Aristotle

Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was a towering Greek philosopher and polymath whose work has profoundly influenced Western thought and science. Born in Stagira, Macedonia, he studied under Plato at the Academy in Athens and later tutored Alexander the Great, whose conquests helped spread Aristotle’s ideas throughout the ancient world. Aristotle’s contributions span numerous fields, including metaphysics, ethics, politics, logic, and natural sciences. His seminal works, such as “Nicomachean Ethics,” “Politics,” and “On the Soul,” explore concepts of virtue, governance, and the nature of existence. Unlike his teacher Plato, Aristotle emphasized empirical observation and practical experience, laying the foundation for modern scientific inquiry. His system of logic, particularly syllogistic reasoning, remained the dominant framework for logical thought for centuries. Aristotle’s extensive body of work and his systematic approach to understanding the world have earned him a central place in the history of philosophy and science.
