Aristotle and Plato on relationships  

Definición

  • The eminent 20th-century philosopher Alfred North Whitehead is reported to have said, “All of Western philosophy is but a footnote to Plato—and Aristotle wrote most of the footnote.” Indeed, the seminal contributions of Plato and Aristotle, writing in Athens 2,500 years ago, are foundational for nearly all Western scholarship, including the various social science approaches to understanding human relationships. Plato's writings are in the form of dialogues centered around his teacher, Socrates, so that it is impossible today to sort out which ideas are Socrates' and which are Plato's.
