ARISTOTLE SCULPTURE
Aristotle
384–322 BC was a Greek philosopher and scientist born in the city of
Stagira, Chalkidice, on the northern periphery of Classical Greece. His
father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, whereafter Proxenus
of Atarneus became his guardian. At seventeen or eighteen years of age,
he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of
thirty-seven (c. 347 BC). His writings cover many subjects – including
physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics,
poetry, theater, music, rhetoric, linguistics, politics and government –
and constitute the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy.
Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of
Philip of Macedon, tutored Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC.(Ko3
