Aristotle. Ancient Greek philosopher. 384 BCE to 322 BCE.

Key Ideas

  • Evidence.
  • Experimentation.

Notes

  • One of his key ideas was that seeking knowledge often required evidence from experiments, not just reason and deduction as Plato had proposed.[1] Because of this, Aristotle is often considered the father of the scientific method.
