Aristotle and Plato both believed that there were forces at work in nature that were beyond sight, that did not belong to the physical world and which were eternally present. What we call philosophy is actually a second philosophy, because of these invisible forces. Plato, one of the world's greatest philosophers, had a revolutionary idea. He had the idea of ​​Forms. These shapes were perfect and unchanging. Everything else in existence took various qualities from the Forms and used them to create their own forms and purposes. There was, however, one Form which dominated all the others. The form of good. This is what Aristotle, Plato's related student, linked his idea of ​​God to. Through reason, facts, and many similarities, it is proven in great detail that these two ideas are one and the same. In addition to Plato and Aristotle, Istvan Bodnar asserts: If there were no separate forms --- entities such as the motionless mover at the top of the cosmos --- which are without matter and do not belong to the physical world, physics being what Aristotle calls the first philosophy. Since there are such distinct entities, physics depends on them and is only a second philosophy. To begin with, Plato's Form of the Good was essentially that which gives life. It was often linked to the sun in the sense that they gave life and allowed all life to grow. So if the Sun is the giver of light, being the creator, then Aristotle's God bears a striking resemblance to this idea. Aristotle realized that for science and nature to have meaning, there must be a beginning. Science states that energy cannot be created or destroyed and that nature is cyclical in the way it destroys and creates life. Every river has a beginning, but even so, the water must come from the middle of the paper... finally behold the light. In conclusion, Plato's idea was given a new purpose with Aristotle's God. They have similarities ranging from their eternal existence to the way they function and cause movement in the world. The Form of Good does this through its light and heat, while the prime mover does this by causing movement from which all other matter, organic or not, can exist and change over time. The Prime Mover and the Form of Good are solely responsible for movement in our world. The Prime Mover and the Form of Good are eternal and unchangeable by any other force. They must therefore be, by logic, the same entity. Works Cited Bodnar, Istvan, “Aristotle's Natural Philosophy,” The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Spring 2012 edition), Edward N.
