Aristoteles Stagirita. Clar. Olymp. 103, undated

Aristotle Stagiritis (384–322 BCE), the ancient Greek philosopher, is considered a founder of Western philosophy and has shaped scholarly thought from Antiquity through the Renaissance. He advanced the notion that logic must be proved through observation and not be based in abstract thought. Although Aristotle wrote hundreds of texts on a variety of topics such as physics, biology, and ethics, only 31 survive today.
