Aristotle (Αριστοτέλης, ارسطو) was one of the most important men of ancient Greece and one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived.
He was born in 385 B.C. and studied under the philosopher Plato (Πλάτων, افلاطون) for about twenty years. After Plato's death, Aristotle began to develop his own method of teaching. He was interested in practically every problem that man faced. How does the mind work? How can we learn what is true and what is false? What is the best form of government?
He tried to find answers by observing the world around him and gathering facts. He believed that every event had a logical explanation, and he was one of the first men to form conclusions from investigation and observation.

  Aristotle and Plato
     Aristotle opened his own school, called the Lyceum. He urged each man to seek his own place in the world by learning how to live a good and useful life. He believed in the "golden mean", or living the middle way between two extremes.
He is said to have written four hundred (400) books on astronomy, biology, ethics, physics, poetry, politics, oratory, and government. His books have been studied by people all over the world for hundred of years. No other man has influenced the thinking of so many people for so long.
Do you know?
     Aristotle is known as the most intelligent man who has ever lived on the face of this Earth. He was the teacher of Alexander the Great.
 Modern Scientists have found that many of the observations he made more than two thousand (2,000) years ago are true today. He showed us that every statement should be supported by evidence, and that the basis of knowledge is fact. This master of philosophy breathed his last in 322 B.C.
