Perhaps the greatest philosopher of his time, and surely one the greatest philosophers of all time. Aristotle was alive in Greece from 384-322 B.C.
Aristotle is well remembered for his development of "logic." Do note that he did not (obviously) invent logic, however greatly influenced it's progression.
His format on which he based his logic was used for centuries after his death -- and much is still echoed even today.
Specifically, Aristotle produced provocative arguments and commentaries centering around humanity and human functions. Among them, the singular lifestyle that, if adopted plurally, would yield true and sustained happiness to all -- forever. However, after hearing a lecture on the subject, you truly need not look any further than the utopias and dystopias illustrated throughout literature, such as in "The Giver" or "Brave New World." Aristotle's philosophy on 'true happiness,' perhaps original for its time, has become almost as common as a cliche' and just as easily passed off as "wishful thinking."
However, the beauty of logic is that it never actually needs to be congruent with realism.

Aristotle said:
"The individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing, and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But whoever is unable to live in society, or who has no need of it because he is sufficienct for himself, must be either a beast or a god."

Get the aristotle mug.An asshole architect who thinks he/she is superior to all others on a project. Aristotects can be distinguished by their unusual, usually thick, black-rimmed glasses and their great effort to look out of place (i.e.: wearing 4" stilettos during a Construction site review)
Aristotects commonly drive Land Rover Discoveries, "for when they have to visit the site", despite the fact they they always park in a paved parking lot and are transported to the actual project site via a small golf cart or other vehicle.

Get the aristotect mug.While typically heterosexual in nature, aristosexuality is characterized by the sexual attraction to aristocracy, or otherwise power, wealth, and influence. Examples of aristosexuals include the Queen (for obvious reasons), Lana Del Rey (See Money Power Glory), Halsey (Castle is a metaphor for her exploration of aristosexuality) and many more.
I'd never heard of aristosexuality before, but once my friend confessed her attraction to aristocracy I understood the importance of her having something to identify as.
