Was Aristotle's work scientific

Answer 1

Aristotle's work was purely theoretical. Whether you define it as scientific or not depends on your definition of scientific. He did not use experiments to prove his work, and if he did he did not conduct them in a scientific way (using the scientific method).

Answer 2

Yes, Aristotle's work is considered scientific in the sense that it involved systematic observation, classification, and analysis of natural phenomena. However, his approach to science was based more on philosophical principles and logic rather than experimentation and empirical evidence, which differs from modern scientific methods.
