Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The Peripatetics were members of a school of philosophy in ancient Greece. Their teachings derived from their founder, the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, and Peripatetic (Greek: ) is a name given to his followers. The name refers to the act of walking, and as an adjective, "peripatetic" is often used to mean itinerant, wandering, meandering, or walking about. The school derives its name from the peripatoi ( "colonnades") of the Lyceum gymnasium in Athens where the members met, although a later legend claimed that the name came from Aristotle''s alleged habit of walking while lecturing. The school dates from around 335 BC when Aristotle began teaching in the Lyceum. It was an informal institution whose members conducted philosophical and scientific inquiries. Aristotle''s successors Theophrastus and Strato continued the tradition of exploring philosophical and scientific theories, but 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.
