Greek philosopher remains, even in modern times as one of the most studied ancient philosophers.
Perhaps he is most associated with Plato, as he became a student of this teacher when he was about seventeen yrars old. Indeed many records of Aristotle's thought were preserved as notes apparently taken by his students. Having solidified his name as a great thinker, Aristotle was asked to tutor Alexander the Great who later contributed funds so that Aristotle might open a school. At the Lyceum, Aristotle urged his students to seek 'good', 'just' lives. For Aristotle, an individual leading such a life would know and adhere to his position in society leading the life of a 'good man' in an ideal sate.
