Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist that laid much of the foundation for Western philosophy. He was a person who sought out explanations that were unorthodox. His principles of common sense were built on naturalism and self-realization, which greatly influenced the world. His systematic concept of logic touched upon ethics.
