I am Aristotle, born in Stagira on the chaldic peninsula of modern Greece 384 B.C.

E in northern
Greece, with a doctor as a father, I studied under Plato for 20 years until Plato’s death and then left
to travel to Asia Minor and then the island of Lesbos. My father, Nicomachus, served as court
physician to King Amyntus III of Macedonia. While my mother, Phaestis came from Chalcis, Euboea.
My father wanted me to be a doctor for the tradition was that medical skills were kept secret and
handed down from father to son. It was not a society where people visited a doctor but rather it
was the doctors who travelled round the country tending to the sick. Although we know nothing of
I's early years it is highly likely that he would have accompanied my father in my travels. We do
know that Nicomachus found the conditions in Chalcidice less satisfactory than in the neighboring
state of Macedonia and he began to work there with so much success that he was soon appointed as
the personal physician to Amyntas III, king of Macedonia.
I first studied medicine before going to Athens at age 17 to study at Plato’s Academy. As one of
Plato’s pride students, I formed a different form of view than Plato. He simply believed in what
existed without trying to explain it and without seeking deeper meaning. In contrast, I question
everything that was presented to me until I understand what each of them represented and learn
how the fit in forming a larger system.

I am the author of The Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, The Poetics, and Triate Du Ciel. I invented the
field of formal logic

I am Aristotle, born in Stagira with a well connect father and wealthy mother in 384 BCE, 15 years
after the execution of Socrates. I moved to Athens in 367 BCE at the age of 17 and became part of
Plato’s Circle. I received education at Plato’s Academy though it wasn’t the formal education we
might think these days. For the next 20 years, I moved to Athens arguing, learning and teaching
until Plato’s death on 347 BCE. I traveled around the region before being called by King Philip II,
King of Macedonia to tutor His son, a young whippersnapper who would soon grow up to be
Alexander the Great. In 335 BCE, I decided to leave the side of the most powerful man in the land to
set up my own school, the Lycium. Eventually when Anti-Macedonian was at for height, I left Athens
again to retire at my mother’s state, Charlicis at the Island of Euboea. I Made over 150 works
containing over 550 books which only 30 rather short ones survived today and these are likely the
rewrites.
