Aristotle also took an interest in learning them from the beginning. Like the great philosophers his knowledge was fine and from excessive research findings. Even though Aristotle was appointed Instructor Alexander the great but he was always famous as a scholar.
 

He became student of Plato in the age of eighteenth years and was a member of academy for 25 years. Although Aristotle studied with a teacher like Plato was, but he was a realistic philosopher. His philosophy looks influenced by Plato. In his view of Matter, spirit, and God Plato’s ideas are visible. His view of Metaphysics emerged through and grew the criticism on Plato’s theory.
