Aristotle:

student of plato

philosopher, logician, scientist



The scientific method according to Aristotle:

the knowledge of causes

(causes necessitate the effects)→ bring about their effects in such a way that there
is no other way that effects could have happened

knowledge cannot be what we gain from pure observation or perception. →
perception only gives knowledge of CONTINGENT fact (facts that could have been
otherwise)

scientific knowledge cannot be obtained through the sense

must be universally true

Universal truth can only be obtained from a thing’s nature or essence


Neccesary: what could not have been otherwise.

Possible: what could have been otherwise


Inductive - deductive method
