Which Philosopher is best known for his work with Epistemology, Plato or Aristotle?

Question

I understand others have worked with Epistemology, but out of the two choices whose work with it was most profound.

Answer 1

Of the two, Plato would definitely be the one to go with. There are those would would argue that Plato's definition of knowledge outlined in 'Theaetetus' (link 1) persisted for around two millennia. Likewise, a simple search of a typical overview of the subject of epistemology (link 2) easily turns up Plato's name, but not Aristotle's.

Answer 2

I thought it was Ayn Rand. Plato and Aristotle has real valid points of epistemology and I would espouse Plato's viewpoint more.... they all have their own merits essentially. But if you want best known and not best, then it is Aristotle.

Answer 3

Plato. He argued that knowledge is justified, true, belief. This definition of knowledge has been debated ever since. Look at "Theaetetus" and "Meno."
