Aristotle on the Perfect Life
2008-06-04 09:49:00 Aristotle on the Perfect Life # Author:Anthony Kenny# Format:PDF 7.3MB# Page Count: 184 pages# Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (February 29, 1996)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0198236034# ISBN-13: 978-0198236030Aristotle's teaching on the subject of happiness has been a topic of intense philosophical debate in recent years; it is of vital importance to the question of the relevance of his ethics in the present day. Aristotle's admirers struggle to read a comprehensive account of the supreme happiness into the Nicomachean Ethics; Kenny argues that those who are prepared to take the neglected Eudemian Ethics seriously preserve their admiration intact without doing violence to any of the relevant texts of the Nicomachean Ethics. Kenny has refined his position on the relation between the two works, offering a fresh examination and interpretation of the Eudemian Ethics on the basis of the 1991 Oxford Classical Text. He combines scholarly discussion of the Greek texts with refle...

Aristotle Onassis VS Niarchos
2008-03-26 23:45:00 _uacct = "UA-2807163-1";urchinTracker();-I first encountered Stavros Niarchos face to face four months before I got to know Aristotle Onassis, the man who defined my career as a ship owner, and whose shadow I became for years to come. I met Niarchos in mid-May 1959 when the Creole was moored in the Bay of Vouliagmeni, outside of Athens. It was the most elegant and expensive yacht in the whole world at that time, a three-masted ebony masterpiece. I was | an avid hunter of front-page news, and as always I stalked my game with a photographer beside me. This particular day we decided to lay in wait on the beach, hoping for a few words from Niarchos, and maybe a picture of the already world-famous shipowner. I remember hoping that he would be entertaining some young beauty on his ship, in which case a place on the front page would be a sure thing. In Greek we call a shipping magnate a Stolarchos, meaning the commander of a fleet, something much more than a shipowner. In truth many of the...

Aristotle Onassis - Zorba the greek
2008-03-26 23:37:00 _uacct = "UA-2807163-1";urchinTracker();-Once upon a time there was a Greek man whose name was Onasis. He lived in a century when a lot of old ideologies died and new ones, such as communism, were born; in a century when realms and empires faded down; when the most criminous wars occurred and two super powers separated the whole world into East and West. During the same century, the world commercial and technological exchange dominated, as well as the giant growth of consumerism and the star system did. Tremendous inventions had been realized, such as the cure of irremediable ?till that period- illnesses, the heart transplant, the change of arteries and of sex? It was during this century that the man broke the atom and made the bomb of calamity. At the same time, he conquered the space, footed on the moon, succeeded superhuman records and brought an evolution to arts, literature and music. In a few words, during the 20th century we saw almost everything, we saw signs and wonders? Ona...

Was the Doctrine of Transubstantiation Borrowed From Aristotle?
2007-12-13 23:28:00 To continue a somewhat ongoing (if sporadic) discussion that Kenny Pearce and I have been having about the supposed difference between Transubstantiation of Trent versus the undeniable Real Presence of the early Church, I found this excerpt from Lutheran Church Historian, Jaroslav Pelikan (at least he was Lutheran at the time he wrote it) in "The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition" (emphasis my own):The victory of orthodox Christian doctrine over classical thought was to some extent a Pyrrhic victory, for the theology that triumphed over Greek philosophy has continued to be shaped ever since by the language and the thought of classical metaphysics. For example, the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 decreed that "in the sacrament of the altar... the bread is transubstantiated into the body [of Christ],and the wine into [his] blood," and the Council of Trent declared in 1551 that the use of the term "transubstantiation" was "proper and appropriate." Most of the theological expositions...
Farewell to Stelios Papadimitriou, Honorary President of the Aristotle Onas
2007-12-04 15:25:00 _uacct = "UA-2807163-1";urchinTracker();- At the age of 75, and having recently exchanged the title of president of the Alexandros S. Onassis Foundation for that of honorary president, Stelios Papadimitriou lost the battle with lung cancer. His ordeal led to complications that took him to the intensive-care unit of the Onassis Cardiology Hospital, where he died on November 23. The hospital, which was created by the foundation, was inaugurated by Papadimitriou and the two vice presidents. It was written that he should spend the last night of his life there. His funeral took place on Friday and was honored by the Church, the state, the academic community and many of his colleagues.In accordance with his wishes, the funeral was held at Aghia Fotini in Nea Smyrni, where Christina Onassis?s funeral was held on November 19, 1988. She was buried on the island of Skorpios, next to her father and brother, Aristotle and Alexandros Onassis. The bells tolled mournfully in the bell tower, which i...

