Aristotle subdivided living organisms into two main groups: plants and animals. Plants were further subdivided based on whether they had flowers (flowering plants) or not (non-flowering plants). Animals were classified based on characteristics like blood circulation, habitat, and reproductive methods.
Aristotle's works, written in the 4th century BCE, describe plants having roots. His observations and writings about plants and their growth are foundational to the development of botany as a scientific discipline.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle classified animals based on their habitats and physical characteristics. He grouped animals into different categories such as land animals, water animals, and air animals. He also classified animals based on their blood composition, dividing them into red-blooded (mammals and birds) and bloodless (fish and insects).
Aristotle's way of classification, known as the Aristotelian system, was based on a hierarchical approach where organisms were grouped based on shared characteristics. He classified organisms into broad categories such as animals and plants, and further divided them into increasingly specific subcategories based on observable traits.
Aristotle believed that the word for clear and ordered thinking that was the basis of a good life is "phronesis," which translates to practical wisdom or prudence. It involves the ability to make sound judgments in practical matters to achieve the highest good.
