Aristotle achievements timeline
•
Aristotle (384-322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato, and the teacher of Alexander the Great. His extensive contributions in various fields such as philosophy, logic, metaphysics, biology, and physics have had a profound influence on Western thought.
In his philosophical system, he emphasized empirical observations and logical reasoning, providing a foundational framework that was later developed by other Western thinkers.
Aristotle was born in Stagira, a city in northern Greece, and moved to Athens at the age of 17 to study under Plato. After Plato’s death, he tutored Alexander the Great for several years before returning to Athens to establish his own school, the Lyceum.
His extensive body of work covers a wide range of topics, and although only a fraction of his original writings have survived, the impact of his ideas and his overall influence on Western philosophy and science remains substantial to this day.
