Extractions: On the Lacedaemonian Constitution, c. 340 BCE Some, indeed, say that the best constitution is a combination of all existing forms, and they praise the Lacedaemonian because it is made up of oligarchy, monarchy, and democracy, the king forming the monarchy, and the council of elders the oligarchy while the democratic element is represented by the Ephors; for the Ephors are selected from the people. Others, however, declare the Ephoralty to be a tyranny, and find the element of democracy in the common meals and in the habits of daily life. At Lacedaemon, for instance, the Ephors determine suits about contracts, which they distribute among themselves, while the elders are judges of homicide, and other causes are decided by other magistrates. For, during the wars of the Lacedaemonians, first against the Argives, and afterwards against the Arcadians and Messenians, the men were long away from home, and, on the return of peace, they gave themselves into the legislator's hand, already prepared by the discipline of a soldier's life (in which there are many elements of virtue), to receive his enactments. But, when Lycurgus, as tradition says, wanted to bring the women under his laws, they resisted, and he gave up the attempt. These then are the causes of what then happened, and this defect in the constitution is clearly to be attributed to them. We are not, however, considering what is or is not to be excused, but what is right or wrong, and the disorder of the women, as I have already said, not only gives an air of indecorum to the constitution considered in itself, but tends in a measure to foster avarice.

Extractions: Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) This Aristotelian report covers the Greek Philosopher, Aristotle, who is considered to be the greatest philosopher of all time with the possible exception of Plato. Aristotle lived and taught in Athens for the majority of his life. He started as a pupil of Plato (who was taught by Socrates), and for some time was a the teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on a great variety of subjects, varying from astronomy to abstract philosophy. Aristotle was the founder of biology. As an educator, and scientist, he was one of the greatest and most influential thinkers in Western and Muslim culture. Much of Aristotle's work was lost after the decline of the Roman Empire, but the notes of his students and Jewish scholars helped reintroduce the lost material to the West. Aristotle and his teacher, Plato are usually considered to be the two most important ancient Greek philosophers. and overthrew the Persian Empire at the battle of Granicus and Issus. He also Invaded northern India. He was known as Alexander the Great, one of the greatest generals of all time. Around 334 B.C., Aristotle returned to Athens and founded a school called the Lyceum or otherwise known as the Peripatus. Aristotle's school, his philosophy, and his followers were called peripatetic which in Greek means "walking around", because Aristotle taught walking with his students. Around 324 B.C., Aristotle was accused of impiety(the lack of reverence for the gods) Which was also the charge that another great philosopher, Socrates, who had been put to death for it in 399 B.C. Aristotle left immediately for the city of Chalcis so the Athenians would not(in his own words) - "...sin twice against philosophy." Aristotle died in Chalcis after being there for only about one year.

The most trustworthy biographical account of his life is by Dionysus of Halicarnassus, in his Epistle on Demosthenes and Aristotle The Poetics (or, The Poetic , according to the translation) of Aristotle is the earliest critical treatise dealing with dramatic practice and theory. Besides being a summing-up of the first great age of dramatic activity, it has exercised incalculable influence over the dramatists of all European and many other nations. There are few if any important contributions to dramatic theory and criticism which fail to take account of the work, but owing to its obviously incomplete form, the many corrupt portions of the text, its compact and elliptical style, it has been constantly misinterpreted, misquoted, and misunderstood. The famous Unities , the terms "Imitation" and "Purgation," have in particular proved troublesome to the Italian critics of the Renaissance and to their followers in France. Of late years, however, a number of valuable annotated editions, with copious notes and explanatory matter, have gone far to clear up the misunderstanding.

Extractions: Aristotle's Virtue Ethics Dr. Charles Ess - Philosophy and Religion Department - Drury University An Aristotelian vocabulary: "virtue" ( arete excellence in fulfillment of a particular function "happiness" (eudaimonia ) = a sense of well-being, resulting from achieving excellence in the fulfillment of one's functions, including the "species-specific" functions of reason (both theoretical and practical) Epistemological comment: Aristotle observes that each "science" ("knowledge," episteme ) such as mathematics, ethics, politics, psychology, biology, physics, etc. admits of a given degree of certainty and demonstration. ("Knowledge comes in different flavors.") It is the mark of an educated human being - i.e., one who has explored the different sciences with some care - to know what degree of certainty and demonstration is appropriate to each one. In particular, the educated human being will know that the same degree of certainty and demonstration is not possible in ethics that is possible in mathematics. There are important reasons for this claim - reasons surrounding the following passage. In speaking of the mean (between excess and defect) towards which our actions should aim, Aristotle notes:
