Aristotle


Aristotle is considered one of the greatest and most influential intellectual figures of Western civilization. He was born in Macedonia in 384 BC, and may have studied Greek medicine and biology in his youth. In 367 BC he went to Athens to study with Plato, and remained their until Plato's death about 348 BC. He traveled for a few years, including a return to Macedonia, where he was a tutor of Alexander for three years from about 342. He then returned to Athens and founded the Lyceum, a rival school to Plato's Academy. The Lyceum was noted for its emphasis on biology and history, and Aristotle's works appear to be based on notes used in his lectures there. When anti-Macedonian unrest developed in Athens following Alexander's death in 323, Aristotle moved to Chalcis and died the following year, in 322 BC.

Aristotle's life and works can be examined using methods of science, although direct connections of physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth science, and biology are unknown. He is known for contrubutions to physics and biology. There are connections with human body and psychology and with other historical figures. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, especially Europe and possibly Asian geography and particular groups may also be useful.
