This article the author introduces Aristotle as a classical Greek philosopher. The author goes into detail about Aristotle being one of Plato’s students and how Aristotle may have fixed some of the errors that Plato may have done. The article also states that Aristotle’s writing and theories could be divided into five categories and that his logical work teaches about deductive and inductive argument. This article is a reliable source because it is from a non-profit organization and it can be exceptionally reliable. I think that this source can compare to others because since the site is a non-profit organization there can be other political views. I believe that this source will help with my course project because it has a list of his great philosophies. Which I believe will help when putting my assignment together, I can not only focus on of his philosophies but also incorporate many of his other ones.
