 Presenatio Topic : Differences between Plato
and Aristotle
 Submitted To : M.K,bhavnagar University-
Department of English
 What are the differences between Plato and
Aristotle.
0.The primary difference between
Plato and Aristotle .lies in their
beliefs about what was most authentic
about existence.
 Plato believed that ultimate reality is not
present in everyday experiences.
 Aristotle thought that the everyday world is
more authentic than Plato’s otherworldly of
ideals.
 Plato and Aristotle appear at the center of the
ltalian master Raphael’s painting
“The school of Athens”
 Plato is pointing upward to emphasize his belief
that reality is beyond the everyday. His term for
these ideal types of reality is “the forms”.
 Plato is bolding a copy of his treatise “Timacus” in
which he describes his philosophy of the origins of
the physical world.
 Aristotle on the other hand, has a copy of the
“Ethics” he wrote in his hand.
 His hand is spread out before him, showing his
emphasis on the Earth and the vast spectrum of
moral teachings.
Both Plato and Aristotle wrote about
many
Different subjects of the day, ranging from the
proper
form of government to a definition of aesthetic
beauty to the very nature of reality. The divide
between their perspectives has remained in
place among modern philosophers as well.
