In this essay I will describe Aristotle’s and Plato’s metaphysics and ethics, and show that Aristotle’s theory is superior. I will argue that Aristotle’s theory is more relatable to the layman.

It all started when the ancient people of Greece started to shift from the spiritual world to a natural world. From there they hurled onward in this forward thinking process with hands on medical treatment.
