Question

What are the similarities and differences between how Aristotle understands the scientific method, and how we do in the modern western world?

Answer 1

Ans)Aristotle introduced what may be called a scientific method.

- His demonstration method is found in Posterior Analytics. He provided another of the ingredients of scientific tradition: empiricism. For Aristotle, universal truths can be known from particular things via induction.

- As the father of the field of logic, he was the first to develop a formalized system for reasoning.

- In modern, the scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. When direct experimentation is not possible, scientists modify the scientific method. In fact, there are probably as many versions of the scientific method as there are scientists!
- Scientific method helps many scientists in solving problems and in making their experiments, but not only scientific problems can be solve by it's steps. It has also a potential to help us to be successful in our everyday life and solve many personal problems of a ordinary people.
