Question

Aristotle lived many years ago. He was born in a Greek colony about 350 years before the birth of Christ (B.C.) His father,

Nichomachus, was the physician for the King of Macedonia. Unfortunately, Nichomachus died when Aristotle was quite

young. When he was 17 years old he was sent to Athens to study. Athens was a center of learning and he joined the

Academy and studied for twenty years under Plato who was the foremost philosopher and teacher of that time. When

Plato died Aristotle left Athens and went to Mysia where he taught for three years in the king’s court and married the

king’s daughter Pythias. They had a daughter and Pythias died when she was a young woman. Some writers claim that

Philip, King of Macedonia, invited him to come and teach his son Alexander who was 13 years old at that time. He tutored

him for five years. This same Alexander would later go on to conquer the then known world. He returned to Athens and

set up his own school, the Lyceum, and taught there for 13 years. Aristotle was a genius. He studied many different

subjects: science, plants, animals, the human body, weather, the earth, the heavens, politics, government, ethics and

philosophy. He taught moderation, urging his students to follow the middle road between extremes. He defined virtue as

the disposition of the soul that promoted human flourishing. Aristotle thought common men of virtue were capable of

governing themselves. He died in 322 B.C. at the age of 62.
