Aristotle's 'De Anima' – The Mind
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The faculties Aristotle ascribes to the mind include the nature of perception, thought, the intellect and the intrinsic association between body and soul. Taking the stance that one's body is merely a requisite occurrence – more like an afterthought – derived from one's soul has been disputed time and again by the likes of Aristotle and others who contend that the body and soul are inextricably intertwined. Moreover, it is the manner by which one perceives his or her existence that renders one complete in both mind and body. No additional sources cited.

Aristotle's "Nature Belongs To The Class Of Causes Which Act For The Sake Of Something" - Strongest Argument
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The argument associated with Aristotle's quote stating "nature belongs to the class of causes which act for the sake of something" (Aristotle, 2001) is clearly about the inherent value of nature in light of its reason for existing. Nature, in and of itself, is a self-sufficient entity by virtue of its capacity for perpetual regeneration; if it were not of the fact that nature reinvents itself each second of each day, thereby maintaining every single form of life found upon this planet, one might readily surmise how Aristotle may not have put forth the tremendous effort to defend its legitimacy. However, his contention that "action for an end is present in things which come to be and are by nature" (Aristotle, 2001) duly illustrates the argument he strives to impart upon the masses.

Aristotle's "Nichomachean Ethics": Friendship And Anger
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. To Aristotle, friendship, ethics and happiness are drawn from the same form, inasmuch as ethics represent the fundamental basis of one's existence; true friendship can only be derived from ethical behavior; and happiness is an intrinsic by-product of friendship. What is happiness if not a state of mind? In order to reach such a state of mind, one must engage in activity – either spiritual or social – that elicits this particular sentiment. Aristotle believed that ethics and thought were the fundamental basis for happiness, inasmuch as one cannot truly be happy if one is not cohesive with the world around him. Aristotle urged people to adhere to the fourteen axioms acts of his Nichomachean Ethics, which included gentility, honesty, pride, truthfulness, courage and self-restraint. This, asserted the philosopher, would aid in curtailing discord while broadening the trust that must exist between people in order to cultivate friendship. As such, one can readily associate the manner by which Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics illustrates how friendship serves as an important qualification in exercising the virtue of controlling one's anger.

Aristotle’s “Pride is the Crown of the Virtues”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing what Aristotle meant by claiming that pride is the crown of the virtues. Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) discusses in Nicomachean Ethics (350 BC) the virtue of pride. In fact he notes that “Pride, then, seems to be a sort of crown of the virtues; for it makes them greater, and it is not found without them”. Pride in the sense of Aristotle is not arrogance but in fact is the virtue of respecting oneself and “without it, one would have no reason to trust one’s ability to live”. Man is considered vain on the other hand when he has the tendency to evaluate oneself too highly and humble if he does not evaluate himself at his own worth, whereas pride is “a rational evaluation of oneself” (Aristotle, 2003ab). Pride is the crown of the virtues because it depends upon a man’s complete goodness and balance of the virtues where a man must firstly realize his own worth, maintain this worth and goodness, and not over- or underestimate his own worth and goodness – a challenge in honor which places pride above the other virtues yet still depends upon their maintenance to be attained.

Aristotle’s Philosophy, Science, and the Christian Church
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the philosophy of Aristotle (384 -322 BCE) and its impact on Christianity. According to Aristotle, the human soul is made up of rational and non-rational elements. One has the ability to reason about things within itself, and understand mathematics and other theoretical sciences. The other listens to reason “as one would listen to a father.” Certainly, the connection between the thinking of Aristotle and that of Christianity becomes obvious in that one statement. Many other parallels exist between Aristotle’s thinking and the attitudes of the Christian church in terms of science, medicine, and other physical truths of the universe.
