Where did Aristotle work at? Where did he spend most of his time with his work?

Answer 1

Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) went to Athens at the age of 17, and attended Plato's school for young Greek aristocracy known as the Academy (in Akademeia, then a northern suburb of Athens). From the age of 17 to 37 Aristotle remained there. After the death of Plato (347 BC), Aristotle was considered for the position of head of the Academy, but this was eventually awarded to Plato's nephew. Aristotle then went with Xenocrates to the court of Hermias, ruler of Atarneus in Asia Mino. After his wifes murder in 344 BC Aristotle went with his family to Mytilene. It is also reported that he stopped on Lesbos and briefly conducted biological research. In about 336 BC, Alexander departed on his Asiatic campaign, and Aristotle, who had served as an informal adviser (more or less) since Alexander ascended the Macedonian throne, returned to Athens and opened his own school of philosophy (his school became known as the Lyceum). During the thirteen years (335 BC–322 BC) which he spent as head of the Lyceum, Aristotle composed most of his writings. He eventually took up residence at his country house at Chalcis, in Euboea, and there he died the following year (322 BC).
