>"plato was wrong tbqh"
>"woah genius"
why is this hack held in such high regard again?

[Anonymous No.11580438]

He never said "Plato is 100% wrong about everything he ever said". Many of Aristotle's works, like his Physics, Metaphysics, and Ethics are heavily systematised, well-thought out versions of the same things that Plato talked about in dialogues like Timaeus, Parmenides, and Meno, respectively, to put out a few examples. Aristotle may have rejected ideas as existing independently of noumenal experience, but I highly doubt that Aristotle would have disagreed with statements such as "Wisdom is virtue". The most important thing that Aristotle picked up by studying at the Academy was learning how to arrive upon a conclusion by the means of reason, and this skill is much more important than any of the sacred, obscure doctrines (concering the relationship between the universe and the suos of individuals) that the Academics preserved.

Have you actually read his work? Do you understand its historical context?

If you've answered, "Yes," to both these questions, yet still made this thread, then I'm sorry OP, but you're fated to a life of uttermost plebeian-ness and no number of anons explaining Aristotle to you will save you from yourself. Just get a business or technical degree, and stay away from science, mathematics, philosophy, and the arts.

I honestly can't even imagine your perspective, OP. I don't think you comprehend the circumstances under which we all exist or how they came to be. I think you're almost, if not entirely, devoid of understanding altogether, and probably no more than a scoffer, a fanboy, and an imbecile.

To even consider using the word hack regarding Aristotle says you don't even understand the importance of choosing your words. It is one of the chief powers man possesses, and you make a mockery of it and yourself by applying that term to a man it couldn't possibly fit under any examination.

Quit posturing, OP. You aren't an intellectual and if you ever want to be one, you'll drop this ludicrous arrogance straight away.

Aristotle was the first Enlightened Centrist; never making a strong claim in one direction or the other, sitting firmly on the safety of the fence. Plato had the balls to at least experiment with some more radical and novel ideas. If Aristotle were alive today he'd be one of those neoliberal "I fucking love science" types that would promote Science(TM) ideas like "gender fluidity" and "cuckoldry".

He's right in that it's retarded for us to look down on Aristotle, but he's really playing down the importance of Plato, Socrates and the pre-socratics. There was a lot of genius there.
