I have a HUGE question that I just cannot find the answers to! Does anyone by any chance know what Plato in Timaeus described one part eternal, changeless, intelligible and most like knowledge, and the second part of the question something that is finite or mortal, changeable, perceptible, and more like opinion? I have been reading Timaeus and searching the internet but I just cannot seem to find the answers I am looking for. Help?

I'm sure this was pointed out already but Aristotle actually fled Athens after Alexander's death, wryly remarking 'lest Athens sin against philosophy twice'. He was to be brought up on trumped-up impiety charges do to his association with Athen's Macedonian overlords, who they never really considered true Greeks. He followed Alexander in death a year later.

No metaphysics, ethics or poetics? I'm a little disappointed that the video spent so much time discussing the least interesting and (through the lens of contemporary philosophy) least relevant ideas of Aristotle. I guess they wouldn't fit the -empiricist- story so well though.

Aristotle wore 3 layers of clothes to look bigger. Only cared for materialistic reality. Plato cared more for answers to things that could not be seen heard or felt. Those answers would also transcend into physical reality. Socrates was a hardcore badass.

If Plato was able to visit modern world, and learned that Tensor Calculus builds Relativity which explains how planets and stars behave, and that Schroedinger-s equation explains matter behavior, he would have shouted A-HA!

I love how John says Aristotle was a 100 % wrong a 100% of the time and refers to him as his old nemesis in his literature course on Oedipus, while hank tho recognising his faults does sorta love him.

Hey I've been watching those African History videos weren't Aristotle and Plato black? Or was it just Socrates? Curiously confused.
See Gregory Love's comment below, eleven down.
