Statue of Aristotle — Attraction in Municipality of Thessaloniki

En. - Aristotle, Greek Aristoteles, (born 384 BC, Stagira, Chalcidice, Greece—died 322 BC, Chalcis, Euboea), ancient Greek philosopher and scientist, is one of the greatest intellectual figures of Western history. He was the author of a philosophical and scientific system that became the framework and vehicle for both Christian Scholasticism and medieval Islamic philosophy. Even after the intellectual revolutions of the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment, Aristotelian concepts remained embedded in Western thinking.

The central square of Thessaloniki is named in honor of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. The statue of the Greek philosopher appears to be holding a pergamine paper in his left hand, while his right one rests with serenity on a higher marble base.

Ro. - Aristotel (născut în 384 I. Chr., Stagira, Calcidice, Grecia – murit în anul 322 I. Chr., Chalcis, Eubeea), filosof și om de știință grec antic, a fost una dintre cele mai mari figuri intelectuale ale istoriei occidentale. El a fost autorul unui sistem filozofic și științific care a devenit cadrul și vehiculul atât pentru scolastica creștină, cât și pentru filosofia islamică medievală. Chiar și după revoluțiile intelectuale ale Renașterii, Reformei și Iluminismului, conceptele aristotelice au rămas încorporate în gândirea occidentală.

Piața centrală a Salonicului este numită în onoarea filozofului grec antic Aristotel. Statuia filozofului grec pare să țină o hârtie de pergamin în mâna stângă, în timp ce cea dreaptă se sprijină cu seninătate pe o bază mai...

Άγαλμα του Αριστοτέλη

Ο Αριστοτέλης, (384 π.Χ. - 322 π.Χ.) ήταν αρχαίος Έλληνας φιλόσοφος και επιστήμονας που γεννήθηκε στα Στάγειρα της Χαλκιδικής στη Μακεδονία. Είναι ένας από τους μεγαλύτερους διανοούμενους της ιστορίας.

Πανεπιστήμων, φιλόσοφος, κορυφαίος εκπαιδευτικός και αναμφίβολα ο συστηματικότερος και μεθοδικότερος νους της αρχαιότητας, έμελλε να μεταλαμπαδεύσει το φωτεινό του πνεύμα στον μαθητή του Αλέξανδρο τον Μέγα, ενώ αργότερα θα ίδρυε τη δική του σχολή, το περίφημο αριστοτελικό Λύκειο της Αθήνας, όπου και θα περνούσε στην αθανασία τόσο από το διδασκαλικό του έργο όσο και -κυρίως- από την ασύλληπτη συνθετική ικανότητα της διάνοιάς του. Θεωρείτε ο κατεξοχήν φιλόσοφος που κυριάρχησε στη σκέψη του δυτικού κόσμου σε όλες τις περιόδους της μετέπειτα ιστορίας του.

Η διάσημη πλατεία Αριστοτέλους, σημείο αναφοράς για τους ντόπιους και τους επισκέπτες φέρει το όνομα του γιατί το άγαλμα που φιλοξενεί είναι αυτό του Αριστοτέλη. Είναι έργο του γλύπτη Γεώργιου Γεωργιάδη και τοποθετήθηκε στην πλατεία το 1990. Ο Αριστοτέλης απεικονίζεται σε καθιστή στάση, φοράει έναν μανδύα, σανδάλια και κρατά έναν πάπυρο. Το άγαλμα είναι τοποθετημένο σε μια μεγάλη μαρμάρινη βάση. Η απεικόνιση είναι έντονα ρεαλιστική, κάτι που αποτυπώνεται καθαρά στις...

A large statue of Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher and polymath, is located just by the side of the Aristotle Square. In my opinion it is a good idea to built Aristotle’s statue here, so that more people, especially the younger generations can be familiar with Aristotle, and his immense contributions to the world.
