Aristotle
Worth knowing
- Plato's student for twenty years, then tutor to Alexander the Great, then founder of his own school in Athens.
- He wrote on nearly everything: logic, physics, biology, ethics, politics, poetry. The tools of formal argument in this game are largely his.
- Most of what survives is lecture notes rather than published work, which is why it reads the way it does.
