Aristotle

Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) was one of the most influential ancient Greek philosophers in the history of Western civilization. He studied at Platonic Academy for two decades, since he was 17 years old., After that, he left Athens to tutor Alexander the Great. Aristotle’s philosophy is focused on empiricism (as opposed to Plato’s idealism) and, as such, it laid the foundation of many sciences. His works include “Nicomachean Ethics,” “Rhetoric,” “Poetics,” “Organon,” among others.
