This famous work by Aristotle is sometimes forgotten when speaking of the great philosopher. Most likely because of its length. It is more of an essay nay a poem than any of his other works however that does not deter from the fact that this work is one that should be looked upon as a masterpiece. What it is at face value is what the title suggests…that being a list of winds but read further and you shall find that it is about a lot more then mere wind patterns.
Now it may seem boring at first but on looking into ‘situations’ one can see just how deep this piece is. It shows us how things works as it explains the different wind systems and how they go into one another and come out of each other. This can and will be taken in a symbolic way to express how humans effect each other and spread thoughts and ideas. Much like the winds of the world affect one another every human affects another. Another philosophical concept raised in this work is basically “a rose would smell just as sweet with any other name.” A single wind can have many names but ultimately it comes from an origin and is only one wind not multiple winds. This represents how every human is different and has their origin, no matter how hard they want it, that origin cannot be changed. The final idea which I will share with you, as I believe that everyone should find something for themselves in this work, is that of continuity. This masterpiece gives a sense of circularity to the winds and that they never ever stop, they are always there. This obviously enough represents the nature of life and how it is constantly being reborn and dieing at the same time.
I do believe that everyone out there should read this work. It is short and shan’t take up too much of your time. Finding it will probably take longer than it will to read it but nevertheless I do think it is worth a read as it is overlooked as one of Aristotle’s great works even though it is so deep and meaningful. So take out that complete works of Aristotle ( that hangs around so that you look smart ) and find this lovely piece of writing. Happy reading!
Oh ye I forgot, there's a super special awesome twist at the end!!!!!!
