1. Philosophy / C. History of Philosophy / 2. Ancient Philosophy / c. Classical philosophy

23889	Among the Greeks Aristotle is the only philosopher in the modern style [Weil]
	Full Idea: In Greece, Aristotle is perhaps the only philosopher in the modern sense, and he is entirely outside the Greek tradition.
	From: Simone Weil (God in Plato [1942], p.45)
	A reaction: She sees Plato as embodying the true tradition. Everything Aristotle writes is 'peri phusis' (about nature), and that is a standard topic of philosophy right from the start. She emphasises Plato long historical roots. Pythagoras is key.
