Euclid ( c. 325-265 BC ), of Alexandria, probably a student of one of Plato ’ s students, wrote a treatise in 13 books ( chapters ), titled The Elements of Geometry, in which he presented geometry in an ideal axiomatic form, which came to be known as Euclidean geometry.

Given that both A and not-A are seen to be “ true ,” Kant concludes that it ’ s not that “ God doesn ’ t exist ” but that there is something wrong with how we are asking questions about God and how we have been using our rational faculties to talk about universals ever since Plato got us started on this track!

Revisionists understand Plato ’ s dictum that, “ those who tell the stories also hold the power .” Sometimes the purpose is as innocent as wanting to sell more books or attract attention with a startling headline.

He likens it to Meister Eckhart ’ s ‘ istigheit ’ or ‘ is-ness ’, and Plato ’ s ‘ Being ’ but not separated from ‘ Becoming ’.

As envisioned by Husserl, phenomenology is a method of philosophical inquiry that rejects the rationalist bias that has dominated Western thought since Plato in favor of a method of reflective attentiveness that discloses the individual ’ s “ lived experience .” Loosely rooted in an epistemological device, with Sceptic roots, called epoché, Husserl ’ s method entails the suspension of judgment while relying on the intuitive grasp of knowledge, free of presuppositions and intellectualizing.

In Book II, Quintilian sides with Plato ’ s assertion in the Phaedrus that the rhetorician must be just: “ In the Phaedrus, Plato makes it even clearer that the complete attainment of this art is even impossible without the knowledge of justice, an opinion in which I heartily concur " ( Quintilian 2. 15. 29 ).

What we know of Socrates ' philosophy is almost entirely derived from Plato ’ s writings.

In Greek mythology, Enarete () or Aenarete (, Ainarete ), daughter of Deimachus, was the wife of Aeolus and ancestress of the Aeolians .< ref > Enarete is the form found in the manuscripts of Bibliotheca 1. 7. 1, which takes to be a misspelling of Aenarete, the form written in the scholia to Plato, Minos 315c, since Enarete cannot stand in a hexameter line and the Bibliotheca < nowiki >'</ nowiki > s primary source at this point is the epic Hesiodic Catalogue of Women.

Scholars typically divide Plato ’ s works into three periods: the early, middle, and late periods.

They tend to agree also that Plato ’ s earliest works quite faithfully represent the teachings of Socrates and that Plato ’ s own views, which go beyond those of Socrates, appear for the first time in the middle works such as the Phaedo and the Republic.

Aristotle (, Aristotélēs ) ( 384 BC – 322 BC ) was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great.

* Cleombrotus of Ambracia, student of Plato

Inspired by the admonition of his mentor, Socrates, prior to his unjust execution that " the unexamined life is not worth living ", Plato and his student, the political scientist Aristotle, helped lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science.

Aristotle (, Aristotélēs ) ( 384 BCE – 322 BCE ), a student of Plato, promoted the concept that observation of physical phenomena could ultimately lead to the discovery of the natural laws governing them.

* Plato: Along with his mentor, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science.

* Socrates: Widely considered the founder of Western political philosophy, via his spoken influence on Athenian contemporaries ; since Socrates never wrote anything, much of what we know about him and his teachings comes through his most famous student, Plato.

Eventually, this gifted student became dissatisfied with the level of philosophical instruction available in Alexandria, and went to Athens, the preeminent philosophical center of the day, in 431 to study at the Neoplatonic successor of the famous Academy founded 800 years ( in 387 BC ) before by Plato ; there he was taught by Plutarch of Athens ( not to be confused with Plutarch of Chaeronea ), Syrianus, and Asclepigenia ; he succeeded Syrianus as head of the Academy, and would in turn be succeeded on his death by Marinus of Neapolis.

He also gives the reader a short summary of the history of philosophy, including his interpretation of the philosophy of Socrates as part of an ongoing dispute between " cosmologists " admitting the existence of a Universal Truth and the Sophists, opposed by Socrates and his student Plato.

The first clear mention of a sunspot in Western literature, around 300 BC, was by the ancient Greek scholar Theophrastus, student of Plato and Aristotle and successor to the latter.

In the 4th century BC, two influential Greek philosophers, Plato and his student Aristotle, wrote works based on the geocentric model.

The discrepancy between rationals and reals was finally resolved by Eudoxus of Cnidus, a student of Plato, who reduced the comparison of irrational ratios to comparisons of multiples ( rational ratios ), thus anticipating Richard Dedekind's definition of real numbers.

His theories were not well known by the time of Plato, however, and they were ultimately incorporated into the work of his student, Democritus.

Plato's student Aristotle in turn criticized and built upon the doctrines he ascribed to Socrates and Plato, forming the foundation of Aristotelianism.

In 1809 Arthur Schopenhauer, the German philosopher best known for his work The World as Will and Representation, became a student at the university, where he studied metaphysics and psychology under Gottlob Ernst Schulze, who advised him to concentrate on Plato and Kant.

The word `` mimesis '' ( `` imitation '' ) is usually associated with Plato and Aristotle.

Aristotle also tended to stratify all aspects of human nature and activity into levels of excellence and, like Plato, he put the pure and unimpassioned intellect on the top level.

For both Plato and Aristotle artistic mimesis, in contrast to the power of dialectic, is relatively incapable of expressing the character of fundamental reality.

And most of the great periods are represented, because we will compare Plato and Aristotle from the golden age of Greece ; ;

Plato and Aristotle

Plato and Aristotle agree on some vital literary issues.

While Aristotle censors literature only for the young, Plato would banish all poets from his ideal state.

Even more important, in his Poetics, Aristotle differs somewhat from Plato when he moves in the direction of treating literature as a unique thing, separate and apart from its causes and its effects.

Both sides claimed that Plato and Aristotle supported their cause.

Together with Plato and Socrates ( Plato's teacher ), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy.

Eventually, they returned to Alexandria, where Ammonius, as head of the Neoplatonist school in Alexandria, lectured on Plato and Aristotle for the rest of his life.

* Karamanolis, G., ( 2006 ), Plato and Aristotle in Agreement?

It is noteworthy that Socrates ( Plato, Phaedo, 98 B ) accuses Anaxagoras of failing to differentiate between nous and psyche, while Aristotle ( Metaphysics, Book I ) objects that his nous is merely a deus ex machina to which he refuses to attribute design and knowledge.
