Ég és föld a különbség? Platón és Arisztotelész lélektana. Hasonlóságok és különbségek
Is there Difference between Sky and Earth? or The Difference between Plato and Aristotle’s Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: Plato did not believe in the senses. For him the sensual, empirical cognition was deceitful and lead astray. He searched for reality, for the secret of existence among the gods, while the physical reality belonged to the world of shadows. However, our true being is the soul. The body is at most the mirror image of the soul, but rather a nuisance, detachable prison. We are not terrestrial but heavenly planted in the insights. In contrast, Aristotle, tireless researcher of the secrets of nature trusts the senses, and seeks for the elements of the knowledge in the ground realities. He gives a novel explanation for the existence of the soul: it is true that every single person has his own soul, but this soul isn’t an immortal God, as in Plato, but is destined to rot together with the material and mortal body.
