Another difference is that modern science sees the world as a machine whereas Aristotle sees it as an organism. He believed that philosophy could find answers to things through observation. While modern science emphasizes laws, Aristotle emphasizes the search for accurate definitions of things in terms of their essential properties. Aristotle’s concepts are function, classification, and hierarchy he uses these concepts to explain everything. Modern science is grounded by a few basic concepts: mass, force, element, evolution and the like. He tries to find the basic principles that reveal the underlying pattern in all of the changing and conflicting aspects of our world. Aristotle sees philosophy as an extension of science, which means that he is attempting to understand the whole-the universe, humanity, and culture.
