Synopsis "Protréptico: Una Exhortación a la Filosofía (in Spanish)"

El Protréptico es fundamentalmente una obra de exhortación a la filosofía, entendida ésta como el cultivo de un conocimiento teorético de la realidad de las cosas, que es el que proporciona las pautas necesarias para la vida feliz. Es, pues, una invitación a la vida contemplativa, al ejercicio y uso del entendimiento y la sabiduría que, como fin natural del hombre, es el mejor bien al que éste puede aspirar y lo único que, realmente, hace la vida digna de ser vivida.

Aristóteles

Aristotle (Stagira, 384 BC-Chalcis, 322 BC) was a philosopher, polymath, and Greek scientist born in the city of Stagira, in the north of Ancient Greece. He is considered, along with Plato, the father of Western philosophy. His ideas have had a huge influence on the intellectual history of the West for more than two millennia.

He was a disciple of Plato and other thinkers, such as Eudoxus of Cnidus, during the twenty years he was at the Academy of Athens. Shortly after Plato's death, Aristotle left Athens to be the tutor of Alexander the Great in the Kingdom of Macedonia for almost 5 years. In the last stage of his life, he founded the Lyceum in Athens, where he taught until a year before his death.

Aristotle wrote about 200 works, of which only 31 have been preserved (none of them intended for publication) in the Corpus Aristotelicum on a wide variety of topics, including: logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, rhetoric, physics, astronomy, and biology. Aristotle transformed many, if not all, of the areas of knowledge he addressed. He is recognized as the founding father of logic and biology, since although there are reflections and writings on both subjects before him, it is in Aristotle's work that the first systematic investigations are found. Aristotle has also been called the father of political science, zoology, embryology, natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism, criticism, individualism, teleology, and meteorology.
