Aristotle (384322 BCE) was a Greek philosopher and student of Plato who stunningly changed the course of Western philosophy. He has gone down in history as one of the greatest philosophers of all time. Cicero, the Roman statesman and philosopher, once called his writing style a river of gold; and his scope of thought and subsequent influence on the study of science, logic, philosophical discourse, and theology has led many to dub him The Philosopher.

About Aristotle:

Aristotle (384 BC 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a studentof Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings covermany subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater,music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology, andzoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher),Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Westernphilosophy. Aristotle's writings constitute a first at creating acomprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing moralityand aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.Aristotle's views on the physical sciences profoundly shapedmedieval scholarship, and their influence extended well into theRenaissance, although they were ultimately replaced by Newtonianphysics. In the biological sciences, some of his observations wereconfirmed to be accurate only in the nineteenth century. His workscontain the earliest known formal study of logic, which wasincorporated in the late nineteenth century into modern formallogic. In metaphysics, Aristotelianism had a profound influence onphilosophical and theological thinking in the Islamic and Jewishtraditions in the Middle Ages, and it continues to influenceChristian theology, especially Eastern Orthodox theology, and thescholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. His ethics, thoughalways influential, gained renewed interest with the modern adventof virtue ethics. All aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue tobe the object of active academic study today. Though Aristotlewrote many elegant treatises and dialogues (Cicero described hisliterary style as "a river of gold"), it is thought that themajority of his writings are now lost and only about one-third ofthe original works have survived. Despite the far-reaching appealthat Aristotle's works have traditionally enjoyed, today modernscholarship questions a substantial portion of the Aristoteliancorpus as authentically Aristotle's own.

Things are said to be named equivocally when, though they havea common name, the definition corresponding with the name differsfor each. Thus, a real man and a figure in a picture can both layclaim to the name animal; yet these are equivocally so named,for, though they have a common name, the definition correspondingwith the name differs for each. For should any one define in whatsense each is an animal, his definition in the one case will beappropriate to that case only.

On the other hand, things are said to be named univocallywhich have both the name and the definition answering to the namein common. A man and an ox are both animal, and these areunivocally so named, inasmuch as not only the name, but also thedefinition, is the same in both cases: for if a man should state inwhat sense each is an animal, the statement in the one case wouldbe identical with that in the other.
