Aristotle and Plato’s Concepts of the philosophy
written by Roki Ahmed Biplob
*Key Concepts of the philosophy of Aristotle
*Aristotle: Aristotle was an ancient Greek Philosopher who contributed the foundation of both symbolic logic and scientific thinking to the first philosopher to seriously advance a theory one of the three major schools of ethical thought taken most seriously by the contemporary philosophers.
*Logic: Aristotle basically influenced almost all forms of knowledge. He is the best known or the founder of formal logic. Now I am giving some quotes of Aristotle about logical thinking.
1) He said, ``Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim, and human existence.’’
2) ``Learning is not child’s play; we can not learn without pain.’’
3) ``He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.’’
4) Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.’’
*Ethics: Aristotle emphasizes the role of habit in conduct. It is commonly thought that virtues, according to Aristotle, are habits and that the good life is a life of mindless routine. Aristotle uses the word hexis to denote moral virtue. Virtue manifests itself in action Counts or virtuous, according to Aristotle, When one holds oneself in a stable equilibrium of the souls, in order to choose the action knowingly and for its own sake. For Aristotle moral virtue is the only practical road to effective action.
*Politics: In his politics, Aristotle seeks to explain the nature and purpose of a state. He discovers what constitution and law would be best.
Political statement of Aristotle:
*Man is naturally sociable and that they are naturally drawn to various political associations in order to satisfy their social needs.
*Philosophy of Plato:
*Plato: Plato was the Athenian philosopher during the classical period in Ancient Greece. He was the founder of the Platonist school of thought. He was born in 428/427 BC. And died 348/347 BC.
*Plato’s theory of forms:
One of the most challenging aspects of Plato's philosophy is his ``theory of forms’ which is the idea that non-physical forms represent the most accurate reality.
*Platonic Forms:
The platonic forms, according to Plato are just ideas of things that actually exist. According to Plato every object or quality, in reality, has a form. For examples dogs, cats, humans, etc. From answer the question what is that?
*Plato’s political philosophy:
Plato has given some statements about politics.
1)``Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the law.’’
2)No law or ordinance is mightier than understanding.
*Knowledge and Opinion:
Knowledge and Opinion
Plato’s Contrast of knowledge and opinion
• Knowledge is a mental faculty/power that allows us to apprehend.
• Ignorance is the opposite of knowledge.
• The opinion is subject to error but knowledge is not.
• Different faculties involve different ‘’spheres’’ Opinion involves a different faculty and has a different subject matter.
• Particular is the subject matter of Opinion.
