 A free essay on Aristotle essays
Aristotle was the greatest and most influential of all Greek philosophers, he was born at the town of Stageira in the year of 384 B.C. His farther, Nicomachus, was the friend and physician of Amynats II, king of Macedonia, father of Phillip and grandfather of Alexander the Great.
Aristotle’s education seems to have been directed toward the same profession, but it would appear that he early abandoned this intention, and aspired to that cultivation of universal knowledge for its own sake, in which he obtained a distinction without parallel in the history of the human race.
In his 18th year he left Stageira for Athens, then the intellectual center of Greece and of the civilized world.

He was born in 384 BC in Stageira, a small community in Chalcidice, in the north­east part of what is now mainland Greece, remote from Athens.
His ancestry was Ionian, that is, of the same ethnic group as the Athenians, but Chalcidice at that time increasingly was coming directly under the growing influence of the neighbouring Kingdom of Macedonia, then beginning to emerge as a major power.
Nine years earlier the town had been destroyed during Philip's campaign in Chalcidice (as a result of the same foreign policy which had aroused the anger of the Athenians over Olynthus), but later it had been rebuilt with the assistance of the Macedonians.
