Regarding the "Universals and particulars" section, which reads: "Aristotle disagreed with Plato on this point, arguing that all universals are instantiated. Aristotle argued that there are no universals that are unattached to existing things. According to Aristotle, if a universal exists, either as a particular or a relation, then there must have been, must be currently, or must be in the future, something on which the universal can be predicated. Consequently, according to Aristotle, if it is not the case that some universal can be predicated to an object that exists at some period of time, then it does not exist.
In addition, Aristotle disagreed with Plato about the location of universals. As Plato spoke of the world of the forms, a location where all universal forms subsist, Aristotle maintained that universals exist within each thing on which each universal is predicated. So, according to Aristotle, the form of apple exists within each apple, rather than in the world of the forms."
I noticed that "Quantum Cheshire Cat Effect" experimented on 2014 and documented here, will eliminate the basis for Aristotle argument. Although it does not actually confirm Plato, but it is a proof that Aristotle's argument no longer is right. I welcome your comments. Bitziness (talk) 11:23, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Kindly include the following two interpretations of Aristotle and his philosophy in a more simplified and easy to understand manner. The interpretation is by an influential philosopher "Ayn Rand". She had studied and understood Aristotle and his philosophy and had the capability to interpret it objectively on its merits.

The second entry on Aristotle's early Platonism is unreliable, being out of date in Aristotelian studies at least since the works of Ingemar During on the argument (late sixties on the past century).
None of the Aristotle's scholars would believe today to an early platonism in Aristotle. Please allow revision or do revise yourself. Thank you

Is this really that important?
arisotle's proper biography, fit for a truly distinguished encyclopedia of philosophy: "He was born, *he worked*, he died." What's with all the excess effluvia in the lead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RevertMeAndYouShallBeEvisceratedAndYourDescendantsWipedFromTheEarth (talk • contribs) 00:20, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

="The sum of his work's influence often ranks him among the world's top personalities of all time with the greatest influence, along with his teacher Plato, and his pupil Alexander the Great.[9][10]"
Certainly Aristotle is not remembered for being "among the world's top personalities." What is a "top personality" anyway? Is that like a really popular reality show contestant? What exactly do we know about Aristotle's "personality" anyway?
This has to be the single most ridiculous sentence I have ever read. Please, someone with a heart, take pity on the great pain this sentence is causing me and send it somewhere where it shall never be heard from again. Many thanks.Parrhesiast (talk) 23:17, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
The Parrhesiast implores you to delete this sentence! Aristotle is not a "personality" to begin with and we know almost nothing about Aristotle's personality today. Please someone delete this montrosity at once! Our credibility as encylopedists lies in the balance.))Parrhesiast (talk) 00:06, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Much obliged, noble sirs and madams. The Parrhesiast is in your debt. Parrhesiast (talk) 02:17, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
