A pencil drawing of a marble head of Aristotle in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. Roman copy of the mid-1st century after a Greek original ca. 320 BC.
Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης ; 384–322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece.
Tutor of Alexander the Great, Ptolemy and Cassander. He was the founder of the Lyceum and the Peripatetic school of philosophy and Aristotelian tradition. Along with his teacher Plato, he has been called the “Father of Western Philosophy”. His writings cover many subjects – including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics and government. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him, and it was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion.
