Articulate 1
Among the variety of philosophers who preceded Socrates, and thus are referred to as “Pre-Socratics,” identify two of these thinkers from Chapter 4. Pick one who is a materialist and one who is an immaterialist. Using a direct quote from the textbook (cite page number) or the PowerPoint articulate the major interest and thesis of each.
Articulate 2
Present the critical differences between the metaphysics of Plato and Aristotle. Use references from the textbook, either via direct quote or paraphrase (cite page number). What does each mean by the concept of “Form” or “form” per Solomon and Higgins? A link to a helpful video on this is also provided for you.
Argument
Defend, don’t explain (you’ve done that above), whether Plato’s or Aristotle’s metaphysics makes the most sense? Give examples or evidence to support your position.
