Aristotle lost his parents at very young age. He spent years within the Macedonian palace where he got touch with the Macedonian monarchy.
In 384 BC, Aristotle was born in the stakira of Thrace.
The city was a colony of Greece, adjacent to the rising Macedonia.
His father was the court physician of Philip ii, king of Macedon, and from his family, he belonged to the middle class of the slave-owner class.
At the age of 17, he went to Athens to study in Plato's academy for 20 years, until Plato died.
Perhaps influenced by his father, Aristotle was interested in biology and empirical science;
Being influenced by Plato, he became interested in philosophical reasoning.
He moved to Athens in 367 BC, studying medicine at Plato's college in Athens for 20 years until Plato died.
After leaving the college, Aristotle was invited to Asia minor by his friend Hermias, which was the leader of Micronesia during that time. At there, Aristotle married with the niece of Hermias and had a wonderful time. However, in 344 BC, Hermias was murdered in an uprising and Aristotle had to leave Asia minor.
In 343 BC, Aristotle was invited by the king of Macedonia to become the teacher of The great Alexander who was only 13 years old.
According to the famous ancient Greek biographer Plutarch, Aristotle inbued the future world leader with moral, political and philosophy education. It was under Aristotle's influence that Alexander had always been very concerned about the cause of science and great respect for knowledge.
When Philip died in 335 BC, Aristotle returned to Athens and set up his own school there. The name of school Lyceum was named after the werewolf near the temple of Apollo. During this time, Aristotle wrote a number of philosophical works while lecturing.
Aristotle had a habit, he taught lectures while walking in the corridor and the garden. It's the reason why the philosophy of the academy is called "the philosophy of the free and unfettered".
Aristotle also had a lot of work during that period. They are mainly about the nature and physical aspects of natural science and philosophy. The word it adapted are more difficult then Plato's "Dialogue".

Some edits:
ReplyDelete"are overturned" maybe could be "have been improved upon"
"he got touch with" maybe could be "became familiar with the"
"At there, " change to "There"
"which was the leader of Micronesia " change to "who was"
"Aristotle also had a lot of work during that period. " change to "Aristotle wrote a lot during this period of time."
"The word it adapted are more difficult..." not sure what this means.
Suggestions: after the werewolf near the temple of Apollo (I would have liked to hear more of this story!)
Also there were two places where you jump ahead in history, then back up, then jump ahead again. So when you talk about losing his parents at a young age, but then you back up and tell me about his birth. This doesn't flow very well.
