Editing First Principles

'''First Principles''', often known as '''fundamental principles''' (sometimes less exact sense '''principles''') is used to designate the fundamental laws, causes, axioms or universal truth in a given sphere of explanation. It is the final derivation, established fact which cannot be drawn or deduced any further. [[Induction]] and [[Deduction]] are commonly used in philosophy to arrive at '''first principles''', as it can be seen with Plato's question "Are we on the way from or to the '''first principles'''?"<ref>Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" (Book 1, Chapter 4)</ref>

Plato's discussions in his works sought for a ''critical evaluation'' of '''first principles'''. Aristotle on the other hand lays emphasis on ''arriving'' at '''first principles'''.
