Plato or Aristotle, comrades?

Aristotle on women, Plato on everything else

M'lady

Aristotle for sure - though Plato provides many foundations, Arisu-san is literally the most influential thinker in western philosophy and science, it's practically impossible to get away from his concepts and classificatory schemes. It's also undeniable that Marx's project is noticeably Aristotelian in many ways - Aristotle's idea of human flourishing as a social practice bound into a concrete political framework, the attempt to describe the form of social processes to get at their essential/qualitative character beyond the merely phenomenal etc. Most direct is Marx's concept of a "species being", but even in his later, supposedly "anti-humanist" work I believe his rejection of utilitarianism and deontology leads him to a position quite similar to some contemporary virtue ethics. I believe there could definitely be a useful synthesis of the two traditions, taking MacIntyre and current communitarianism as a starting point.

Well, in the Republic there is no slavery (or at least Plato doesn't talk about it) and women and men are treated more or less equally since Plato doesn't distingiush between male or female essence.

EPICURUS

Plato was a giant shitposter.
The two never existed btw, they are a middle age invention.

Fedoras aside he was really the most materialist of them all.

Do you have a single source to back that up?
