Opponents to Aristotle’s views on knowledge and learning

In history, only a handful of philosophers have endorsed the views on knowledge and learning developed by Aristotle (384-322 BC). John Vespasian explains that the opposition to Aristotle’s empiricism began before his birth, that is, with his predecessors, in particular Socrates and Plato. Socrates said that true wisdom starts with recognising one’s ignorance. Aristotle considered that wisdom should be measured only by objective standards. Truth must be universal or not at all. It is irrelevant if you fulfil Socrates’ requirement of recognising your own ignorance because the truth is not subjective. Plato theorised that human beings acquire knowledge in a mystical way by accessing the “world of forms.” Learning is in fact remembering, said Plato. He regarded pure abstractions as preexisting human birth. Here is the link to the original article: https://johnvespasian.com/opponents-to-aristotles-views-on-knowledge-and-learning/
