hey guys, can you recommend me some good resources to get a basic overview and better understand plato + aristotle besides their full known works (and wikipedia)? thanks
>>
Yeah sure have you tried their full known works
>>
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato/
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle/
>>

just do the Oxford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

or take an entry course in philosophy
>>
The jpg you posted literally answers your entire question
>>
>>9215503
This. It's literally all you're going to learn from a basic overview, or general introductory class.
Plus the picture's also got book recommendations.

I type Timeo into Wikipeida and what I get is this shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZootFly#ZootFly

Aristotle waves his hands to the material world
Plato points up to the ideal world

Hi Aristotle *waves*

I think it's supposed to be Timaeus, whereas the other is Ethics.

Plato believes in the oneness of the Good, Right, and Beautiful. There is an ideal type of things which exists independent of their existence in the multitude (i.e. an ideal man, as opposed to real (wo)men like you me others etc.)
Aristotle is more practical, and materialistic (not really - for him the ideas can't exist independent of their material existence - you go figure out what that means because I didn't). His highest good is happiness, excellence, and seeking knowledge.

So although this picture is somewhat a caricature of the two, it works as an "overview" of both of them, as well as for the remainder of Western philosophy up until Kant (rationalism vs. empiricism).

hi!

>>9215622
Why is Plato depicted in mid-stride and Aristotle with feet firmly planted?
>>
>>9216578
Holy crap... so many layers. Raphael was a genius.
>>
>>9216578
Same reason as their gestures. Again Plato goes beyond (second navigation, etc.) while Aristotle is the practical guy, he looks for the forms in matter and not in the Hyperuranium.

>>9216597
This is why it's my favorite painting ever.

>Plato depicted in mid-stride.

Plato died before he could finish sophist-politician-philosopher trilogy, I guess it could be related to that.

Is this perhaps also why Plato is barefoot and Aristotle has footwear? Plato's freedom from earthly binding contrasted with Aristotle's practicality?

What about the colors they wear? Aristotle's clothes are of earth and sky, and Plato is in red and purple, perhaps representing the divine nature of his philosophy?
>>
>>9218564
Yes and yes. For example whenever Raphael paints a Madonna with child, or even without, she's almost always in red and purple.

But there's more... look at this picture, this is Mary's marriage to Joseph. Notice something?

...Raphael is playing with complementary colors.

By making Plato and Aristotle co-protagonists of the painting, he is not choosing between them, he's choosing both.

He is marrying Platonism, represented not just by the philosopher himself but by the Timaeus Plato is holding, with Aristotelianism, represented by Aristotle's Ethics.

I can't stress enough what an amazing painting it is and what a way to encapsulate the Reinassance, he wrote a manifesto with only two words
