What was Alexander taught?

Answer 1

His first tutor was his great-uncle Leonidas (the uncle of his mother Olympias). Leonidas taught him on the Sparta model of the agoge. (Look up Spartan training.) He also learned the usual "Three Rs."

Aristotle was hired by Philip II (his dad) as his tutor, when he was 12-13. He was taught what was emerging as Aristotle's standard stuff. (At this point in time, Aristotle was *not yet famous*, note). Logic, rhetoric, eristics (arguing either side in a debate), ethics, science, politics. Apparently, he also learned a little medicine from Aristotle (whose father had been a physician ... in fact, that's how Aristotle got his job -- his father had been the personal physician to King Amyntas, Philip II's father). Later, Alexander was known for showing up in the hospital tent to help, and even to give medical advice to his friends. :-) The other thing Aristotle did was annotate a personal copy of the ILIAD just for Alexander.

Answer 2

Aristotle was Alexander's teacher from the time Alexander was a child. Aristotle's teachings opened Alexander's eyes to what was out there in the world. What was to be conquered.

There is a statement that reflects Alexander's passion.

Alexander wept when he heard from Anaxarchus that there was an infinite number of worlds; and his friends asking him if any accident had befallen him, he returns this answer: "Do you not think it a matter worthy of lamentation that when there is such a vast multitude of them, we have not yet conquered one?" (Plutarch)

The next few paragraphs are excerpts from the websites I have listed for you:

Alexander was educated by the great philosopher Aristotle of Stagira. The school at Mieza can still be visited.

The king of Macedonia, Philip (Alexander's Father), appointed Aristotle to teach his young son, Alexander. (Aristotle's appointment likely came from his family connections, but, no doubt, his twenty year stint at the Academy helped.) Aristotle proved to be a brilliant teacher of both rhetoric and the art of efficient public speech. His young student, however, had little regard for "logic choppers," and few, if any, of Aristotle's ideals rubbed off on Alexander the great.

Aristotle's intellectual range was vast, covering most of the sciences and many of the arts. He worked in physics, chemistry, Biology, zoology, and botany; in psychology, political theory, and ethics; in logic and metaphysics; and in history, literary theory, and rhetoric. He invented the study of formal logic, devising for it a finished system, known as syllogistic, that was considered the sum of the discipline until the 19th century; his work in zoology, both observational and theoretical, also was not surpassed until the 19th century. His ethical and political theory, especially his conception of the ethical virtues and of human flourishing ("happiness"), continue to exert great influence in philosophical debate. The effects these had on his student, Alexander, must have been significant.
