ABOUT ARISTOTLE (384–322 BC)

Aristotle studied under Plato for twenty years. Then he disagreed with him and built an entirely different system of thought.

Where Plato looked upward toward ideal forms and abstract truth, Aristotle looked outward at the observable world. He classified animals, analyzed political systems, codified the rules of logic, and laid the foundations of biology, physics, ethics, and literary criticism - often in the same week. No mind in Western history has ranged as widely or as rigorously.

He tutored Alexander the Great at the request of Philip II of Macedon, shaping the education of the man who would conquer the known world. He founded the Lyceum in Athens, where his habit of walking while lecturing gave his followers the name Peripatetics - the wanderers.

His influence on Western thought is so pervasive it is almost invisible. Medieval scholars simply called him The Philosopher, as though no other title were necessary. Science, logic, ethics, politics, aesthetics - Aristotle didn't just contribute to these fields. In most cases, he invented them.
