For Plato, the defining human characteristic is reason or rationality, which distinguishes humans from other animals and allows them to pursue knowledge and wisdom. Aristotle, on the other hand, believed that the defining human characteristic is the capacity for moral virtue, as humans have the ability to act in accordance with reason and cultivate virtuous habits.
