I remeber reading that Aristotle was the last person who comprehended entire human knowledge of his time.
But I think Artistotle is so respected in the West since Enlightment. He put an emphasis on free will and human choice in oposition to Plato.
Christianity, Islam and all other totalitarian ideologies (Nazism, Bolshevism, American Exceptionalism, Green Transformation) are neo-platonian in essence as they are based on imperative of "leading people out of cave into the light" by coercion if necessary...
Aristotle is remedy for that so democracy, tolerance and humanity are based on respect for Aristotles thought.
- eimrine 4y agoI want to disagree with every single statement except of: > But I think Artistotle is so respected in the West since Enlightment. He put an emphasis on free will and human choice in oposition to Plato. But thanks for the answer anyway, I really need to gather more information about him and his legacy before any arguing.
