Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης) (384 BC – 322 BC) was a philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology and zoology.
Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important figures in Philosophy. He was the first to devise a comprehensive system that encompassed morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics. His views on the physical sciences profoundly shaped medieval scholarship, and his influence extended well into the Renaissance. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic. In metaphysics, Aristotelianism had a profound influence on philosophical and theological thinking in the Islamic and Jewish traditions in the Middle Ages, and it continues to influence Christian theology, especially Eastern Orthodox theology, and the scholastic tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. Nearly all aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue to be the object of active academic study today.
Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues (Cicero described his literary style as "a river of gold"), it is thought that the majority of his writings are now lost and only about one third of the original works have survived.[1]
