In this paper you will describe how it is that each of one of these philosophers comes to know the world around them. Each train of thought, though distinct from each other, has significantly contributed to how we understand knowledge of our surroundings today. While one theory draws on the power to reason (PLATO), the other depends on the collection of empirical data (ARISTOTLE).
Structure of this paper:
Not only will you describe each theory but you will attach one of your beliefs to its
validity. Your introduction should state this important link in its premise.
Explain Plato’s Epistemology. A nice way to do this is to use examples, such as various ‘Forms’ that relate to specific physical objects. Describe the relationship between these ‘Forms’ and objects. Another useful tool here is the Allegory of the Cave.
Next, explain Aristotle’s Epistemology. Again, use concrete, everyday examples to depict how Aristotle talks about ‘form and matter’. How is it that these things exist inherently together within any given particular thing? What is substance? How does this relate to a thing’s essence?
Lastly, contrast these theories of knowledge. The Third Man Argument can help to explain the differences. Then you will explain how your belief is attributed more to one Epistemology than the other, or to neither (with a detailed explanation as to why). As you are thinking about which theory fits your belief the best, understand that rational thought is the groundwork for one of the epistemologies and that the scientific method is a result of the other.
