11. Knowledge Aims / A. Knowledge / 4. Belief / c. Aim of beliefs

4391	Opinion is praised for being in accordance with truth [Aristotle]
	Full Idea: Opinion is praised for being in accordance with truth.
	From: Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics [c.334 BCE], 1112a07)
	A reaction: This presumably makes Aristotle a realist, and it seems to me that the concepts of 'opinion' or 'belief' are incomprehensible without the concept of truth.
