Hello, this is a joke from Xu Zhiyuan at the Tucao Conference. . "I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more." is a famous saying by Aristotle, which means: on the road to pursuing the truth, do not dare to question the teacher's opinions because of your respect and love for the teacher, but rather Pursue the truth with an objective, rational and rigorous attitude.

Aristotle began studying with Plato at the age of 17, which lasted for 20 years. For Aristotle, Plato was both his highly respected mentor and his best friend, as the saying goes: "a good teacher and helpful friend." He once wrote a poem to praise Plato: "Among all people, he is also the only one and the first. ... Such a person is nowhere to be found now!"

However, in exploring the truth, Along the way, he was not afraid of authority or tradition. He made no secret of his serious differences with his teacher in the content and methods of philosophical thought, and criticized his mentor's mistakes without mercy. This naturally led to accusations from some people that Aristotle was an ungrateful person who betrayed his teacher. In response to this, Aristotle responded with the famous sentence: "I love my teacher, and I love truth even more!"

The core of Aristotle's teacher Plato's thought is idealism. Aristotle The core of Stotle's thought is materialism.

Aristotle was a famous philosopher, scientist, and educator in ancient Greece, and Plato was a great philosopher and thinker in ancient Greece. Plato, his teacher Socrates, and his student Aristotle are known as the Three Sages of Greece.

Although Aristotle respected his teacher, in terms of knowledge, he was not a person who only worshiped authority and was submissive without his own ideas. Because he did not agree with Plato's mathematical tendency in philosophy, he finally chose to leave his teacher and embark on the path of searching for truth alone, eventually achieving his academic status in many fields such as philosophy.
