Evaluation of Aristotle’s thought

Lesson Outcomes To be able to describe the qualities of the Prime Mover. To be able to evaluate Aristotle’s epistemology.

Cow time! Literacy Target Check that you have spelt all the key words correctly. Take the time to check over the rest of your work for any other spelling mistakes. Ask for a dictionary or use the internet to check over any words that you are not sure are correct.

An evaluation of Aristotle’s thought Although Aristotle was a genius, he did not inherit Plato’s academy. Plato left it to a nephew instead. This may have been due to family loyalties but probably, it was because Plato know that Aristotle’s beliefs were just too different to his own. Aristotle’s work is difficult to evaluate because it often lacks clarity. Although Plato wrote in clear elegant prose, with plenty of examples to make sure others understood him, in contrast Aristotle’s work is difficult to follow. Many scholars believe the surviving writings of Aristotle were only meant to be lecture notes.

Plato’s Form of the Good compared to Aristotle’s Prime Mover In some ways, these two different ideas have a lot in common. Both Plato’s ideas about the form of the Good, and Aristotle’s ideas about the Prime Mover, have been influential on the Christian idea of God. Plato’s Form of the Good gives them the concept of God as the perfect form of Goodness. Aristotle’s Prime Mover gives them the concept of God who is the ultimate cause of all that exists.

Prime Mover Versus the Form of Good Compare and Contrast the Prime Mover with the Form of the Good… Similarities Difference Hints: Cause of everything Necessary existence Not interactive Perfect nature Being/essence Can we experience them? Stretch yourself: How have both these ideas influenced Christianity?
