>Coleridge observes that all men are born Aristotelians or Platonists. The latter feel that ideas are realities: the former, that they are generalizations. For the latter, language is nothing but a system of arbitrary symbols: for the former, it is the map of the universe. The Platonist knows that the universe is somehow a cosmos, an order; that order, for the Aristotelian, can be an error or a fiction of our partial knowledge. Across the latitudes and the epochs, the two immortal antagonists change their name and language: one is Parmenides, Plato, Anselm, Leibnitz, Kant, Francis Bradley; the other, Heraclitus, Aristotle, Roscelin, Locke, Hume, William James.
Are you an Aristotelian or a Platonist?

Aristotelian
the greatest of all the world's tragedies is that Plato's nonsense was not burned in the library of Alexandria with countless other scrolls of gnostic wiffle
Cartesian.

If I have to pick one then Aristotelian.
I'm not a fan of either but fuck Plato's madness.
Sounds like life, passion, feeling, beauty, love aesthetics, energy vs. logic chopping, u can't kno nothing :^), autism, abstraction, and the mortification of everything that makes life worth living to be honest family.
Aristotle is a chump compared to Plato.

the orderly process by which he comes to that conclusion seems to indicate that the sentiment is self defeating.
Logical positivism can be said to be the final form of Aristotelian thought; and its been widely disproven.
But to be honest Spinoza already has made room for both under one umbrella of thought.

if I must be a rationalist, then plato is the least retarded. aristotle is normie-tier and leads to what we call science today :pure retardation.
