Aristotle's Academe: The Lyceum The Lyceum which Aristotle founded 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, which teaching for his students began with mathematics. When Plato died his successor as head of the Academy became his nephew, and not Aristotle, who had been a prominent student at the Academy.
