Abstract
Aristotle has had a great influence upon the development of philosophy and the sciences. His importance to a great extent consists in the terminology coined by him. He did not have to think out his terminology; he merely used the words available in the living Greek language. He did not use them, however, in their primordial vague meanings, but tidied and restricted them to firm and definite meanings.
