Aristotle and Plato compared
1- Plato
He believed there is a world the Noumena, that is non-physical and has
true forms of everything and is perfect
Aristotle
He didn't think there was a world more real than ours, that can be called
an object of true knowledge
2- Plato
Forms of the Good is the illuminating factor over everything else, top of
the hierarchy.
Aristotle
The Prime Mover is the reason everything is in motion, and the first
cause of the cause and effects.
3- Plato
Form of the good isn't a being with a mind, it has no emotions or
goals. It has no activity within our reality. We can learn more about it
after death.
Aristotle
The Prime Mover draws things in, causing them to move and change.
We have no knowledge if we can gain more facts about it after death
4- Plato
Rationalism is how we gain knowledge (reason)
Aristotle
Empiricism is how we gain knowledge (senses)
