Lyceum of Aristotle

The Lyceum was a school founded by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle in Athens around 335 BC. It was a place where Aristotle taught his students about philosophy, science, and various subjects. Unlike other schools of the time, the Lyceum encouraged the examination of the natural world through observation and inquiry. This approach laid the groundwork for many scientific methods used today. The Lyceum also had a large library and was a hub for intellectual exploration, making significant contributions to Western thought. It ultimately influenced various fields, including ethics, politics, and biology.
