How Aristotle Died

Answer 3

There is no answer to why some one died. There can be an answer how, some one died? Whether your question is how Aristotle died?

Answer 4

He died of old ageat 62
In those days most people didn't live to 62. Also, since he died shortly after he was forced out of Athens, he may have died other than naturally. There isn't much information on how he actually died.

Even if he was so smart, people with opposing political views felt he was dangerous, especially since he was close to the king. Note that a smart person is not necessarily one who becomes a leader. Political connections are more important. In the time of kings, it depends on who your parents were.

Apparently, Aristotle's son didn't have the talent he had, since little is known about him or what he did.

Aristotle's father was a physician.

Aristotle lived from 384 - 322 B.C. and is considered to be one of the great thinkers of the ancient world. He was born in 384 BC in the city of Stagira, Macedonia. His father was the personal physician to the King of Macedonia. In 367 B.C. Aristotle left Stagira to further his education in Athens, Greece. He attended the Academy that was founded by Plato. At one point Plato stated that Aristotle was the "intelligence of the school". Aristotle attended the Academy (almost twenty years) until Plato's death in 347B.C.. The reason he gave for leaving was that he disappoved of the emphasis on mathematics and theory in the Academy, and the decline in natural philosophy. However, it is believed that he was displeased that Plato designated his nephew as his successor, passing over his own merits.

In the year 336 B.C. Alexander the Great became supreme ruler of Macedonia. His ambition got the best of him and he began launching multiple conquests at one time. Soon his empire ranged from India in the east to Egypt in the west, Alexander no longer had time for Aristotle to lecture him. Aristotle, unwilling to return to Plato's Academy (now under the direction of Plato's nephew who began a different direction of study) began lecturing at the Lyceum, a Athenian gymnasium. He earned the nickname "Peripatetic" from lecturing while walking down the Lyceum's walkways ("Peripatetic" is Greek for "walking about"). During the next twelve years at the Lyceum, he lectured on all subject matters, and soon began to doubt the theories of Plato. Aristotle's new theories about a geocentric universe (everything revolved around earth) would dismiss those of Plato's, and hold for the next 2000 years, until Copernicus unveiled his heliocentric theories.
Alexander the Great died in the year 323 B.C., either by disease or poison, while on campaign in the far east. Anti-Macedonians began to uprise in Athens challenging Antipon (Alexander's succesor). Because of Aristotle's special relationship with Alexander, he no longer felt comfortable in Athens. The Anti-Macedonians waged war, and liberated the Greek states from Macedonian rule. They saw Aristotle as Anti-Greek, and charged him with "impeity" (disbelief in the established gods), a charge which led to the conviction and death of Socrates (via hemlock) years before.
With himself and Socrates in mind, he swore that he wouldn't let the Athenians sin twice against philosophy. He willingly left for Chalcis, and began his exile from Greece. After he and his companion, Herpyllis, spending less than a year in Chalcis, Aristotle died in 322 B.C., at the age of 63.
