Obviously Aristotle did no such thing.<p>However, he laid the foundation for logic, and founded sciences as specialized branches of knowledge with their specific basic principles and methods. People who attack him tend to dwell on concrete-bound mistakes while ignoring the methods he advocated; remember, errare humanum est. The re-discovery of his thoughts, and the return to reason, are the roots of the Renaissance. The remnants of his writings, more than anything else, fathered our world, via the Age of Enlightenment.<p>As for the future, imagine a Second Renaissance, followed by a Second Enlightenment!
