Aristotle was a great Greek Philosopher. His philosophical views gained much popularity. I want to tell an interesting thing about this person is that he was the student of Plato and the teacher of Alexander the Great. He was born in 384 BC at Stagira, Chalkidica on the Northern periphery of Classical Greece and died in 322 BC at the age of 62.

 When his father died in his childhood Proxenes of Atarneus became his guardian. When he reached the age of 18 he joined Plato's Academy in Athens. He wrote on various topics such as politics, poetry, physics, biology, metaphysics, zoology, ethics, logic, theatre, music, linguistics, rhetoric, aesthetics and government.

Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold".

According to Encyclopedia Britannica "Aristotle was the first genuine scientist in history.....[and] every scientist is in his debt".
