Aristotle & Plato duke out to determine who was the best philosopher

if you don't get the joke about the chair and e.t.c. Here is what http://www.youtube.com/StMattofDurham said: "
It's been a very long time since I formally studied them, but if I remember correctly, Aristotle wasn't very concerned with the inner life of the mind, or motivation. He was more concerned with action or presence. What happens in your mind is largely irrelevant. I've heard it summarized by saying, "What is, is." A chair is a chair because it functions as a chair. Aristotle is often thought of as the father of science for this reason. Plato on the other hand was more mystical and wishy-washy (eg. his shadows on the wall of a cavern illustration to explain the concept of the soul and reality.) He was interested in what was it about a chair's nature that made it a chair. His ideas were easily appropriated into early Christianity (along with one of his intellectual descendents, Plotinus.) Anyway, that's a gross over-simplification. I hope I didn't just totally confuse you. \_(ツ)_/¯"
