What were Aristotle's careers?

Answer 1

Aristotle was born in 384 B.C at Stagira on the Chalcidic Peninsula of Macedonia, in northern Greece. His father Nichomachus had been the court physician of the Macedonian king Amyntas III, father of Philip II and grandfather of Alexander the Great. Aristotle lost both his parents while still a child and was brought up by Proxenus, a friend of the family. As a doctor's son, Aristotle inherited a scientific tradition going back some 200 years. Because medicine was a traditional occupation handed down from father to son, Aristotle probably learnt the fundamentals of biological skill from his father, which he later displayed in his biological researches. Aristotle's own institute in Athens - "Lyceum" instructed students in history and medicine. At the age of seventeen, Aristotle travelled to Athens and joined Plato's Academy, where he studied assiduously. He impressed Plato with his original thinking and was described by him as being the "intelligent of the school". He remained there for twenty years, first as a student, then as teacher.
