The universal philosopher Aristotle, teacher of Alexander the Great, was one of the most important ancient Greek masterminds.
Aristotle (384-322 BC), born in Stageira, a small ionic town on the east coast of the Chalkidike, therefore also called "the stagirite", came from a family of doctors.
His father Nikomachos was the personal physician of the Macedonian king Amyntas III, while his mother Phaestis was also a member of a prestigious family of physicians.
Aristotle, a disciple of Plato's powerful thought, was not particularly convinced of Plato's doctrine, however, and always sought to develop his own models of thought and theses.
His multi-layered views on the subjects of metaphysics (general development principles of the world), epistemology and logic, ethics, state theory, aesthetics and rhetoric, astronomy, meteorology, physics, comparative anatomy and physiology influenced philosophers and scholars many centuries later, even into the Renaissance and partly into modern times.
The official teaching of the Catholic Church is still largely influenced by Aristotle.
Aristotle, along with Socrates and Plato, is regarded as the founder of the classical philosophical tradition of the West.
Quote from Aristotle:"If the state of the soul changes, so does the appearance of the body and vice versa: if the appearance of the body changes, so does the state of the soul."
Another quote:"Friendship is a soul in two bodies."
As well as:"Life consists of movement."
Exhibit of the Thermenmuseum in Rome, probably a Roman copy of a lifelong representation created by Alexander the Great
