Document Summary
Aristotle was born in estagira, in thrace, the year 384-3 a. c. , according to. Diogenes laercio, who tells us that he was the son of nicomachus and ephesian, and that his father practiced medicine in the court of king amintas (ii) of macedonia, "for the sake of medicine and for friendship," which it has tried to associate with the subsequent naturalistic interest of aristotle. View of the erechtheion, in the athenian acropolis we know little about the education received by aristotle in his youth, although it must have been that of the young greeks of his time. At seventeen, 368 a. c. , he moved to athens where he joined the academy of plato where he would remain for twenty years. The fact that contemporary criticism has revealed the historical, evolutionary nature of aristotelian work makes this hypothesis even more unsustainable.
