When we discussed in class how Aristotle left Plato's school in order to form his own, it immediately reminded me current state of American politics. Because of the dissatisfaction many politicians and voters feel with the sate of the current two party system it has caused many to question if we should continue with the current standard political philosophies. As Aristotle saw it necessary with the loss of the second sailing and a train of thought that he saw as unproductive to start looking at things from a new perspective, political thinking is starting to go through a series of subtle changes. Even though unlike Aristotle’s school of thought, the one we are experiencing in this country doesn’t really seem like its for the better. But I think its an interesting parallel considering how politically conscious Plato's Academy was before his death.
