Who was Aristotle?
Hello friends. This is all about history and for history lovers. Everyone talks about Aristotle. Who is he? What was he? Aristotle was the most important thinker of the ancient times. He is a Greek. He was a tutor to Alexander the Great. Aristotle’s father was a court doctor to Alexander’s grandfather. Aristotle went to Athens in 367 B.C when he was 18 and studied at Plato’s Academy for twenty long years. After his time in Macedonia as a tutor to Alexander, he returned to Athens where he started a school. The building of the school contains a covered walk, the Peripatos, and this is why Aristotle’s college was called Peripatetic School. After about a year before his death, he had to flee from Athens because his enemies accused him of a lack of reverence for the gods. Even during our times such thoughts are seen differently. Just imagine during his period? He was mistreated badly hence had to go undercover from Athens. Aristotle’s works cover a wide range of topics which are relevant even during our times. His works were re discovered during middle ages by European Scholars and most importantly, as a matter of fact his work is considered only second to Bible!
