7. Aristotle
Another one of the biggest influencers in history is Aristotle. He was born 384 BC in Northern Greece and he died in 322 BC in Euboea Greece at the age of 62. Most of his 200 works Aristotle composed in Lyceum, and only 31 of them survived. Aristotle’s surviving work has been divided into four groups. “Organon” is the first group and it is a set of writings that are a logical toolkit for philosophical and scientific investigation. The following group are his theoretical works which are mostly treatises on animals, the “Physics” about the matter of nature and change, and “Metaphysics,” which is a theological investigation of the existence itself. Other groups of works discuss everything from ethics and politics to poetics.
