One of the students in this university was Aristotle who studied for 20 years, after that he founded his own school,Lyceum. Academy was still goes on until the death of Philo of Larissa in 83 BC during the period Helesentrik. In the reign of Rome philosophy Plato is still taught in Athens. In 410 the academy re-established as a center for Neoplatonism. Neoplatonism is a term for a school that focused on the mystical of the spiritual aspects and cosmology. Academy was closed by Emperor Justinian Neoplato I in 529.This Academy is was the beginings of the university.




         After years and years pass,many universities in Europe are considered as the development of education held a church or convent school, because at that time the Christian religion greatly influenced European. But everything change when Crusade's war appear.

   After the Crusades, the church cann't dominate European. Because of the crusade war, more open view of European society  on the aspects of knowledge. As a result of the Crusades Muslim culture,  such as philosophy, astronomy, etc. attract European people to learn it.Europe also began to translate the science and philosophy's books from Arabic to Latin language.Europeans began to translate the books since the 11th until the 13th century. And because of this too , philosophy in Europe increase. This condition affect the establishment of schools and universities outside of the church in the 10th century, since the time of Charlemagne.
