8011	Aristotle is a buffoon who has misled the Church [Luther, by MacIntyre]
	Full Idea: Aristotle is a buffoon who has misled the Church.
	From: report of Martin Luther (talk [1525]) by Alasdair MacIntyre - A Short History of Ethics Ch.10
	A reaction: Before he became famous, Luther was a university lecturer on Aristotle. This remark was a hundred years before philosophers began serious criticism of Aristotle. Presumably Protestants just stopped reading him.
