Aristotle was born in 384 BC in Stagira, Halkidiki, the place he later departed for Athens. He was the son of Nicomachus, the physician of King Amyntas III of Macedonia – father of Philip. His parents died when he was young and Consul Atarneus, a family friend and husband of Aristotle\u2019s older sister, Arimnestes, took care of his upbringing. Thus, Aristotle headed to Athens for higher studies, the academic hub of the then world.<\/p>\n

He stayed with Plato for almost 20 years. He learned from the logic of his renowned teacher, but at the same time, a field of dispute emerged between Plato and Aristotle. As a result, when his teacher died in 347 BC, the Academy did not appoint Aristotle as the director, although there was no match for him in Athens. Aristotle\u2019s next destination was the city of Assos in Asia Minor and the branch of the Platonic Academy that operated there. Aristotle taught there for three years.<\/p>\n

Aristotle\u2019s reputation grew and in 342 BC he accepted the invitation of King Philip II of Macedonia. Thus, Aristotle remained, for 6 years, by Alexander\u2019s side before he became the Great, with Alexander learning in Aristotle\u2019s school the secrets of the world. When Alexander ascended the throne of Macedonia and became king, imposing Macedonian peace on Greek territory, Aristotle returned to Athens to establish his school.<\/p>\n

Aristotle stayed in Athens for 13 years, teaching, researching, and writing. It was during this period that he wrote most of his work. Philosophy, mathematics, science, and politics were the fields that Aristotle and his students occupied. The Greek philosopher created a library modeled on the famous library of Alexandria and Pergamon.<\/p>\n

The death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC altered the situation for Aristotle as well. The anger of the Athenians against the Macedonians, now that there was no great king of Macedonia, targeted (also) Aristotle. The priesthood accused him of impiety. The foresighted Aristotle had perceived the change of mood in his face. As a result, he did not stay in Athens for his trial. He left for Chalkida. A year later, Aristotle would leave the earthly – but his work would remain forever.<\/p>\n

The first editions of his work were made in Rome in 60 B.C. From his remarkable work, 47 complete books have survived, as well as numerous excerpts from others – it should be noted that the history of ideas questions the authenticity of the fragments.<\/p>\n
