    2. Some Biographical Points Student of Plato for 22 years at Platos Academy Tutor of Alexander the Great Systematized the science of logic. Wrote on the Philosophy of Nature, on the nature of poetry, politics, ethics, metaphysics, on the soul, biology, zoology, and more.

    3. Some Biographical Points Aristotles father, Nicomachus, was the personal physician to King Amyntas of Macedon. Aristotle, thus, had a greater appreciation for matter, the physical, etc., than his teacher Plato. Because Plato argued that only forms or essences are true being, and that forms exist in a separate intelligible World of Forms, and that this world is not fully real, he did not bother to study nature as much as he studied the nature of the state, law, politics, etc.

    6. The Ten Categories of Being For Aristotle, there are ten categories or modes of being, that is, ten ways to exist. The first way is primary, namely, substance. Things exist as substances (I.e., gold, iron, water, flower, apple tree, man, etc.) The other nine ways are secondary. These modes of being exist in substance, and these are called accidents.
