10. The reintroduction of Aristotle would enable the refinement of his ancient but nonetheless still relevant works
As already noted the student of Plato, Aristotle, along with his mentor, is broadly considered the “Fathers of Western Philosophy”. Little is known about the life of Aristotle, joining the Academy at the age of seventeen and remaining until he was thirty-seven, departing Athens only upon the death of Plato. Hired by Philip II of Macedon, Aristotle, starting in 343 BCE, became the tutor to Alexander the Great and founded the library at Lyceum. Writing hundreds of books, none of which were actually intended by Aristotle for publication, only approximately one-third of his original output is believed to have survived to the modern-day.
Covering subjects ranging from biology, logic, politics, and rhetoric, Aristotle laid the foundations for both natural and social sciences throughout the Western world. Influencing both the Islamic and Christian spheres as his teachings spread, it would not be until the Enlightenment his theories and suppositions about the world were finally replaced by more modern and scientifically accurate designs of the universe. Touching the lives of every single person and subject in existence, it would be proper for “The First Teacher” to be allowed to see the fruits of his labors and the results of generations of inquiry and research.
