In this article, I analyze some fragments from scientific, philosophical, journalistic and literary works of Russian authors of the 18th – early 20th centuries, containing references to the personality of Aristotle. Based on them, I attempt to reconstruct some of the traditional historical images of the philosopher in Russian culture (“sage”, “scientist”, “universal man”, “genius”, “ideal philosopher”). I determine the semantic content of each historical image, its features, and transformation while tracing their relationship with the ancient Russian tradition. I conclude that the images of Aristotle as a “sage” and “scientist” have deep historic roots while the rest of the images began to take form in the 18th century and later. The paper is supplemented by a complete bibliographic list of the studied works.
