 However, I think that one should also attend to the purpose (skopos) as well as at the words and recognise that the difference (diaphora) between the two philosophers on these questions is not about things (pragmata) but about words: Plato rejects the ordinary use of words (sunêtheia) in the name of precision, but Aristotle makes use of the ordinary use of words on the grounds that the truth is not at all harmed by this. (Simplicius, In Cael. 69.11–15, translated by I. Mueller)
