Read Explanation:

Aristotle founded the Peripatetic school of philosophy in 335 BC in the Lyceum in Athens. The school was also known as the Lyceum because of its association with the gymnasium. 

  • The school was informal and its members conducted scientific and philosophical inquiries. 

  • The school was named after the peripatoi, or walkways, of the Lyceum where the members met. 

  • The school was named Peripatetic because Aristotle was known to walk around the grove while lecturing his students. 

  • The school's work laid the groundwork for the development of modern science.
