Aristotelian Philosophy and the Lyceum

Aristotle’s school, the Lyceum, developed systematic inquiry across ethics, politics, rhetoric, poetics, psychology, biology and metaphysics. Its works reflect the intellectual world after Plato and during the rise of Macedon.

The setting matters because Aristotelian texts shaped later philosophy, science and medieval scholarship. They also sit at the meeting point of Athens, Macedon and the wider Greek intellectual tradition.

Works engaging with this history include Aristotle editions and books dealing with Alexander, philosophical schools, Greek education and the transmission of ancient learning.
