Plato is delightfully weird and engaging and way more fun to read than Aristotle, agreed.

- kashyapc 2mo agoYeah, I think Plato's dialogues are unparalleled. I love the rigour, drama, and how they don't end with a clear conclusion ("aporia"), forcing you to find your own.
- DiscourseFan 2mo agoWell Aristotle's attempt to find a demonstrative science (or what we would refer to as science today) also led him to an aporia between universal categories and individual substance. It's just that Aristotle's aporia cannot be understood in Platonic terms.
