Description
Aristotle as depicted by Raphael in “The School of Athens”. Athenian philosopher and logician, he studied under Plato in Athens. In 342 BC he returned to Macedon where he was born and tutored Alexander The Great. He became a public teacher using his garden for his lessons. He influenced many later thinkers in areas such as logic, astronomy, zoology, embryology and physics. He was a first-class naturalist and marine biologist, although his teachings of physics and cosmology were eventually outdated. Today he is best known as a founder of logic.
