Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and scientist born in 384 BC. He was born in the northern periphery of Classic Greece in a city known as Stagira. When he was eighteen, he joined Plato's academy in Athens where he stayed for nineteen years. After Plato died, Aristotle tutored Alexander the Great which gave him many opportunities. Aristotle's writings mainly discuss the subjects of physics, biology, zoology, logic, ethics, and much more. Aristotle was known as the "father field of logic" and was the first to develop a formalized system of reasoning. In his lifetime, he wrote as many as 200 treatises but only 31 survive. Some of his works include: The Athenian Constitution, On Dreams, On the Heavens, Physics, and many more. He died at the age of 62, in 322 BC, in Euboea, Greece. Aristotle is important today because he is the father of Western science giving us the first books in biology, physics, astronomy, and psychology. He is also considered to be the godfather of the internet, entrepreneurial start ups, and e-commerce.
