The Thoughts of Aristotle. I have carefully prepared this series for a period of time, because Aristotle is indeed too important. Aristotle is not even one of the most important philosophers in the history of Western philosophy. Aristotle is not only the true founder of Western philosophy, but also an encyclopedic scientist. He has made considerable contributions to many disciplines, and is even the founder of many disciplines. He is known as "Father of Biology" and "Father of Logic". Scientist Hawking once said: The birth of science and civilization probably owes a considerable part of the credit to Aristotle. Among all scientists, Aristotle may have the largest proportion of credit. Aristotle is so important, but many people’s memory of Aristotle may still be in middle school physics textbooks. Galileo stood on the Leaning Tower of Pisa and did an experiment in which two shot balls landed at the same time. It has been proved that Aristotle's view that "two objects of equal volume, the heavier one falls faster" is wrong. From today's perspective, many of Aristotle's theories have been proven wrong. For example, he believed that the earth is the center of the universe; the earth and celestial bodies are composed of different materials. The materials on the earth are composed of water, gas, It is composed of the four elements of fire and earth, and the celestial body is composed of the fifth element "ether"; he also pointed out that white is the purest light, and the other colors of light we see are caused by certain reasons. Changed light is impure. This view was later falsified by Newton. Aristotle even put forward the erroneous view that women are born with two fewer teeth than men.
