Aristotle, son of the physician Nicomachus, was born in Stagira in 384 BC. Little information is available about the early years of his life. At the age of seventeen, he went to Athens to study at the Platonic Academy. He remained there for twenty years, from 367 to 348 BC, when Plato died. Then Aristotle left for Assos in Troad, and after a three-year stay, went to Lesbos and then to Macedonia, where he took on the education of the royal child Alexander. When his student ascended the throne, Aristotle settled in Athens and founded his school, the Lyceum.

After the death of Alexander (323 BC), the philosopher's stay in Athens became difficult. He was forced to flee to Chalcis, his mother's homeland, where he died in 322. A universal spirit, Aristotle created a vast and valuable philosophical and scientific body of work. Epistemology, logic, theology, natural science, biology, psychology, ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics are the main cognitive domains he researched and studied. The Alexandrian Hermippus counted Aristotle's works at 400. To this day, lists have survived that include 143 titles of his works. Diogenes Laertius estimated the number of verses in Aristotle's writings at 440,000. The influence of his work on the shaping of global thought was strong for centuries, and it remains so.
