So, who was the greater thinker? I'm going with Aristotle, his philosophical arguements make a lot more sense than plato's which are based on unprovable assumptions.

Out of the two, I say Aristotle. I dislike Plato.

Plato's ideology never really attracted me, but I find some appeal in the logicality of a first cause and prime mover. This logicalityiswhy Aquinas used Aristotle, not Plato, to defend Christianity.
