How does the Theory of Ideas of Plato differ from the Theory of Hylemorphism of Aristotle? In what
way did these two theories try to reconcile the opposing philosophies of Heraclitus and
Parmenides?

Answer:

The Theory of Ideas of Plato is different from the Theory of Hylomorphism of Aristotle in that the former
posits that there is a realm of abstract objects that exist outside of the physical world, while the latter
posits that all things are made up of a combination of matter and form. These two theories tried to
reconcile the opposing philosophies of Heraclitus and Parmenides by positing that there is a realm of
abstract objects (the Theory of Ideas) or that all things are made up of a combination of matter and form
(the Theory of Hylomorphism).
