Aristotle n' stuff

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher, he was alive from 384 BC to 322 BC. He was the student of Plato and the teacher of Alexander the Great. He was the founder of the Lyceum and the Peripatetic school of philosophy and Aristotelean tradition. His writings were outstanding and covered many topics such as logic, physics, biology, ethics, politics, rhetoric, motion, theatre, poetry, metaphysics and phycology. Aristotle was born in Stagira in Northern Greece, his father died when Aristotle was a child. When he was about 17 or 18 he when to Plato's Academy in Athens, and stayed there until he was 37. Then he established a library in the Lyceum to help him produce hundreds of books, sadly though only a third of his output survived.  Later Theophrastus, Aristotle's successor, wrote a book called The History of Plants, a great work in the field of botany.
