Aristotle studied at the Academy of Plato and in 335 B.C. he founded his own school in the Gymnasium of the Lykeion. Along with philosophy, he dealt with the scientific research and is thus considered the founder of many sciences. His teaching aimed at the approach of all fields of knowledge, so that the individual would be able to develop a multifaceted personality, which was accomplished by the parallel training of the body.
