    If anyone’s curious, Aristotle was Plato’s student, so Aristotle is the younger of the two men, and Plato is the older one.

      Also Plato points upwards bc his philosophy is more about idealism whereas Aristotle points forward bc he’s concerned with empirical Philosophy iirc

        Oh fuck I’m confusing Socrates and Aristotle! I’m going to go read dialectics in shame.
