Plato (427-349 SM) was a realist, he believed that there was reality and not tied to the
human mind. A system is said to be correct if a statement explain the real
state of reality which is free of
the mind. Plato's famous statement is "Something
is me as it happened to me, and something that was you as it happened to you.
Plato believed that the objects in the universe is
divided into two classes, namely in the form of material
and non-material. Objects such as the sun, tree, animal-shaped material, while the good, the bad, the soul
of a human being including category immaterial. An image rectangle including categories of material, but the rectangle itself belongs to the category
of non-material.
Aristoteles (384-322 SM), a pupil of Plato for twenty years, but he did not agree
with Plato about the nature of mathematics. To him the word "two" is not a noun to an abstract object that is free
from physical
object, but a description of the
formulation of a physical object, such
as two meters in length (Anglin, 1994).
Aristoteles put infinity in place so solid, so that almost
anyone could not consider the slim until the IX century. The approach used is pragmatics,
stating that infinite there, because time appears without beginning and without end,
as well as numbers. If there is no greatest number called "maximal" (max), then what about the max +1 or +2? but otherwise infinite nothing in the
real world, if any, for
example, the human body is also infinite, it is not limited to a body.
