Syllogism was a categorical logic (form of logic that involves identifying rules of which categories of things can be put together to produce valid deductions.)
Syllogism is a pattern, which helped him discover rules by combining and transforming them.
Example: Whales are mammals Mammals are warm blooded Therefore whales are warm blooded
Aristotle: Syllogism

Thought and sensation are influenced by images impacting the outside of the body.
Thought and perception are created through the change of the body.
Knowledge is based on the visible world

Atomic Theory

Democritus thought atoms are small quantities of matter
His theory states atoms cannot be destroyed, differ in shape, size or temperature.
He thought atoms moved in an infinite void, colliding into each other
Democritus: Atomic Theory

Aristotle did not believe in Democritus’ theory
He thought all materials on earth were not made of atoms
Aristotle thought all materials were made of small amounts of the four elements of matter (earth, fire, water and air)
His theory was later proved wrong, all matter is made up of atoms
