All while being surrounded by illiterate savages and even without access to books.
This man, of any human, was the closest to having a four digit IQ and is definitely in the top three most influential people of all time (and Christ, who is one of his competitors, would probably be forgotten to this day if his followers weren't hanging onto Aristotle's coattails)
Why haven't you read the complete works of Aristotle yet Anon?

And you forgot to mention that he was only brought into the "Western" conceptual abstract mind only due to the muslims who already incorporated his ideas into their theology jej

Christianity wasn't aristotelian until Aquinas, it was platonic
Stoics passed him in logic
Empiricism is trash and Aquinas adoption of him presupposes the fall of christianity to pluralistic debauchery

Wasn't Aristotle educated by Plato and Socrates? How can you say he was surrounded by savages?

It doesn’t either. Aristotle founded the entire field of Metaphysics. And it was in disagreement with Plato’s philosophy that he did so.
