Master Don Juan
There are five divisions of philosophy. They are metaphysics, epistomology, ethics, politics, and esthetics. In order for a philosophical school to even begin to approach legitimacy, these five schools must not contradict each other.
The foundation of any philosophy is it's metaphysics, it's definition and conception of existence, and what exists in nature, without the intervention of man.
Aristotle completely destroyed Plato's metaphysics. He rendered everything Plato had to say, moot. Plato's "forms" are the basis of all irrationality, of the conviction that the non-existent exists in a different dimension. The example of a chair is a perfect one. Plato sais the "form" of a chair exists naturally, in some kind of all-encompassing ether, and man just brings it into existence. Do you see the implications of this? The philosophical witchcraft of Plato is what made possible Immanuel Kant, the destroyer of the mind. And it was Kant who made Marx possible, who advocated that production is not the province of the individual who brings it into existence, but that production exists in everyone, in the ether, and so you have "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." And we all know the history of that one. If you can make the logical connections, you will see that the legacy of Plato is all the death and destruction in man's history. You will see that Plato's true "ideal" were the mountains of corpses in the USSR, Nazi Germany, China, Southeast Asia, and on.
Aristotle said, "A is A." The Law of Non-Contradictory Identification. A piece of lumber is a piece of lumber, and it will remain so until it is acted upon by an outside force. According to Aristotle, a chair exists because man designed it and brought it into reality for the first time. He may have taken inspiration from a rock, or something else that men had sat on, but a chair did not exist as a "form" until man first made it. We have chairs to sit on today because we borrow the concept from the first man who made a chair, not from some kind of esoteric ether.
In Platonian metaphysics, you argue that a chair existed as a form in nature. As ridiculous as that is, how do you explain the existence of space shuttles and nuclear reactors? Were they also "manifested" from the ether? Ugh, all this Platonian mysticism is giving me a headache.
Aristotle is the philosopher who made possible the scientist who discovered the laws of reality, who made possible the inventor who created everything you use and everything you see.
