Studying and Analyzing the View of Aristotle on Certain Knowledge in First Philosophy

Abstract:
In a Socratic legacy of belonging knowledge to the universals, Aristotle along with Plato has criticized the viewpoint of the sophists and skeptics. According to Aristotle’s ideas, not only it is possible to achieve certain knowledge, what is given in first philosophy through philosophical propositions are also have the feature of certainty. Criticizing the Plato’s views and establishing the formal logic and deductive method, Aristotle has a prominent and influential role in the history of philosophy, especially in connection with the rationalist philosophers. Aristotle has linked certain knowledge with recognition of cause. Accordingly, it appears that in accordance with his principles, the whole certain knowledge, at least in a part of the first philosophy, the realm of Insensible immortal substance, has faced with epistemological and logical difficulties.
