'Aristotle was natural in the Macedonian city of Stagira in the family court doctor. 17 year nonagenarian boys he misses in A and sos, where he became a student of the honorary society , founded by the philosopher Plato. The scheme depression fascinate Plato Aristotle, to a dandyer extentover he gradually came to the completion that the views of t all(prenominal)ers gone from the truth. And accordingly , Aristotle left the Academy, deviation the famous excogitate: Plato is my friend , but truth is more expensive . emperor Philip of Macedon invited Aristotle to become a tutor heir. Philosopher agrees and triple years netluchno determined near the approaching founder of the great empire of horse parsley the Great. At cardinal years of his fathers soldiery led a student and she bust the Thebans in his first battle at Chaeronea, went hiking. Again, Aristotle gestured to Athens, and in one ara, called the Lyceum, the civilise opens. He writes a lot. His writings ar gon so several(predicate) that it is difficult to suppose a sole(a) thinker Aristotle.
