Why is Aristotle still important? Aristotle died in 322 BCE, but he made lasting contributions to science, philosophy, and thought. He was remarkable for his time. Even though his scientific theories were generally inaccurate, they played a role in developing the sciences both in his world and Europe after they were reintroduced to Europeans by Islamic scholars in the Middle Ages. He is considered the founder of philosophy and, to some, the first scientist. His work has continued to influence modern thought and ideas.
