Aristotle

384 – 322 BC · Greek Philosopher, Father of Western Logic

Aristotle studied under Plato, tutored Alexander the Great, and then built his own school, the Lyceum, where he essentially invented biology, logic, ethics, and political science. He believed virtue was not a feeling but a habit: something you practice daily until it becomes who you are.
