Dr. William Marra explores the metaphysics in Plato and Aristotle. Christian theology in ancient and early medieval times was built more along Platonic lines. From the High Middle Ages onwards, Aristotle’s influence became more pronounced. What are the metaphysical concepts of these two greatest of ancient philosophers? What differences would emerge from Christian reliance of one as opposed to the other? Dr. William Marra explores these questions.
