Best Philosopher

I would like to learn more about Aristotle to get a further understanding of his ideas. Finally, another way is to go to an old library that owns books toward the philosophic days and that focuses on Aristotle. Just want to have some knowledge over Aristotle and his history.

I guess the way I would go ahead and seek the information toward Aristotle to personally read his book, The Republic, which focuses on politics and how it should be structured. Scientifically and how it was best to have the government work in favor of that wouldn’t lead to catastrophic arguments in the long run. Also, to go ahead and speak w/ a historian who knows the background of Aristotle’s days. His system of “checks and balances” was a system that would bring government in check so that it wouldn’t result that the government would have absolute power. What I mean is that I would like to go into depth in his ideas of politics, natures scale, and logic. This should give me a more clear understanding of the life of Aristotle. Overall, I want to get to know Aristotle from childhood and how he was influenced to become a philosopher. In addition, I would like to know personally how he was criticized and he was able to continue his studies without no support from anyone nor having the efficient tools like he have today. I also have questions regarding to his teachings and his view of life.
