Aristotle, born fifteen years after the execution of Socrates in 399B.C.E, was an extraordinary Greek philosopher who studied at the "Academy" (first ever named school) and only 18 years old, was known for his philosophy's of the nature of society.
Aristotle founded the school and had been known for the Intelligence and Reader of the Academy. Socrates, who was also a philosopher, was Aristotle's favorite scientist in the study of laws and values. unfortunately Socrates was brought to trial for questioning the beliefs, values and custom of religion to the gods, and later found guilty of treason to the gods and executed for his philosophy's. Socrates though had made it clear of the distinction between the soul and society.
Aristotle himself was only 18 of age when he attended the Academy and was fully inspired by his fellow professors (Socrates and Plato). Aristotle had a strong passion for change and differences. He felt that only listening and responding to the Gods was not enough support to give to the people. So to add to Greek philosophy, his theory was to innovate every day society and increase the public's ideas and own opinions. To do so Aristotle established principles of a naturalistic, this-worldly metaphysics: one reality, a world of particulars, of entities acting in accordance with their natures, lawful, intelligible and graspable by man. which states that man's goal is to achieve personal happiness and personal pride by using his intellectual ability to the fullest. This would benefit society and allow the people have the right to celebrate their own pride. Aristotle was the first to classify areas of human knowledge into distinct disciplines such as mathematics, biology, and ethics. Some of these classifications are still used today. In particular, he established the basic principles of scientific epistemology: the role of the senses, the role of abstraction, the laws of logic, the types of reasoning, the basic rules of validity in deductive reasoning. Which allowed more discussion and reasoning between the Greeks.
Overall, Aristotle was an astonishing philosopher with a great passion to his beliefs and order. His main lesson "belief" he wanted to teach was to increase naturalistic ideas and opinions to society, and let anyone have their own reasons and not only look up to the gods. "Let nature take control".
