How significant is Aristotle? Well, I wouldn’t want to exaggerate, so let me put it this way: Abandoning Aristotelianism, as the founders of modern philosophy did, was the single greatest mistake ever made in the entire history of Western thought ... it was the pulling of that first Aristotelian thread that has led to the unraveling of the once- seamless garment of Western thought – an unraveling that undoes not only the religious and moral worldview to which secularists would bid good riddance, but also any rational and moral standards by reference to which they could justify their own position. - Edward Feser, The Last Superstition
