Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in western philosophy. Aristotles writings contain the earliest known straight forward study of logic, witch was made of in the late nineteenth century to our nowadays formal logic. Some people say that a lot of Aristotles writings have been lost. Now only about 1/3 of the original writings have survived.
