Peripatetic school
other
The Peripatetic school was a school of philosophy in Ancient Greece.
other
Its teachings derived from its founder, Aristotle (384–322 BC), and "peripatetic" is an adjective ascribed to his followers.
other
The school dates from around 335 BC when Aristotle began teaching in the Lyceum.
other
It was an informal institution whose members conducted philosophical and scientific inquiries.
other
After the middle of the 3rd century BC, the school fell into a decline, and it was not until the Roman era that there was a revival.
other
Later members of the school concentrated on preserving and commenting on Aristotle's works rather than extending them; it died out in the 3rd century.
other
The study of Aristotle's works continued by scholars who were called Peripatetics through Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance.
other
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the works of the Peripatetic school were lost to the Latin West, but they were preserved in Byzantium and also incorporated into early Islamic philosophy.
other
Western Europe recovered Aristotelianism from Byzantium and from Islamic sources in the Middle Ages.
other
The term "Peripatetic" is a transliteration of the ancient Greek word "περιπατητικός" ("peripatētikós"), which means "of walking" or "given to walking about".
other
The Peripatetic school, founded by Aristotle, was actually known simply as the "Peripatos".
other
Aristotle's school came to be so named because of the "peripatoi" ("walkways", some covered or with colonnades) of the Lyceum where the members met.
other
The legend that the name came from Aristotle's alleged habit of walking while lecturing may have started with Hermippus of Smyrna.
other
Unlike Plato (428/7–348/7 BC), Aristotle (384–322 BC) was not a citizen of Athens and so could not own property; he and his colleagues therefore used the grounds of the Lyceum as a gathering place, just as it had been used by earlier philosophers such as Socrates.
other
Aristotle and his colleagues first began to use the Lyceum in this way about 335 BC, after which Aristotle left Plato's Academy and Athens, and then returned to Athens from his travels about a dozen years later.
other
Because of the school's association with the gymnasium, the school also came to be referred to simply as the Lyceum.
other
Some modern scholars argue that the school did not become formally institutionalized until Theophrastus took it over, at which time there was private property associated with the school.
other
Originally at least, the Peripatetic gatherings were probably conducted less formally than the term "school" suggests: there was likely no set curriculum or requirements for students, or even fees for membership.
other
Aristotle did teach and lecture there, but there was also philosophical and scientific research done in partnership with other members of the school.
other
It seems likely that many of the writings that have come down to us in Aristotle's name were based on lectures he gave at the school.
other
Among the members of the school in Aristotle's time were Theophrastus, Phanias of Eresus, Eudemus of Rhodes, Clytus of Miletus, Aristoxenus, and Dicaearchus.
other
Much like Plato's Academy, there were in Aristotle's school junior and senior members, the junior members generally serving as pupils or assistants to the senior members who directed research and lectured.
other
The aim of the school, at least in Aristotle's time, was not to further a specific doctrine, but rather to explore philosophical and scientific theories; those who ran the school worked as equal partners.
other
The doctrines of the Peripatetic school were those laid down by Aristotle, and henceforth maintained by his followers.
other
Whereas Plato had sought to explain things with his theory of forms, Aristotle preferred to start from the facts given by experience.
other
Philosophy to him meant science, and its aim was the recognition of the "why" in all things.
other
Hence he endeavoured to attain to the ultimate grounds of things by induction; that is to say, by "a posteriori" conclusions from a number of facts toward a universal.
other
Logic either deals with appearances, and is then called "dialectics"; or of truth, and is then called "analytics".
other
All change or motion takes place in regard to substance, quantity, quality, and place.
other
There are three kinds of substances – those alternately in motion and at rest, as the animals; those perpetually in motion, as the sky; and those eternally stationary.
other
The last, in themselves immovable and imperishable, are the source and origin of all motion.
other
Among them there must be one first being, unchangeable, which acts without the intervention of any other being.
