Can a conjecture be used to explain the steps of a proof?
No. A conjecture itself has not been proved true (nor false), but is believed, on the evidence so far, to be true. If it is at some stage in the future actually proved to be false any proof based on it would immediately be useless as anything can be proved to be true from a false premise, and this includes false statements. For example consider a father who always tells his child the truth and consider the statement a father gives his son: "If you are not in bed by 8pm then I will not read you a story". If the child in not in bed by 8pm, then the father will not read them a story. ie if the premise of not being in bed by 8pm is true, it is proved that no story is read. However, if the child is in bed by 8pm, the premise of not being in bed by 8pm is false (ie the child is in bed by 8pm) nothing can be inferred about a story being read: the father may read a story, or he may not read a story. The conjecture concerns the time the child is in bed: If the child is in bed by 8pm, and the father does read a story, the father made a true statement. If the child is in bed by 8pm, and the father does not read a story, the father still made a true statement! This may seem illogical (and cruel), but the father has only said what will happen if the child is not in bed by 8pm; he has said nothing about what will happen if the child is in bed by 8pm. It is very logical and is the "implies" (→) logic table: T → T = T T → F = F F → T = T F → F = T If the first statement is true, the result is the truth of the second statement. If the first statement is false, the result is true regardless of the truth of the second statement. So if a conjecture is the first statement, only if it is [proved true] true does it say anything about the truth of the following statement.

Who is often called 'The Father of Philosophy'?
Socrates is often considered the Father of Western Philosophy; however, most group him with his successors, Plato and Aristotle, as the Father's of Western Philosophy, also known as "The Big Three." One can argue that Thales is the true Founder of Western Philosophy due to his influence on Socrates. In regards to modern philosophy, René Descartes holds that title. There is no single person who owns the title of "The Father of Philosophy," considering how much of philosophy developed largely independently in different regions (i.e., Western and Eastern philosophy).

What role do external goods play in Aristotle's philosophy of ethics?
External goods, such as wealth, health, and social status, are important in Aristotle's philosophy of ethics as they can contribute to a person's overall happiness and well-being. However, Aristotle emphasizes that true happiness comes from developing virtuous character traits, such as courage and wisdom, rather than relying solely on external goods. He believes that external goods are secondary to internal virtues in achieving a flourishing and fulfilling life.

What are facts about Aristotle?
Aristotle is a part of "The Big Three" (alongside Socrates and Plato) and considered one of the Founders of Western Philosophy. His contributions to philosophy, science, and metaphysics had permanently impacted the entire Western world and still does today; his teachings are the basis for many religious doctrines and beliefs, especially those of the Roman-Catholic Church pre-Renaissance. The pupil of Plato, Aristotle would go on to mentor Alexander the Great (a military genius who's considered one of the most important figures in Ancient Western History).While a few of his theories and postulates were later proven false, many of his concepts still hold true today. Aristotle was a mathematician and a philosophical scholar; he taught astronomy and political theory, as well. Without him, the Western world would likely be much less developed than currently is.Facts about AristotleHis mentor was Plato, another greek philosopher.Aristotle taught Alexander the Great.Aristotle was born in Stageira, Chalcidice.He established his own school in Athens.
