Aristotle: The Philosopher Who Knew Everything

Aristotle tutored Alexander the Great, founded the Lyceum in Athens and invented formal logic, a system that remained definitive for 2,000 years. He wrote foundational works on physics, biology, ethics, politics and poetry, organizing knowledge into fields that still shape universities. Medieval scholars in Europe and the Islamic world simply called him The Philosopher.

His teacher Plato founded the Academy and dreamed up the Theory of Forms, and Socrates, who taught Plato, died for questioning. Three lives, one unbroken chain at the root of Western thought..
