Description
Aristotle was a many-sided intellectual. Philosophy and science were harmonically united in his personality. He and his students studied every field of human activity, as well as of nature. He collected and recorded every piece of knowledge of his epoch and afterwards he scrutinised them with discerning eyes. His works, which are classified into many categories (logical, natural, ontological, ethical, political, rhetorical, and poetical), are the base of many sciences. That is why he has been surged at the top of philosophy for more than 16 centuries, since the time he became more broadly known –in the 1st century B. C., after the first edition of the whole of his surviving works by Andronicus of Rhodes.
At first, he was naturally academic and an avid reader. He was born in the ancient Stageira of Macedonia in 384 B. C. in a wealthy family –his father was a doctor in the court of the king of Macedonia Amyntas III. Therefore, he enjoyed the use of his father's library, initially. In the course of his life, he gradually owned a huge library -compared with the data of that time-, which he finally bequeathed to his most loyal student, Theophrastus.
According to his biographer Diogenes Laertius (Vitae philosophorum, 5.32.1), he was also Ξ±αΌ°ΟιολογικΟΟΞ±ΟΞΏΟ (mostly enquiring causes), that is, he enquired the cause in everything, to its minute details, and so he became the founder of scientific research.
