Aristotle, the son of the physician Nicomachus, was born in Stagira in 384 B.C. There is little information 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 B.C., when Plato died. Then Aristotle left for Assos in Troad, and after a three-year stay there, he went to Lesbos and then to Macedonia, where he took on the education of the royal heir, Alexander. When his student ascended the throne, Aristotle settled in Athens and founded his school, the Lyceum. After Alexander's death (323 B.C.), 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 produced a vast and valuable philosophical and scientific work. Epistemology, logic, theology, physics, biology, psychology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics are the main fields of knowledge he explored and studied. The Alexandrian Hermippus estimated the works of Aristotle to number 400. Lists have survived to us that include 143 titles of his works. Diogenes Laertius estimated the number of lines in Aristotelian writings at 440,000. The influence of his work on the shaping of global thought was strong for centuries, and remains so.
