ABSTRACT
Aristotle was Plato's student and the mentor of Alexander the Great. Aristotle is credited for inventing formal logic, biology, and general science for the Western tradition. He may have written the first constitution for a state. Aristotle stood up and wiped his brow. His bronze, wrinkled skin and kinky, black, white-streaked, thinning, and receding hair glistened from the sun shooting through a break in the trees of Apollo's woods. It was almost the autumnal equinox, but the heat was nearly unbearable—even in the temple woods that bordered his school, the Lyceum. Soon afterwards Aristotle's father died. However, other Hippocratic families assisted Aristotle in his medical training. For five years he went through the motions of learning the craft of medicine. But medicine just was not theoretical enough for him. Plato was sitting on an open-air bench on the porch before the garden.
