1559 Aristotle on Motion. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher, but many of his scientific beliefs have been proven to be incorrect. One example is the fact that Aristotle believed that the earth was the center of the universe. Regarding Aristotle's views on the idea of motion, he was in conflict with another Greek thinker named Zeno who had attempted to analyze the motion of an object as a series of "still frames." Aristotle did not believe that motion could not occur this way. This paper delves into Newtonian science and quantum physics and tries to understand Aristotle as a philosopher. 5 pgs. 10 f/c. 4b.

2382 The Function of Aristotle's "Good Man" and "Good Citizen" in his Ideal Polis. This paper will approach Aristotle's "good man" in terms of both Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics and his Politics. It will be argued that the "good man's" relationship with the ideal polis can only be understood in terms of the ethical and political distinction Aristotle draws between the "good man" and the "good citizen". While in the ideal polis the two are identical, in the real world they are separate more often than not. From this perspective, the "good man" may be seen to vindicate the ideal polis in that the perfection of the state is dependent upon all its component units being good. 11 pgs. 20 f/c. 6b.
