Aristotle's Academe: The Lyceum The Lyceum, the school founded by Aristotle, is where he taught a comprehensive program of subjects: philosophy, logic, astronomy, physics, biology, meteorology, poetry, drama, ethics, politics, psychology, and economics. Modern universities are the result of the continuation of the tradition started by Aristotle's Lyceum in teaching such a broad range of subjects. The first university in our history, however, is the Academy of Plato. Plato founded this school on the behalf of teaching philosophy; the teaching for his students began with mathematics. When Plato died, his successor as head of the Academy became his nephew, not Aristotle, yet Aristotle had been a prominent student at the Academy.
