Aristoteles. Inset sculpture in the wall of Wollaton Hall in Nottingham Better known as Aristotle 384–322 BC a Greek philosopher and scientist born in Stagirus, northern Greece, in 384 BC. His father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, whereafter Proxenus of Atarneus became his guardian. At eighteen, he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of thirty-seven (c. 347 BC). His writings cover many subjects – including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theater, music, rhetoric, linguistics, politics and government – and constitute the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy. Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip of Macedon, tutored Alexander the Great between 356 and 323 BC. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, "Aristotle was the first genuine scientist in history. ... Every scientist is in his debt."
