Document Summary

Socrates (469-399 bc) concerned more with ethics (what is good) than nature. Plato (424-347 bc) interested in what is good, what is reality, and interested in senses as a guide to reality. Aristotle (384-322 bc) was born in stageira, northern greece. He was a student of plato and was educated at plato"s academy in athens from 366-347 bc. He studied biology in assos (asia minor) from 347-344 bc. From 343-340 bc, he was a tutor of alexander (356-323 bc). The foundation of his own philosophical school (lyceum) in athens occurred in 335 bc. He wrote about many subjects, such as politics, rhetoric, logic, ethics, natural science, and biology. His biological works include parts of animals, history of animals, generation of. Animals, progression of animals, and on the soul. In these books we find some ideas that are important for medicine. The world contains many things and we must order the things that we see.
