Plato and Aristotle (Introduction to Greek Philosophy)
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
http://www.tomrichey.net Tom Richey provides students with an introduction to Greek philosophy, contrasting Plato's idealism with Aristotle's realism and comparing the basic premise of Plato's Republic with Aristotle's Politics. In Raphael's painting, The School of Athens, Plato and Aristotle walk side by side at the center, with Plato pointing up to signify his idealism and Aristotle pointing down to signify his belief in philosophical realism. This is a starting point for understanding the key differences between Plato and Aristotle.

Hello, Tom! Excellent work, as usual. I wonder if you have something about Pitagorus who above all is not only known as amathematician, but a philosopher as well. So, it'll be of a great interest of mine if you do a video about him. :)
-
Thank you, Sir. This video is very informative and clearly distinguishes between these two.

Put the coffee cup down, mr pretentious

Needed this for my American Government and Politics class covering constitutional beginnings. Thank you. Thumbs up. 👍🏽
-
Thanks very much!
-
So essentially, (correct me if I'm wrong) both Aristotle and Plato are arguing over subjectivity and objectivity? Perception over reality? Reality over perception?
-
Hello, from one ardent theist to another, thank you for posting this primer about those two, fantastic Greeks. I simply had to subscribe to your channel.

This was very good Tom. Very educational.

You're a rockstar!

what a rant! Plato never considered as 'idealist' so does Aristotle never considered as 'realist'. As matter of fact, most scholars regards Plato as 'realist'. Hence, i suggest you should study at first hand on what is realism and idealism about respectively.
-
What books do you recommend in Aristotle politics ?
-
I love your videos! They've helped me so much with my exam revision! Could you please do a video on the theories linked with the philosophy of art?
-
Tom sir can you please explain what are criticism of Aristotle of Plato ?
-
You should have explain more than this Mr Richey this is too much general about Plato and Aristotle.
THE IDEA OF PROPERTY(Aristotle)
Property can be studied from two distinct points of view: as a
concept and as an institution. The two approaches yield very
different results. Throughout the history of thought, property
has enjoyed a mixed reputation, being identified sometimes
with prosperity and freedom, sometimes with moral corruption, social
injustice, and war. Utopian fantasies, as a rule, place the abolition of
the distinction between "mine" and "thine" at the center of their vision.
Even many thinkers favoring property view it as, at best, an unavoidable
evil. The history of all societies, on the other hand, from the most primitive
to the most advanced, reveals the universality of property claims and
the failure of every attempt to found a propertyless community, whether
voluntarily or by force. In this instance, therefore, there is an unusually
wide disparity between what mankind thinks it wants and what, judging
by its actions, it really prefers. Lewis Mumford explained this disparity
by suggesting that man lives in two worlds—the world within and the
world without, the first being the realm of ideas, wishes, and images, the
latter that of harsh, inescapable reality. "If the physical environment is
the earth, the world of ideas corresponds to the heavens." -
