“Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion. Almost.”
Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης, Aristotélēs) (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, student of Plato, teacher of Alexander the Great, and all around philanderer. His teachings cover many topics, including politics, physics, sex, music, ethics, sex, and of course, Greek daytime television drama. Aristotle, along with his mentor Plato and his teacher, Socrates, are the most important philosophers of Western society. Without them, the world would have been lost. Aristotle's works influenced many thinkers throughout the years, most prominently his views on science shaped medieval scholarship for centuries until Newton came around and shred everyone's collective knowledge into a thousand tiny pieces. Paradoxically the Catholic Church borrows heavily from his use of logic as well in their scholastic traditions.
