Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and polymath whose writings span the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that set the groundwork for the development of modern science. He is credited with works including Categories, Metaphysica, Magna Moralia, and Aristotle's Constitution of Athens. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
