Poems Plato-Aristotle

Plato and Aristotle articulated reality as a relationship between form and substance. Their ideas were necessarily alternate and opposite. Though Plato favored form (ideas), and Aristotle favored substance (physical reality), their separate perspectives are inextricably linked ( it is not possible to have form without substance except in our mind).

Plato - World of Abstracts - Ideas

The Platonic, idealistic, way of thinking is that abstract ideas define concrete realities, and if something is not an idea, or a form, it does not exist. Plato's thinking, symbolized by a 0, can be thought of as general, feminine and abstract. For Plato, the general idea of a person is more important than any specific, actual person. Thinking in form means there is only one person.

Aristotle - World of Concretes - Realities

The Aristotelian, realistic, way of thinking is that realities define ideas, and if something is not a reality, or a substance, it does not exist. Aristotle's thinking, symbolized by a 1, can be thought of as specific, masculine and concrete. For Aristotle, the specific, actual person is more important than the general idea of a person. Thinking in substance means there are an unlimited number of people.

Plato and Aristotle - A Very Basic Circle

Symbolically, Plato and Aristotle were articulating alternate views of reality, creating a very basic circle in the process. Plato's attention was on the abstract, singular circumference, or form, and Aristotle's was on the concrete multiple, moving diameter, or substance. Their argument, or alternate views of reality, itself, forms a very basic (the diameter of a) circle.

Philosophy/Religion - World of Abstract; Science - World of Concrete

Plato and Aristotle represent opposite systems, ideologies or views of the world. Plato's idealism is the foundation for, and is demonstrated by, all the world's religion, where universal ideas dominate, and define, specific realities. Aristotelian realism is the foundation for, and is demonstrated by, science, where specific realities dominate, and define, universal ideas. Plato and Aristotle, religion and science, represent the relationship of form and substance.

Hegel - World of Both - Form & Substance, Ideas & Realities

Hegel introduced the concept of integrating opposite views by taking a thesis and its anti-thesis, and creating a synthesis, or combination of the two. Until Hegel, (and even to this day), people felt moved to chose either Plato or Aristotle's style of thinking, one or the other, as the 'correct' way to look at things: form over substance, generalizations over details, ideas over realities, abstracts over concretes, religion over science, or vice versa. Integrating Plato, Aristotle and Hegel, however, creates a system where ideas and realities, abstract and concrete, or form and substance, are present in the same moment, separation possible only in thought (and certainly never necessary).

Using Hegel's synthesis, religion and science, or form and substance, are articulating the same thing. All entities are form and substance, ideal and real, abstract and concrete, Plato and Aristotle, day and night, a set of general opposite pairs. Where we place our attention, alone, determines what we will experience, and how we will label. The relationship between form and substance defines a very basic circle (sound).

Plato, Aristotle, Hegel Create a Circle

Plato and Aristotle, a very basic pair, the diameter of an important circle, were thinking, and articulating, by, for, in, within, because of, and as, a circle.Their alternate perspectives are caused by, and because of, as form and as substance, a very basic circle. This is, and they demonstrate, Conservation of the Circle is the absolute-intelligence (science) and the infinite-intelligence (philosophy or religion) beneath, guiding, driving and linking form, substance (sound), energy, mass (light), time and space (circle). The circle ties Plato and Aristotle, or the ideal and the real, finally, firmly, and perpetually, together.

Conservation of the Circle is the basis for reality.
