Aristotle’s school, the Lyceum, was established in Athens. He set up his teaching there after returning from his time with Plato and before moving on to tutor Alexander the Great, and the walking-together style of teaching earned the school its Peripatetic nickname. Athens was the central hub of philosophical activity in this period, making it the natural home for Aristotle’s inquiries in logic, biology, ethics, and politics. The other cities—Sparta was renowned for its military society, not philosophical schools; Miletus and Ephesus were important Ionian centers with their own early philosophers, but they are not associated with Aristotle’s Lyceum.
