Aristotle
Aristotle (Greek: Aristotélēs) (384 BC –  322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on diverse subjects, including physicsmetaphysicspoetry (including theater), logicrhetoricpoliticsgovernmentethicsbiology and zoology. Along with Socrates and Plato, he was among the most influential of the ancient Greek philosophers, as they transformed Presocratic Greek philosophy into the foundations of Western philosophy as it is known today. Some researchers credit Plato and Aristotle with founding two of the most important schools of ancient philosophy, while others consider Aristotelianism to be a development and concretization of Plato's insights.

Aristotle
Aristotle (384-322 BC) One of the two most influential Greek philosophers, he studied under Plato, tutored Alexander the Great (c. 342-335), and taught in Athens at the Lyceum as head of the Peripatetic school. His works, about half of which have been preserved, treat of logic, metaphysics, natural science, ethics, politics, rhetoric, and poetics. Of his dialogues, written in a more accessible and graceful style, only fragments remain. His method is empirical, critical, and inductive, in contradistinction to Plato's, and he is considered the father of scientific terminology. One of the most influential figures in Western thought, he was the preeminent philosophic and scientific authority for medieval Arabs and Europeans, and still remains authoritative in the field of logic. {SD, BCW}
