Yet until now his life has remained a mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Philip Freeman brings Aristotle (384-322 BCE) vividly to life, from his orphan childhood to his years as Plato's student in Athens and his role as tutor to Alexander the Great in Macedonia. Drawing on ancient sources and modern scholarship, Freeman traces Aristotle's journey through a world of political upheaval and intellectual revolution, revealing Aristotle not only as a philosopher but as a scientist, literary critic, and seeker of happiness--a man who dissected sea creatures, mapped the stars, and invented logic to make sense of life's complexities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAristotle's ideas still shape how we think about truth, virtue, and the good life. This is the definitive portrait of one of history's greatest minds--the thinker Dante called \"the master of those who know.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Freeman\u003c\/b\u003e is Fletcher Jones Chair of Western Culture and professor of the humanities at Pepperdine University.
