Socrates and Aristotle strove to better understand the world around them using epistemological approaches that they had derived on their own. Aristotle disagreed with many of the beliefs of his predecessors, leading him to create his own methods of understanding. Socrates walked barefoot through the streets of Athens and questioned anyone willing to listen and seek the truth using his Socratic method. If the person was fully engaged in his conversation, Socrates would try to guide them both on the path to understanding by constantly asking questions that could lead them to the answer they need. Increasingly, Socrates encouraged spectators to prove him wrong or to explain their thinking using definitions. On the other hand, Aristotle created his own logical method which, much like Socrates' method, was supposed to lead the user towards a correct answer by default. Not only that, but Aristotle was not satisfied simply by logic, he believed that to completely understand a subject one had to understand the four causes that would explain the why aspect of a question. Both philosophers believed that the truth would eventually reveal itself if they continued to examine it, but each of these philosophers approached the study of knowledge differently. Not only were there differences in the approaches to knowledge of these two philosophers, but also in the metaphysical beliefs of the two philosophers. two philosophers were poles apart. Socrates believed that a human's psyche came from a world of forms which is another realm where the form of all things exists.4 In the Phaedo, Socrates best describes his belief in the psyche when he says "and that have you thought about this part of the psyche? argument in which we said that knowledge was only memory, and deduced...... in the middle of the article ......g questions and the belief that knowledge is already constructed in the person , Aristotle created his own form of logic which is supposed to derive the correct answer. Not only did Aristotle derive his own form of logic, but he also created four causes that were also meant to answer various questions about why. These four causes were necessary to completely understand the thing studied. The epistemological differences of these two philosophers also showed serious differences in their metaphysical ideas. Aristotle is the archetype of naturalistic belief about life, while Socrates believed in a world of forms which Aristotle refuted. The beliefs of these two philosophers are mostly not valid today, but they are constantly reconciled due to their ingenuity during their time period and both philosophers are still considered the original fathers of philosophy..
