ARISTOTLE

Aristotle (c. 384 B.C. to 322 B.C.) was an Ancient Greek philosopher and
scientist who is still considered one of the greatest thinkers in politics,
psychology and ethics. When Aristotle turned 17, he enrolled in Plato’s
Academy. In 338, he began tutoring Alexander the Great. In 335,
Aristotle founded his own school, the Lyceum, in Athens, where he
spent most of the rest of his life studying, teaching and writing. Some of
his most notable works include Nichomachean
Ethics, Politics, Metaphysics, Poetics and Prior Analytics.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT

Alexander was 32 when he died in 323 B.C.E. During his 13-year reign as
the king of Macedonia, Alexander created one of the largest empires of
the ancient world, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. (356-
323 BCE) Greek ruler, explorer, and conqueror. (384-322 BCE) Greek
scientist and philosopher.

PLATO
Plato (427—347 B.C.E.) Plato is one of the world's best known and
most widely read and studied philosophers. He was the student of
Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, and he wrote in the middle of the
fourth century B.C.E. in ancient Greece .
He founded the Academy, an academic program which many consider
to be the first Western university. Plato wrote many philosophical texts
—at least 25. He dedicated his life to learning and teaching and is hailed
as one of the founders of Western philosophy.
SOCRATES
Viewed by many as the founding figure of Western philosophy, Socrates
(469-399 B.C.) is at once the most exemplary and the strangest of the
Greek philosophers. He grew up during the golden age of Pericles'
Athens, served with distinction as a soldier, but became best known as
a questioner of everything and everyone.
