Plato and Aristotle - Coggle Diagram

- - - - We think the world we see is the real world, but it isn't (that's why we can't gain knowledge from experience)
        
        The true world is the World of the Forms
        
        Perfect, eternal and unchanging forms of the everyday things we experience
- - - - Doing good is not just a matter of know what is good - you also need to be a good person
- - - - It would reject final causation, however
        
        Modern science claims the world is just material atoms in fields of force like gravity which exert efficient causation on each other
        
        There is no such thing as purpose in reality
        
        We might give things purpose in our mind - but that doesn't mean it actually has purpose in reality
- - - - So, there must be a Prime Mover causing the motion that we experience in the world to continue
        
        This Prime Mover is a pure mind which eternally thinks about itself and never changes
        
        It causes motion by things in the world being attracted to it
        
        It it is final cause of the universe - the end towards which all things are attrachted and thus move
  - - - If you throw a ball in space - it will just keep going, because there is no fristion
        
        So, Aristotle was wrong to think motion runs out. It just gets transferred into a different type of energy
        
        So, there is no need for the Prime Mover
