The opening

CHAPTER III First Period, Third Division: Plato and Aristotle.

First Period, Third Division: Plato and Aristotle.

The development of philosophic science as science, and, further, the progress from the Socratic point of view to the scientific, begins with Plato and is completed by Aristotle. They of all others deserve to be called teachers of the human race.
