Greek
I am Aristotle, born in Stagira, tempered in Plato’s Academy, and founder of the Lyceum. I looked not to the stars alone, but to the smallest creature, the humblest purpose, the deepest cause.
Through logic I sought clarity; through ethics, balance; through observation, understanding of all things. I taught Alexander, yet my true legacy is the method — the reasoned path that lets any mind uncover nature’s design.
What I Leave Behind
- I proved that knowledge begins in wonder and grows through method.
- I showed that virtue is habit shaped by reason.
- I remind every mind: truth is not given — it is sought, tested, and lived.
Observe keenly, reason carefully — and let no question go unasked.
