greek for catharsis"

As a Greek I cringe at all the pronounciations XD
I am a Greek and I major in philosophy in the university of Patras (cliche maybe) and I just finished studying for my exam on Aristotle this Friday, it saddens me that his lesson's are not been employed in today's world as they should.
I had Philosophy for two years in Highschool and it seemed so uninteresting, but now I am watching the videos from this Chanel and I am enjoying it sooo much, too much even
I just found this channel yesterdayy and it´s full of wisdom, thank you!
Aristotle is great! His words should be taught in school! People NEED to hear what he has to say. I imagine the world might be a bit better if Aristotle had been in the education system...
Indeed...
It is here in italian schools! I'm watching these videos to prepare myself for Philosophy, the new subject we'll study soon :)
If you could go into greater detail about his logos, pathos and ethos definitions that would be amazing
I remember the first time I studied the Nichomachean Ethics (an English translation) and the illumination it gave me as a young man. It has helped me cope with many challenges throughout my life and still does to this day. It has helped me to be a better person.
You can really hear how much fun Allain had talking about Aristotle :D Nice Video! :)
Why am I being more educated in the internet than in school
😁😁😁
I like this video.
It makes me sad that other readers of Aristotle's work don't see that we was doing more than writing disconnected musings on different topics. He was creating one body of work; connecting the pieces creates something larger and more complete. He's a very beautiful thinker.
Just discovered this channel and loving the videos. Thank you.
I really enjoy your videos, thank you for making these!
Brilliant! I adore Aristotle, and I loved this introduction to him. Congratulations to whoever created it!
This man is amazing!
I had philosophy and sociology at school.
Elective subjects weren't a thing on my country (I think they may have changed it nowadays), but we did have extra classes, which didn't weigh in anything (you couldn't really fail them, because you weren't graded), one of them was history of arts.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to study all of those and even if at the time I was relatively interested in them, I realize now that when I was younger I just didn't give this kind of stuff enough credit or attention.
It's crazy how much more interesting some things are after some years have passed.
Absolutely love philosophy, especially Aristotel :)
Great for my high school project
Great stuff / work.
I think one day the art of compressing information/message to short but meaningful and not stupid form will be recognised as a true art :)
The ultimate question is: Did that cactus just flip me off at 0:55 ?
OMFG HE DID

Thank you for the videos. I apreciate the effort you put into making them - they are so clear and easy to watch, yet so entertaining and pleasant to listen to.
Today: self-improvement
Then: philosophy
The photos for true friendship were arguably the best part 😊
Damn, the part 4 is so short but is SO GOOD. It's amazing, like, jaw dropping, how you were able to condense some of the most prominent problems in Arguments on thoses phrases.
Complex ideas explained in a simple manner well said!
So common words! In Modern Greek, the word peripeteia means adventure! Almost unbelievable how cultured our forefathers were when compared to us.

Greetings from Greece!
Birthgiver of Phillosophy and Democracy!
Also, Greek seconday school is called Lykeio (Λύκειο). pronounced something like Leek-ee-oh
0:12 Meanwhile Sokrates said the quote "I know that I know nothing", a humble view of oneself and a sort of way of approaching life and success.
His way of thinking and critical judgement on politics including critique of democracy is something no one looks at today, especially as his message may be controversial.
In that he argued the masses shouldn't be allowed to govern the country as you don't let passengers sail a ship over trained experienced captains.
He argued that the wise and educated with sound thoughts and thinking should be allowed to rule. He himself never saw himself as worthy to judge others, even under pressure and accepted his death sentence in the hand of a majority vote by mass.
this video made my heart happy
Well explained! Your videos make me love philosophy already...
Aristotle is the boss man, incredible that his philosophies penned thousands of years ago rings true till today
"We're keen students of Aristotle" haha nice one!!
These are some very well thought out videos! Great job!
I'm just reading his Metaphysics right now for the first time; it's packed with lots of thinking! Every time I read Aristotle, I feel like that Philosophy Statue thinking deeply. Once I finish Metaphysics, I'm going to read his Nicomachean Ethics.
Make an episode on Hume!
I am 27 and yet so many important things to learn. Thank you.
This has been a good and conclusive video about this subject! Thank you for making it!
Thanks for the video!
Aristotle - Greatest philosopher and scientist of ancient Greece and ancient world by far..!
I fell in Love with Physics in 2012, thanks to the Legendary Teacher 'Puneet Daryani' who taught us at IITians Pace, Nerul, Navi Mumbai. He really triggered the Thirst for Proof in me. Although I was never taught Logic as a subject at school, a good understanding of Newtonian Mechanics laid down the seeds of Logical Reasoning and Radical Scepticism in me. Only around 2 years ago did I come to know about the subject called Logic and it's history. Aristotle's Syllogism is something that I had already been familiar with. However, I never knew that it was Aristotle that developed the first formal system of reasoning. I looked a little bit more into the history of not just Logical Reasoning, but even Maths and Science. Ever since then, the Ancient Greeks have resonated with me, coz I am so much like them. I have always considered myself to be nothing more than a Human Being. However, I do identify as Half Bharatiya Half Greek. Haha. Anyway, Love from Bharat ! Namaskaaram ! 🙏🏼 😄
Pranam from Rajdhani Dilli.
Thank you. Really well done and much appreciated.
I like how you chose words to narrate, loved them.
I wish my philosophy teacher teaches like this, I might have a change of heart regarding to philosophy 😥
These synopses of great philosophers are wonderful and pregnant with the most important aspects of their teachings. They are witty and fast paced; I'd much rather replay a video to make sure I get everything than get bored by long pedantic explanations. The great part is that you are being succinct without leaving anything out, which has always been my goal in philosophy. (Oh, and thanks for the video on "Misemployment." That really needed to be said and is a beginning toward our society addressing the fact that there simply aren't enough jobs for everyone. How will our Calvinistic ethos handle this?)
Im an artist, and it occurs to me that, busy in my studio (or not as the case may be) that im producing nothing of value in society. then i remember the simple fact that the world doesnt need me to go on selling insurance or putting watches together. probably not a story the 6 o clock news would ever run, though

I can relate completely. I'm a composer who has discovered after many years that no one is interested in my music. At my age, I have found myself with no social context. But really, with society the way it is, I don't really want to contribute to it any more. It is a sick and twisted thing, but I keep searching for a way I don't have to give up my self to stay alive. I think the key is to try and focus on making someone else happy, even for a moment, and then try to focus on that instead of the negativity. That might even be a little easier for you than it is for me; I don't know. I've burned all my bridges. If you wanted, maybe you and I could be friends and talk more. Please don't hesitate to send me a private message.
Alain de Botton Are you really Alain de Botton or are you just some guy pretending to be him? Also, even if you answer "yes I am him" there's no way of validating your response so I have no idea why I'm asking.
Chris O'Rourke It is not that there is no one around that is not interested, it is more of the fact that you have no platform to present. Doing something for others to make them happy is as easy as doing what you love and visa versa, what I am saying is I am sure that your music has made other people happy and would make more happy if they had a chance to hear it. I do not know your music but I do find it hard to discover new music of any genre (and I do love most of them).
yo creo que sí, la verdad
This video is a massive help! Thank you!
I love the ilustrations you put on the video. They are not only pretty effective, but also funny and ironic.
