Aristotle's teacher was Plato, the great ancient Greek philosopher and founder of the Academy. Aristotle studied under Plato for many years and was deeply influenced by him, although he later developed his own distinct philosophical ideas. Plato himself was a student of Socrates, forming a key lineage in Western philosophy. This teacher-student relationship between Plato and Aristotle played a pivotal role in shaping philosophical thought and education in ancient Greece.
