＂亞里斯多德，這位偉大的思想家，綻放於絢爛斑斕的古希臘文明之中。他是洞察天地之理、解析萬象本質的哲學巨匠，以其悲憫的思維和廣博的知識，為後世留下了豐富的智慧遺產。＂
"Aristotle[A] (384–322 BC) was an Ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings cover a broad range of subjects spanning the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science.
Little is known about Aristotle's life. He was born in the city of Stagira in northern Greece during the Classical period. His father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, and he was brought up by a guardian. At 17 or 18, he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of 37 (c. 347 BC). Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip II of Macedon, tutored his son Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC. He established a library in the Lyceum, which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls.
Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues for publication, only around a third of his original output has survived, none of it intended for publication. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. His teachings and methods of inquiry have had a significant impact across the world, and remain a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion."
在浩瀚的星空下，亞里斯多德以理性的光芒，探索自然與人生的奧秘。他的哲學思想，像一道橋樑，連接了理論與實踐，指引人們在德性與智慧的路徑上前行。他的邏輯學，則如同璀璨的明燈，照亮了思維的迷宮，使得辯證與推理的藝術得以代代相傳。
作為柏拉圖學院的學生，亞里斯多德不僅吸收了恩師的哲學精髓，更在其基礎上闡發出獨特的哲學體系。他對自然哲學、政治學、倫理學等領域的深刻見解，擴展了人類知識的領域，塑造了西方思想的基礎。
在亞里斯多德的世界觀中，萬物皆有其目的與終極原因，他用這一理論，建立了一套宏偉的自然秩序觀。他關於「形而上學」的探討，攜帶著對存在本質的深刻思考，鼓勵人們穿透現象，見識本質。
亞里斯多德，如同曙光中的哲人，以其無盡的探索與深邃的思索，為後世照亮了思想的徑路。他的哲學，不僅是智慧的結晶，更是靈魂深處對真理永恆追尋的見證。在這條充滿哲理與情感的道路上，亞里斯多德的足跡，永遠銘記於人類文明的歷史之中。
