Theophrastus Theophrastus

    Theophrastus byl nástupcem Aristotela v peripatetické škole. Zabýval se širokou škálou témat, od biologie a fyziky po etiku a metafyziku. Jeho práce o rostlinách, které významně ovlivnily středověkou vědu, mu vynesly titul „otec botaniky“. V etice zkoumal štěstí jako závislé na vnějších vlivech i ctnosti a slavně poznamenal, že „životu vládne štěstěna, ne moudrost.“
