When you're called the philosopher, you must be pretty good at philosophy. He's born in 384 BCE and at the age of 18, he goes to the great academy of Athens where he is a student of Plato's. And of course, he's going to be exposed in all of the different disciplines at that time period and he's going to excel. It's said that he was the best of Plato's students and he stays there till he's 37 when Plato passes away in 343 BCE. At that time, Aristotle goes to become a tutor, probably the highest paid tutor in all of the universe, tutoring Alexander the Great. How great is it to tutor Alexander the Great? And he must have done a really great job because Alexander the Great goes on to conquer the Western world.
