The son of a famous Macedonian physician, Aristotle continued his studies in Athens and became one of Plato’s favorite disciples. A great scholar, he even served as personal tutor to Alexander the Great, Ptolemy, and Cassander. For many this would have been the pinnacle of their careers, but Aristotle went on to found his own school, the Lyceum. There he imparts his knowledge and enthusiasm to any student wishing to embark on an intellectual and philosophical journey.
