== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Aristotle''' β Founder of the Lyceum and the Peripatetic school; author of 'Nicomachean Ethics' and 'Physics'. * '''Metaphysics''' β The branch of philosophy that examines the fundamental nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter. * '''The Syllogism''' β A form of reasoning in which a conclusion is drawn from two given or assumed premises (e.g., All men are mortal; Socrates is a man; therefore Socrates is mortal). * '''Hylomorphism''' β The theory that every physical object is a combination of '''Matter''' and '''Form'''. * '''The Four Causes''' β Aristotle's way of explaining "Why" something exists: Material, Formal, Efficient, and Final. * '''Teleology''' β The belief that everything in nature has a "Purpose" or "Goal" (Telos). * '''The Golden Mean''' β The virtue ethics idea that the best path is the balance between two extremes (e.g., Courage is the mean between Cowardice and Recklessness). * '''Lyceum''' β The school founded by Aristotle in Athens. * '''First Mover (Unmoved Mover)''' β The eternal, unchanging source of all motion in the universe. * '''Potentiality vs. Actuality''' β The process of a thing "becoming" what it is meant to be (e.g., an acorn is potentially an oak tree). * '''Substance''' β That which exists in itself and does not depend on anything else (e.g., an individual horse). * '''The Organon''' β The collection of Aristotle's works on logic. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
