About Aristotle

Aristotle (384-322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato, and a tutor to Alexander the Great.

He wrote as many as 200 treatises during his lifetime, of which only 31 survive. Of these, Aristotle's best-known works include Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, Eudemian Ethics, Politics, and On the Soul.
