Le pire scientifique de l'histoire ? Ft. DirtyBiology

Today we're talking about Aristotle and the history of science. Has he always been wrong? Some references for further information: Physicist Carlo Rovelli's article on Aristotle's physics. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.4057.pdf Abstract: "I show that Aristotelian physics is a correct and non-intuitive approximation of Newtonian physics in the suitable domain (motion in fluids), in the same technical sense in which Newton's theory is an approximation of Einstein's theory. Aristotelian physics lasted long not because it became dogma, but because it is a very well empirically grounded theory. The observation suggests some general considerations on inter-theoretical relations." ------ An article on biologist Armand Marie Leroy's book "The Lagoon: And Aristotle Invented Science." https://www.scienceshumaines.com/la-l... You can also watch the BBC documentary "Aristotle's Lagoon," which was the basis for the book:    • BBC - Aristotle's Lagoon 1/4   ----- An article by philosopher Pierre Pellegrin on finalism in Aristotle's biology: https://www.pourlascience.fr/sd/histo... ----- A Twitter thread where I revisit the idea of ​​contrasting Aristotle and Democritus, who "hit the nail on the head" about the Milky Way (as Bruce presents it in a recent video): https://twitter.com/MonsieurPhi/statu... ---- Finally, you can find the entire work of Aristotle and many other ancient and medieval authors (in old, often not very good translations) on this site, which is very useful for quickly finding a passage: http://remacle.org/bloodwolf/philosop...
