Aristotle, one of the greatest Greek philosophers, researchers, and thinkers, was born in Stagira, Chalcidice to the physician Nicomachus and Phaestis in 385 BC. He followed the oracle of the Delphic Oracle - the Pythian god instructed him to philosophize in Athens - studied philosophy under Plato in Athens, and taught at the Academy (367 - 348 BC).

In 348 BC, after Plato's death, he went with Speusippus to Assos in Asia Minor and taught philosophy and scientific subjects to a wide audience. In 345 BC, possibly at the invitation of Theophrastus, he settled in Mytilene and remained there teaching until 342 BC, when Philip entrusted him with the education of the then thirteen-year-old Alexander.

In 336 BC, after Philip's death, he returned to Athens, and in 335 BC, he founded the "Lyceum" between Lyceum Hill and the Ilissus River, which was also called "Peripatetics" due to the many colonnades of the building. In 323 BC, after the death of Alexander the Great, he retired to Chalcis, the homeland of his mother, where he died from a stomach ailment in 322 BC.

Most of Aristotle's works have been lost. Those that have survived are distinguished into logical, natural, biological, psychological, metaphysical, ethical, political, technological, and problems. His primary work, "Organon," belongs to his logical works.
