Who can claim Aristotle?

I find it curious to see no mention of one rather large institution, the Roman Catholic Church, which for about a century regarded St. Thomas Aquinas as its official theologian and philosopher; and of course Aquinas drew heavily on Aristotle. I have no idea, though, whether neo-Scholasticism persists as a major influence.

A number of British philosophers of the last century engaged with Aristotle's ethical writing: Foote, Hampshire, Kenny, and McIntyre come to mind.

I’ve always had a distaste for Aristotle, preferring Plato, but after reading this I’m wondering if that stemmed more from the additional lens of the person introducing him to me.

Might have to revisit his work as my older self.

I think the broadest most practical day to day knowledge stems from Plato, née Socrates, “I do not think I know what I do not know”

The older I get the more I realize that there are a thousand true and intelligent things you can say about any topic. Magazines, journals, and libraries are full to the brim of intelligent people writing intelligent things. But an extremely minuscule portion of that huge mass is made of writing that gets right to the heart of the matter.

And Aristotle is the writer I've encountered the most who constantly gets right to the essence or core of what he's discussing, moving past the trivialities and the unessential to illuminate deep truths in a logical way. It's why a short essay like his Poetics--which in many ways is a limited work for the modern day because it deals wiih a very specific type of ancient literature--is still pored over by modern writers and screenwriters because of the deep dramatic truths it lays out.
