What are facts about Aristotle?

Aristotle is a part of "The Big Three" (alongside Socrates and Plato) and considered one of the Founders of Western Philosophy. His contributions to philosophy, science, and metaphysics had permanently impacted the entire Western world and still does today; his teachings are the basis for many religious doctrines and beliefs, especially those of the Roman-Catholic Church pre-Renaissance. The pupil of Plato, Aristotle would go on to mentor Alexander the great (a military genius who's considered one of the most important figures in Ancient Western History).

While a few of his theories and postulates were later proven false, many of his concepts still hold true today. Aristotle was a mathematician and a philosophical scholar; he taught astronomy and political theory, as well. Without him, the Western world would likely be much less developed than currently is.