The invocation of Aristotle
2007-11-10 14:00:00 I wrote recently here on digital-basin in praise of the book The Power of Film by Howard Suber. In continuing the recurring theme of late here on the blog looking at screenwriting I thought it worth reflecting on what Suber describes as 'Aristotlary' - in simple terms the attribution to Aristotle of things that he never actually said; the act of invoking Aristotle's name to legitimise specific dramatic structures.Aristotle and the 3 Act Structure is the much loved and lauded backbone of popular screenwriting. But the truth is that whilst the 3 Act Structure is readily attributed to Aristotle he never actually wrote at all about acts or structures. It's only the later applied interpretations that made the attribution. Aristotle was simply a philosopher concerned with the human condition. In drama, and in particular dramatic tragedy, Aristotle saw a means to explore, engage with and understand human behaviour. His work Poetics is really little more than an examination of what it i...

Aristotle Onassis - why he wanted Jackeline Kennedy
2007-10-01 18:06:00 On August 7, 1963, Jackie gave birth prematurely to her son Patrick; he was the last child Jackie was to carry, and he lived only two days. Following baby Patrick's death, Jackie spiraled into a serious depression, from which her younger sister Lee Radziwill tried to help her recover.Lee invited Jackie for an October cruise on Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis' yacht, the Christina, to give Jackie some solace from her loss, and a week away from the pressures of being First Lady. Lee and her husband Prince Stanislas Radziwill chaperoned the cruise, along with Commerce Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., and his wife Susan.During Spring and Summer 1963, Lee Radziwill had become intimately involved with Onassis; her marriage to Prince Stanislas Radziwill was deteriorating rapidly. The Onassis/Radziwill affair surfaced in the American press during the Summer of 1963, causing embarrassment for a Kennedy administration hoping for easy reelection in 1964; they didn't want any sc...

Aristotle Onassis and Maria Callas
2007-10-01 15:28:00 MARIA Callas's life is eloquent testimony to the truth of Erik Erikson's observation that ''when artists go under, it is not as slaughtered lambs, but as the vanquished in the struggle for power.'' Callas's formidable personality and temperament gave her insight into the larger-than-life heroines of many 19th-century operas. With the tools of her musicianship and remarkable technique, she translated this identification into performances that could transform people's lives. Her style was at one with the Romantic period and altogether alien to our own time. No one knew this better than she. Even at the end of her career, when a director of Covent Garden asked her to narrate ''L'Histoire du soldat,'' she refused: ''I'm not very keen on Stravinsky. I don't really like modern music. ... I don't really even approve of Puccini. Mine is the nineteenth century.'' The 19th century also marks the style of Arianna Stassinopoulos, Callas's most recent biographer. The author,...

Movie on Aristotle Onassis
2007-09-28 16:10:00 THE GREEK TYCOON Directed by J. Lee Thompson Screenplay by Mort FineIn one scene Jacqueline Bisset, playing the Jacqueline Kennedy role, complains about the cuisine on the yacht; she's really not into Greek food. What would she prefer? inquires Anthony Quinn, playing the Aristotle Onassis role. Italian? French? The latter. No problem! he cries. He'll have it flown in daily from Maxim's, though how he expects to keep the white sauce from separating in flight is not clear. But the point is made: we are here in the lap of a luxe so grand as to be unimaginable to us poor mortals who count ourselves lucky to fly in the general direction of Maxim's a few times during our lives.But we must not think that the makers of this film intend merely to wow us with gaudy excess. No, no, no. They have soul. Quinn is discovered brooding sadly over his wife's beauty. Why does it make him gloomy? Because, he says, all beautiful things must eventually fade. That is in the nature of things. He is fu...

