Plato_and_Aristotle

Plato and Aristotle To begin with Plato and Aristotle are two of the most highly recognized and respected philosophers of their time. Plato was once the student of a philosopher by the name of Socrates and then Aristotle was a student of Plato. Because he was his teacher the two have some of the same views on certain subjects, but also had very different views on other topics as well. Both of which have reasonable arguments to back their positions. Plato has the theory of forms, which states that everything is changing, multiple, imperfect thing of a certain king in the sensible world(a many) as caused by an eternal and ideal essence, or Form, in the transcendent world(a one). Also is Plato’s view on the transcendent reality. In philosophy the transcendent reality means reality which transcends or lies beyond space and time. Thus god, as represented in classical theology is a transcendent being and true reality. However, Aristotle has different views on such matters. The difference lies in their views of forms are related to particular things. Aristotle rejects the idea of transcendent forms for an idea of immanent forms.
