Aristotle, Ancient Greek philosopher
Aristotle. Illustration of a bust of the Ancient Greek philosopher and logician Aristotle (384-322 BC). After studying at Platos Academy, he went on to tutor the young Alexander the Great. Aristotle proposed theories on almost every subject. He produced a detailed description of the universe, with the Earth at its centre. He studied biology as well, and carried out many animal dissections. He divided animals into groups depending on whether they laid eggs or not, the first documented attempt at scientific taxonomy. He also wrote detailed works on logic, which were the standard texts for over two millennia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable illustration of Aristotle, the eminent Ancient Greek philosopher and logician. With his profound intellect and insatiable curiosity, Aristotle left an indelible mark on various fields of study. Having studied under Plato at his esteemed Academy, he later became the tutor to none other than Alexander the Great himself. Aristotle's intellectual prowess knew no bounds as he delved into theories spanning almost every subject imaginable. His comprehensive description of the universe placed Earth at its center, reflecting prevailing beliefs during that era. Moreover, his pioneering work in biology involved conducting numerous animal dissections and categorizing them based on their egg-laying abilities - marking the first documented attempt at scientific taxonomy. Not limited to natural sciences alone, Aristotle also penned extensive treatises on logic that remained standard texts for over two millennia. His philosophical insights continue to inspire thinkers across generations. The intricately carved bust captured in this monochrome artwork pays homage to this extraordinary thinker whose contributions have shaped our understanding of the world around us. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Aristotle's enduring legacy as a scientist, philosopher, biologist, logician, classifier - a true polymath who forever altered our perception of knowledge and classification systems.