Aristotle and the Science of Nature: Unity without Uniformity
2007-08-19 20:49:00 Author: Andrea FalconPaperback: 158 pagesPublisher: Cambridge University Press (October 2005)Language: EnglishISBN: 0521854393(R)Aristotelian scholars have argued that he regarded the natural world, and its study, as possessing a unique structure. This book examines Aristotle's philosophy of nature in this light. Claiming that the natural world exhibits unity without uniformity, it demonstrates that although he systematically investigated nature, Aristotle never forgot to recognize the limitations of natural science. Arguing that his claim led to the conviction that the heavens are made of a unique body, Andrea Falcon's book is essential reading for all students of Aristotle's philosophy of nature.

Western Male Converts Heart Aristotle
2007-03-16 20:02:00 You know what I’m sick of? Western Muslim male converts who really hate feminism, particularly “western liberal feminism”(like once they convert to Islam they automatically disassociate themselves from western philosophies). Why? And why do they think Muslims have superior understanding of gender politics than the west when their perspective of gender roles is more Aristotelian than Muhammadenian? News flash, when it comes to gender politics you are doing nothing but reinforcing traditional western philosophies. Your notions of the nature of the women, her sexuality, her biology and intellectual capacity are all based on Aristotelian logic. Yea, It is. Consider this: Islam argues that although men and women are biologically different, spiritually they have the same rights. However according to certain “sunnas” women are deficient in certain “faculties” hmmm sound familiar boys? Word for word, Aristotle argues the same. So in reality these converts are really reverting ...

Syd Field and Bob McKee Vs. Aristotle
2007-03-15 18:03:00 Funny thing happened the other day. I've been hard at work developing a few ideas recently and had one 'pitched'. It went well and a crew is being put together to go shoot a pilot. One of the guys was astonished at how much work I'd spun into just one sentence he had spoken the week before. But something interesting happened as a result. I was working on a spec. feature called simply QFAD (my working title). It was going really well. I showed the first chapter to my editor and after some avid reading I got the response: “Urgh! I like it and I hate it! It's so Mammet! Brett [hero] is so fucking pathetic! I don't want to read about how bad his life is! I have a hard life, I want to read about funny commercial things. I want to see a movie on the page not art. Don't get me wrong, this is absolutely amazing work but it's just so mundane!” I loved the response. I aimed for mundane. That was the whole point of the hero's plight. He was stuck in a life he didn't want or k...

Aristotles Dream
2007-02-25 21:41:04 Aristotle once said, "The soul only speaks in pictures". This means that in order to program the unconscious, you must give it a picture- not a mantra, a repeated affirmation or a dialogue. Give your soul an image of what you want it to achieve, try and reflect on that image for a few seconds each day, and than let your "fluid magnet" (the aura) retrieve it for you. All you need to do than, is give thanks.

The Life of Aristotle Onassis
2006-11-16 18:45:00 1. Introduction2. The Escape from Smirne3. The New World4. The Penelope and the Socrates5. The Liberty Fleet and the OPM Technique6. Colombo's Egg7. Whale Hunting8. From the Sea to the Sky9. The Decay1. IntroductionThe life and character of Aristotle Onassis, in many ways, exhibited strong similarities to that of the Greek mythological figure Odysseus. Although never a passionate reader, Aristotle was fascinated by the story of Odysseus -- about his eternal journey in search of chimera and adventures and his ultimate return to his native country to reign in peace on his people. This character always attracted him as he felt the sense of a similar destiny and that he, as did Odysseus, knew how to exist above all will.Ari was brought up in an environment consumed by the rigorous principles of the Orthodox Church. But inside him, there remained only a deep religious sense of man as he grew older, a sense that respects the strength of superior events while de-emphasizing the will of a ...
