PHILOSOPHERS'STONE.PART 23

Just like Empedocles'eccletic model,he borrows from Herarclitus and also says but partly that"all thing flows.That any tangible thing,everything form in nature flows and there are no substances that do not dissolve. Everything that belong to material world that time can dissolve but those after a timeless mold are eternal or immutable.Hence,he borrows partly from Anaximander and partly from Herarclitus to draw an eccletic conclusion.While he points toward heaven,Aristotle points towards the earth.He concluded there must be a force or reality behind the material world and he called the reality'world of ideas.'This contained immutable patterns that back up various phenomena inherent in nature and this influences his propositionthat gives birth to Plato's theory of ideas.He submitted we cannever have a true knowledge of anything in a constant state or flux of change,apart from opinions of those things that belong to the world of senses.We mean tangible things and can only have true knowledge of things by reason.
