562	Axioms are the underlying principles of everything, and who but the philosopher can assess their truth? [Aristotle]
	Full Idea: Axioms are more general, and the principles of all things. If this does not belong to the philosopher, who else will have the job of considering truth and falsity in their case?
	From: Aristotle (Metaphysics [c.324 BCE], 0997a09)

573	The axioms of mathematics are part of philosophy [Aristotle]
	Full Idea: A single science, that of the philosopher, also covers the axioms of mathematics.
	From: Aristotle (Metaphysics [c.324 BCE], 1005a15)
