In all Western philosophy is just a series of footnotes to plato, the notes written by Alexander’s old teacher, Aristotle, were more thorough than most. Aristotle was a lot more practical than Plato. Whereas Plato – who often wanted to just sit and have a good think – liked o talk with his friends. Aristotle preferred measuring and looking at the world.
