He studied under Plato at Athens and taught there (367Ð347); subsequently he spent three years at the court of a former pupil in Asia Minor. After some time at Mitylene, in 343Ð342 he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander. After PhilipÕs death in 336, Aristotle became head of his own school (of ÒPeripateticsÓ), the Lyceum at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after AlexanderÕs death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNearly all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious).
