Lately I've been studying and comparing the theories of Aristotle and Plato. I would say that the most controversial opposing theory of the two will have to be on the subject of conceptualization of reality.
Plato believed in the duality of two worlds: the sensible world and the world of ideas.) For Plato the materiality of things, what falls under the action of the senses, is no more than a world of appearances and shadows. He explains his conceptualization of reality through he myth of 'the allegory of the cave'. With this myth Plato intends to signify that men live like they are locked away in a cave, and that the knowledge they have of things that surround them is not real knowledge, but merely an opinion, a dim reflection of the true reality.
Aristotle on the other hand, thought that Plato was unrealistic. He believed that reality could not be found in a world apart from the separate ideas of the sensible world, claiming it was an unnecessary duplication of things. Aristotle believed in what he could see, in palpable evidence.
If you lived in Athens Greece 320 B.C, which theory do you think would've had your support?
