An Academic philosopher. He was a pupil of Philo of Larissa at the Academy, but he diverged from the scepticism of Philo and his predecessors. He was a teacher of Cicero, and the first of a new breed of eclectics among the Platonists, he endeavoured to bring the doctrines of the Stoics and the Peripatetics into Platonism, and stated, in opposition to Philo, that the mind could distinguish true from false. In doing do, he claimed to be reviving the doctrines of the Old Academy. With him began the phase of philosophy known as Middle Platonism.

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. The Organon is the standard collection of Aristotle's six works on logic. The name Organon was given by Aristotle's followers, the Peripatetics. The Organon was used in the school founded by Aristotle at the Lyceum, and some parts of the works seem to be a scheme of a lecture on logic. So much so that after Aristotle's death, his publishers (Andronicus of Rhodes in 50 BC, for example) collected these works.

A Greek physician from Bithynia in Asia Minor and flourished at Rome, where he established Greek medicine near the end of the 2nd century BCE. He travelled much when young, and seems at first to have settled at Rome as a rhetorician but he acquired great reputation as a physician. Discarding the humeral doctrine of Hippocrates, he founded his medical practice on a modification of the atomic or corpuscular theory. His ideas were likely partly derived from the atomic theory of the philosopher Democritus.
