A Greek philosopher and polymath, student of Plato

Real World Example

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher who studied under Plato and made significant contributions to many fields like science, politics, and ethics. He founded his own school called the Lyceum and developed a method of logical thinking that laid the groundwork for modern science. At the time, his ideas helped shift thinking from mythological explanations to reason and observation. Today, Aristotle's influence is seen in the scientific method, which is used in schools around the world to teach students how to conduct experiments. For example, when you perform a science experiment in class, you're using steps that trace back to Aristotle’s emphasis on observation and evidence.
