Aristotle was suspected of playing a role in Alexander's death, but there is little evidence.

11.

In general, the details of the life of Aristotle are not well-established. The biographies of Aristotle written in ancient times are often speculative and historians only agree on a few points.

12.

Aristotle wrote the Nicomachean Ethics, it consists of ten books, originally separate scrolls, and is understood to be based on notes from his lectures at the Lyceum, which were either edited by or dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus. These ten books can be compared to confucious' analects.

13.

Most Greek philosophers agreed that virtue is a form of knowledge. They generally thought that self-examination leads to self-knowledge which in turn leads to the good life. For the moral virtues Aristotle found this knowledge in a mean that is "relative to us" and is shown to us by phron‘sis, a concept that parallels with the Confucian yi.

14.

So Aristotle did a lot more knowledge based philosophy while confucious mainly philosophized on spiritual ideas which were included in his analects.
