Aristotle might be taken aback by the fact that everyone knows he was wrong about everything, but some people still study him.

he gets credit for being less wrong than Plato though.

Is he? Plato’s Republic suggested odd battle tactics, and telling lies to discourage the aristocracy from keeping money. But he also started a kind of proto-Feminism.

What little I remember of Aristotle was madness from start to finish, but then I didn’t read much of him.

Plato thought that all apples got their essence from an eternal platonic magic Apple. I’d say he was pretty wrong on that.
