From what Feser wrote, Aristotle changed and refined the theory into his own, and this is the theory Feser argues for. Plato was for background.
"The consolations of philosophy and the beauties of science; these things are infinitely more awe-inspiring and regenerating and majestic than any invocation of the burning bush or doctrine." - Christopher Hitchens
