Aristotle (384-322 BC) One of the two most influential Greek philosophers, he studied under Plato, tutored Alexander the Great (c. 342-335), and taught in Athens at the Lyceum as head of the Peripatetic school. His works, about half of which have been preserved, treat of logic, metaphysics, natural science, ethics, politics, rhetoric, and poetics.

Of his dialogues, written in a more accessible and graceful style, only fragments remain. His method is empirical, critical, and inductive, in contradistinction to Plato's, and he is considered the father of scientific terminology. One of the most influential figures in Western thought, he was the preeminent philosophic and scientific authority for medieval Arabs and Europeans, and still remains authoritative in the field of logic.

Aristotle believed that ethical knowledge is not certain knowledge (like metaphysics and epistemology) but is general knowledge. Also, as it is not a theoretical discipline, he thought a person had to study in order to become "good." Thus, if a person was to become virtuous, they could not simply study what virtue is, they had to actually do virtuous activity. We are not studying in order to know what virtue is, but to become good, for otherwise there would be no profit in it. (NE 2.2) Including:
