Aristotle, son of the physician Nicomachus, was born in Stagira in 384 BC. There is little information about his early years. At the age of seventeen, he went to Athens to study at the Platonic Academy. He stayed there for twenty years, from 367 to 348 BC, when Plato died. Then Aristotle left for Assos in Troas and after a three-year stay there, he went to Lesbos and then to Macedonia, where he took on the education of the royal heir Alexander.
When his student ascended to the throne, Aristotle settled in Athens and founded his school, the Lyceum. After Alexander's death (323 BC), the philosopher's stay in Athens became difficult. He was forced to take refuge in Chalcis, his mother's homeland, where he died in 322.
A universal spirit, Aristotle created a vast and valuable body of philosophical and scientific work. Epistemology, logic, theology, physics, biology, psychology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics are the main fields of knowledge that he researched and studied. The Alexandrian Hermippus estimated Aristotle's works to be 400. To this day, lists have survived that include 143 titles of his works. Diogenes Laertius estimated the number of lines in Aristotelian writings to be 440,000. The influence of his work on the formation of global thought was, for centuries, and remains, strong.
