• diffhist Aristotle 19:09 −229 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Transmission: ce)
• diffhist Aristotle 18:21 +68 Psychastes talk contribs (modify the first part of the metaphysics section; the first sentence is an exact copy of the source material(!) with the clauses rearranged, and the second sentence (though previously not technically cited by anything) includes some probably unneeded inferences not made in the cited source.)
• diffhist Aristotle 16:30 −476 Psychastes talk contribs (→Hellenistic science: Mayr is not a historian and his information is entirely inaccurate, and completely ignores the developments of both Herophilus (mentioned in the prior sentence!) and Galen and the work in the Islamic Golden age)
• diffhist Aristotle 15:50 −22 Psychastes talk contribs (rephrasing "formal logic" which is potentially misleading; while aristotle's study of logic was rigorous/systematic it wasn't a formal system in i.e. hilbert's sense)
• diffhist Aristotle 15:46 −1 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (rv, I don't agree; we can't really cover "Legacy" here as it would include all of Aristotelianism for 1500 years, and that's a definitely separate topic, a bad direction to go in) Tag: Undo
• diffhist Aristotle 15:39 +1 Psychastes talk contribs (legacy is probably a better section header than transmission, and works should probably be above legacy. also depictions in art can be a part of legacy) Tag: Reverted
• diffhist Aristotle 15:17 −110 Psychastes talk contribs (the cited source on epistemology has nothing to say about "immanent realism" (which i think is probably terminology we should try to move away from in general), replacing with a basic description of aristotle's epistemology from that article. also move to logic section)

• diffhist Aristotle 08:20 +161 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Hellenistic science: no idea why this reliable source should have been removed, what has been going on)

• diffhist Aristotle 07:22 +44 MisterCake talk contribs (→Ethics: Only mention of virtue ethics is in the lede, despite it being Aristotle's major contribution to ethics, that it is something like a list of character traits rather than a list of consequences or duties.) Tag: Visual edit
• diffhist Aristotle 07:20 0 MisterCake talk contribs (→Classification of living things: Scake isn't a word, is it? I assume it meant scale. PS Scot Berman in his book on Platonism and Objects of Science distinguishes between a classical and contemporary Aristotelian on universals. Article would benefit from such a consideration.)

• diffhist Aristotle 04:51 −456 Chiswick Chap talk contribs (→Empirical research: a little judicious trimming per talk page)
• diffhist Aristotle 03:20 −488 Psychastes talk contribs (→Optics: in fact, i'm going to remove this entirely pending a reliable source, this just seems wildly anachronistic for the 4th century BC)
• diffhist Aristotle 03:14 −2,303 Psychastes talk contribs (→Loss and preservation: this is a fun little folktale, but the very source quoted, in a rare and refreshing moment of skepticism by the standards of 19th century classical scholarship, goes on a page later to point how absurd and untrue it is!)
• diffhist Aristotle 03:08 +7 Psychastes talk contribs (→Optics: "Lahanas" seems to be a self-published website, tagging bsn. the authorship of the Problems is also disputed, it probably represents an accretion of material over centuries so ascribing this to aristotle seems very dubious)
• diffhist Aristotle 02:54 +5 Psychastes talk contribs (→Soul: close ref tag)
• diffhist Aristotle 02:45 0 Psychastes talk contribs (→Transmission: maimonides predates aquinas and in general it would probably be helpful to discuss medieval jewish philosophy first. a few sentences of Jewish Averroism could smooth the transition between islam and aquinas as well)
• diffhist Aristotle 02:42 −64 Psychastes talk contribs (→Transmission: aristotle wasn't the founder of formal logic, which is a 20th century development, and the cited source (guthrie) doesn't claim he was)
• diffhist Aristotle 02:35 −274 Psychastes talk contribs (→Hellenistic science: the book cited doesn't have a page 252, and the claim that the lyceum produced no original work is wildly untrue. also theophrastus was still alive when the ptolemaic kingdom was founded)
• diffhist Aristotle 02:31 −168 Psychastes talk contribs (→Hellenistic science: I think Ernst Mayr is probably not a great authority on the history of science since he seems entirely... unaware of any science in the medieval islamic world)
• diffhist Aristotle 02:28 +26 Psychastes talk contribs (→Byzantine scholars: this section is weirdly selective in only discussing the *christian* commentators on aristotle while skipping over the vast majority of earlier Neoplatonist Commentators on Aristotle, including Philoponus' teacher Ammonius Hermiae but we can at least but things in chronological order.)
• diffhist Aristotle 02:25 +18 Psychastes talk contribs (→Later Greek philosophy: basically we've got about 800 years of (well-documented) history between Theophrastus and John Philoponus that doesn't get mentioned in this article at all)
• diffhist Aristotle 02:22 −707 Psychastes talk contribs (→Later Greek philosophy: Please don't cite an anecdote from Plutarch as fact; Plutarch's lives should be seen more like historical novels than reports of fact)
