Aristotle, son of the physician Nicomachus, was born in Stagira in 384 BC. There is very little information about his early years. At the age of seventeen, he went to Athens to study at the Platonic Academy. He stayed there for twenty years, from 367 to 348 BC, when Plato died. Then Aristotle went to Assos in Troas, and after a three-year stay there, went to Lesbos and then to Macedonia, where he undertook the education of the royal child Alexander.
When his student ascended to the throne, Aristotle settled in Athens and founded his school, the Lyceum. After Alexander’s death (323 BC), the philosopher's stay in Athens became difficult. He was forced to seek refuge in Chalcis, the homeland of his mother, where he died in 322.
A universal mind, Aristotle created a vast and valuable philosophical and scientific body of work. Epistemology, logic, theology, physics, biology, psychology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics are the main fields of knowledge he researched and studied.
The Alexandrian Hermippus estimated Aristotle’s works to be 400. To this day, we have lists that include 143 titles of his works. Diogenes Laertius estimated the number of lines of Aristotelian writings to be 440,000. The impact of his work on the formation of global thought has been strong for centuries, and remains so.
