Aristotle was wrong then and he's still wrong now.

    That's usually how history works. An abstract definition of progress is the accumulation of cultural knowledge that informs the next generation of past mistakes and errors. I don't know much about Aristotle but I'd guess he was probably wrong about a lot of things given his historical time period.
