Books by Aristotle

Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was a Greek philosopher who studied at Plato's Academy and later founded his own school, the Lyceum, in Athens. He tutored Alexander the Great and wrote on logic, biology, physics, metaphysics, rhetoric, poetics, politics, and ethics. The Nicomachean Ethics is thought to be lecture notes compiled either by or for his son Nicomachus. Aristotle's system of logic remained the dominant framework in Western philosophy until the 17th century, and his ethics and political philosophy continue to shape contemporary moral theory.
