Aristotle was born in 384 B.C and died in 322 B.C. He was considered one of the great thinkers of the ancient world. He was born in the city of Stagira in Macedonia.

Aristotle was very good friends with Plato and when Plato died he hoped to get his philosophy academy but it was handed down to Plato’s nephew Speusippus.
