Some Different points between Aristotle and PlatoPlato – “Intellectual concepts of perfect objects needed for a priory knowledge can not be gained from experience.”
Aristotle – “Intellectual concepts of perfect objects needed for a priory knowledge can not be gained from experience, by abstraction (on the soul).”
Plato – “A priory knowledge is equal to prenatal knowledge”
Aristotle – “A priory knowledge is not prenatal, but can be gained by induction based on abstraction”
Plato – “The object of our intellectual concepts (i.e. the things we directly conceive by means of our intellectual concepts ) are the perfect forms.”
Aristotle – “The object of our intellectual concepts are the nature’s (essences, quiddities ) of material things (on the soul); These objects can not be the perfect forms of Plato, for such perfect forms can not exist.”
Difference between Plato and Aristotle
Philosophy
Science Ethics
Political Theory
In Philosophy
•Plato believed that concepts had a universal form, an ideal form, which leads to his idealistic philosophy
•Aristotle believed that universal forms were not necessarily attached to each object or concept
IN ETHICSPlato believed that wisdom is the
basic virtue and with it, one can unify all virtues into a whole.
Aristotle believed that wisdom was virtuous, but that achieving virtue was neither automatic nor did it grant any unification of other virtues.
IN SCIENCE Plato did write about Mathematics,
Geometry, and Physics, but his work was more exploratory in concept than actually applicable.
Aristotle, among a few others is considered to be one of the first true scientists. He contributed new concepts in Math, Physics, and Geometry.
