a both has the property F and does not have the property F". This is not only a truth about reason but is also a truth about the world.
Ontology, what exists, comes before epistemology, what we know and how we know it. The law of non contradiction is an epistemological principle because it is first an ontological principle. Mother Nature molds the body to fit the world. The mind is embodied thus the mind is molded to fit the world. The mind can grasp the world directly because the mind came into existence just as the body came into existence; both the body and the embodied mind together are an extension of the world.
Well, first of all, this is more of a statement, isn't it.

But I agree with Aristotle's ideas.
Ideally Plato's would be true, but realistically I believe in Aristotle.
