Aristotle, (384 BC – 322 BC) was a Greece philosopher, student of Plato and teacher of Alexander. He wrote a variety of different subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethnic, biology and zoology. Along with Socrates and Plato, he is considered to be one of the three most influential philosophers in Western thought.

Aristotle was born in Stagira, a town in Chalcidice region, Thracia, Greece (formerly Central Macedonia region) in 384 BC. His father was the King's personal healer of Amyntas of Macedonia. At the age of seventeen, Aristotle became the disciple of Plato. He later rose to become a teacher at Plato's Academy in Athens for 20 years. Aristotle left Plato's Academy after he died, and became tutor to Alexander of Macedon. When Alexander ruled in the year 336 BC, he returned to Athens. With the support and assistance of Alexander, he then set up his own academies named Lyceum, which he ruled until the year 323 BC. political changes over the fall of Alexander himself had to flee back to avoid the fate of Athens ill-fated as it used to be experienced by Socrates. Aristotle died shortly after the evacuation. Aristotle strongly emphasized empiricism to emphasize knowledge.

One of the most important 'think-frame' contributed by him is syllogisms that can be used in drawing the right conclusions from two new truth. Suppose there are two statement (premise):

@ Each man would surely die (major premise).

@ Socrates is human (minor premise)

@ It can be drawn the conclusion that Socrates would surely die
