Summary

On this episode of the podcast, we continue learning about Aristotle, a man who created the first system of biological classification, the first system of logic, and the first formal scientific method. We find out why Aristotle was anti-women and pro-slavery, and learn how Plato and Aristotle differed when it came to their definitions of "tree-e-ness." We also learn why Aristotle would have been the world champion of Guess Who? and how to determine whether or not a carnivorous reptile with legs could possibly be a snake. Thank you so much for listening!

PhilosophizeThis is a chronological approach to philosophy.

0:44.1

And this whole time we've been going chronologically, but because there are so many interconnected
