Summary/Abstract: All that came to us, in spite of millennia, started up and later realized in the young Aristotle. Although the intention of the text is a brief biography of man of Stagira it is very demanding as any other philosophical discussion. For this type of analyses Aristotle, not only to his students but also to all of us, gives certain instructions. The biography is not displayed only on the basis of a systematic enumeration of personal features but, above all, is based on the exposure of his works as a mirror of his nature and character. Regardless of the teaching in prestigious academies (Plato), it was before Aristotle’s arrival “resided” in the seventeen year old boy waiting for a favorable moment to bring forth works like Eudema, Organon, Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, Metaphysics and other whose true author, beyond all kinds of imitation, influence and reinterpretation, is “young” Aristotle.
