Aristotle and Buddha together — 1-Thing?

Aristotle (384–322 BCE) — this is 300 years before Christ and during Buddha’s time.

Buddha: Indian Short Chronology: c. 448 — c. 368 BCE

Hence Buddha and Aristotle lived about the same time. But I gather Greeks and Indians had little contact in the past, except for the trading merchants. So Aristotle would not have known of Buddha’s discoveries of life, brain and mind processes and meditation.

While Aristotle’s philosophical inquiries did include discussions on contemplation, introspection, and self-reflection, these concepts were typically approached from a rational and intellectual perspective rather than through specific meditative practices.

and with Buddha:

Meditation, as practised in Eastern traditions like Buddhism and Hinduism, involves various techniques for cultivating mindfulness, concentration, and insight. These practices aim to achieve mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual insight.

Even though both Aristotle and Buddha are all about self-reflection — both approached them differently.

Aristotle approached from a rational and intellectual perspective rather than Buddha through specific meditative practices.

So you can see Aristotle and Buddha can be considered 2 people with one soul — enquired about the same things but differently.

Almost as if Aristotle was about the left brain and Buddha was about the right brain.

Today we look at spirituality in terms of both Aristotle and Buddha together.

Well, it seems that you can drop anything into the brain to see what it means by how it affects the thought processes and its mind spaces — but you can explore them logically in terms of the left brain or via mindfulness/self-awareness of the right brain.

Aristotle-Buddha.

Left brain — right brain.

What you want?

I hope you appreciate the insight.

And here is me putting them together for you. It only comes as I chase the facts and only see the insight at the end of the inquiry. Insight usually arrives as pop-ups in the brain and mind.

Conscious awareness can see the action of Truth but thought cannot directly see what consciousness awareness sees — Aristotle and Buddha.

Aristotle and Buddha together — 1-Thing.
