Aristotle relied on pure deductive/inductive reasoning in order to arrive at the laws of nature. He performed no experiments to test his laws, and thus his Physics was flawed. There are three reasons for this: (1). use of pure logic and reasoning was considered the pinnacle of human achievement and was absolutely flawless; one could arrive at the fundamental truths of the universe just by thinking about it in other words. (2). Aristotle being of the noble class frowned on engaging in any sort of experiments to test laws, since this would involve doing “dirty work.” (3). Performing an experiment was viewed as a “taint” on the phenomenon being studied and therefore was not as reliable as pure reasoning and logic.
