Aristotle was the younger of the three great philosopher: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.All three of these philosophers of life, science, metaphysics and humanities had similar yet different views.Each thinking they were improving on and cultivating the others ideologies into a more refined and acceptable concept of how they saw life, with Aristotle having the final word of the three.Boris Spivak sculptured this bust of Aristotle using bonded stone with Forton MG and a bronze patinated finish.The great trilogy of philosophy began with Socrates. His pupil Plato further expanded the realm of thought and at his death passed the torch to his pupil, Aristotle. At the age of eighteen Aristotle came to Athens from Macedonia in the north for the purpose of studying with Plato. Although he was an original thinker who made great contributions of his own, he remained a student in Plato's Academy for twenty years.When Plato died he may have felt disappointment in not being chosen to head the school which Plato had founded but at the time Philip, King of Macedonia, invited him to become the tutor of his son who came to known as Alexander the Great. Aristotle later returned to Athens where he founded his own school, The Lyceum.Aristotle was not only an original and deep thinker but an observer, an organizer, a systematizer of knowledge. He laid the foundation of all sciences and philosophies by defining and classifying the various branches of knowledge: Psychology, Metaphysics, Politics, Rhetoric and Logic.
