aristotle
384 BCE - 322 BCE
Aristotle was an Ancient Greek philosopher.
Born in 384 BCE, he is one one of the most
influential philosophers in the world. When he
was 18, he moved to Athens and joined Plato's
Academy. He stayed in Athens until around 348
BCE before moving away. Plato and Aristotle
disagreed in their beliefs. Plato believed that
every thing has an immutable ideal form already
in your mind that different instances of that
object are drawn from, while Aristotle believed
that material things have both an object of
matter and an ideal form, but the object itself
draws from neither. After he left Athens,
Aristotle was hired to be the tutor of Alexander
the Great, who eventually conquered the Persian
Empire.
