I'm gonna read Aristotle rather than Plato
I don't like either of them but Plato's shit seems like peak sophistry. Aristotle might at least be somewhat coherent + he came after so he has that added hindsight.

>Sophistry means philosophy I don't like
For somebody who doesn't want to read Plato you got the spirit of what he said down pretty well.

You seem too tainted for Aristotle. I'd recommend going into him via Heidegger to clean up your act with some hermeneutics.

the Platonic dialogues are the whole reason you're using the word sophistry as an insult.

Yes. Look at the damage he did to public discourse.

Science the art of not reading nor listening

You don't have to watch the pot cause it's timed

No wonder they can't follow the flow of the conversation

You are not smart enough to grasp plato, you know it deep inside
Anonymous No.24476887 [Report] >>24476957
why was there no one smarter than both Plato and Aristotle that tried to combine them, within at minimum 300 years of Plato and Aristotle?

because one is metaphyiscal and the other is deductive logic through observation.

two completely different schools of thought

are you somehow implying that aristotle was not metaphysical? one of his most principal works is "Metaphysics"
Anonymous No.24476984 [Report]
>>24476975
Not at all what im implying.
They both studied metaphysics. Plato focused much more on theoretics. The forms for example.

unlike the rationalist and empiricist debate they weren't split along the same dogmatic debate line, even though they kinda were depending on what you read and they both use form as a concept

he was more empirical but still made conceded that universals are more real even though we are more immediately familiar with particulars
