Aristotle (Greek: Aristotélēs) (384 BCMarch 7, 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on diverse subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry (including theater), biology and zoology, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, and ethics. Along with Socrates and Plato, Aristotle was one of the most influential of the ancient Greek philosophers. They transformed Greek philosophy into the foundations of Western philosophy as we know it. Aristotle defines philosophy as "the knowledge of being."
