Aristotle is most notably associated with the foundations of scientific inquiry and philosophy but is not specifically credited with the development of the scientific method as we understand it today. While he did contribute to the empirical observation and categorization of knowledge and laid groundwork that influenced later scientific thought, the formal scientific method was more fully developed by later thinkers such as Francis Bacon and Galileo.
