Jokes about Aristotle

Aristotle is an ancient philosopher, a disciple of Plato and tutor of Alexander the Great. He instilled in Western thinkers the spirit of rationalism and argumentation. There were a number of bad jokes about him that could describe part of his personality to us, they say, Aristotle was a lisping and arrogant man with crooked legs, who paid a lot of attention to his hairstyle and walked around in expensive rings. In ancient times it was vulgar. The philosopher Plato condemned men who looked after themselves like girls, but such evil jokes were made about his pupil. Then Socrates was brought closer to the ideal of a man's appearance, who did not care what was going on on his head, and he walked barefoot.

Aristotle studied at Plato's Academy from the age of 17 to 35, where he debated with his teacher, attacked him verbally. The disciple's disagreement with the teacher can be observed in Aristotle's book "Politics", where he criticizes the ideas described by Plato in the dialogue "The State". As the anecdote on this topic said: "He looks like a colt who beats his mother with his hoof, who feeds him milk." Aristotle left the academy because he did not like the philosophical spirit in it and later he would create his own academy called the Lyceum.

Aristotle is also called the teacher of the West, although he never wanted to teach anyone, because his texts are his personal thinking, this is his dialogue with himself and his texts need a special approach, because they are difficult to understand, as Aristotle said: "... only those with whom we are with will understand my texts we talked...".
