4) Aristotle – (384 to 322 BC) (4 of 10)
The Greek philosopher, Aristotle is considered to be one of the first ever great scientists in the history of the world. His philosophies and ideas have influenced scholars and scientists for centuries, and the former student of Plato was also famous for being the teacher of Alexander the Great.
His work as a scientist covered a diverse range of subjects, from zoology, biology, and ethics to physics and metaphysics. His views on science were way ahead of his time and were beyond the comprehension of his peers; while they would go on to form the basis of learning and science in the future.
