Because he was a (if not THE) revolutionary thinker during his time. He asked the tough questions that had been pushed under the rug for so long and questioned the standard dogma which even in today's society gets people uncomfortable such as "Why are we doing it this way, there are better ways" for which the usual response is "Because this is the way we have always done it". He also from everything I have read (wasn't there obviously in person so historical accounts must be taken as truth) was quite the smart ass and used to ask innumerable amounts of questions which would become quite irritating as you can imagine but eventually would end up showing people the flaws in their own logic and thinking by doing so. It takes an educated, mature individual to admit and accept they are wrong which is probably in my opinion the biggest single reason people had a grudge against Aristotle during his day.
