Seek answers to urgent human questions (e.g., “What is virtue?” and “What is justice?”)

His style of philosophizing was to engage in public conversations about some human excellence and, through skillful questioning, to show that his interlocutors did not know what they were talking about.

Thought that virtue is a form of knowledge and that “care of the soul” (the cultivation of virtue) is the most important human obligation.

Invented the field of formal logic

Identified the various scientific disciplines and explored their relationships with each other.

Eventually became the intellectual framework of Western Scholasticism

The theology and intellectual worldview of the Roman Catholic Church became Aristotelian

Inspired the field of virtue theory, an approach to ethics that emphasises human well-being and the development of character.

Constitutes an important current in other fields of contemporary philosophy, especially metaphysics, political philosophy, and the philosophy of science.
