They presume that he eventually freed and married her. He did not promote any specific views or doctrines: the spirit of the school was one of questioning and scrutinizing different philosophical and scientific theories. However their theories, based on the ideas of Empedocles and Aristotle, hindered the development of chemistry for over 2000 years.In contrast to his highly theoretical approach to chemistry, Aristotle the biologist was perfectly happy to get his hands dirty dissecting animals.
Aristotle witnessed the defeat of Athens and Thebes against Philip II at Chaeronea (338 BCE), and, it seems, was a tutor of Philip’s son, Alexander the Great. Our happiness is not a state but but an activity, and it’s determined by our ability to live a life that enables us to use and develop our reason.
