3. Which philosophy are you more in favor of? Why?

Though many more of Plato's works survived the centuries, Aristotle's contributions have arguably been more
influential, particularly when it comes to science and logical reasoning. While both philosophers' works are
considered less theoretically valuable in modern times, they continue to have great historical value. In his
natural philosophy, Aristotle combines logic with observation to make general, causal claims. For example, in his
biology, Aristotle uses the concept of species to make empirical claims about the functions and behavior of
individual animals.
