367-347 academy- rst university in athens, stays 20 years here, when plato dies he wasn"t happy who they handed over the school to so he left. 335-323 lyceum- his own school that he created after plato death. Plato was all about nding the singular truth, aristotle involves looking at as many things as possible (opinions) and trying to sort out the truth of all these opinions. 2 generations younger than plato, upper middle class greek, dad was a doctor, not an athenian, from the north, macedonian - metic (a resident foreigner) 322, when he dies is the year macedonia nally defeats athens- polis. **he is a presenting a systematic way of looking at the world and knowledge** The way he thinking makes sense for 2000 years- big question: how aristotle thinks things, completely different from how we think of things , constantly revising and amending plato.
