I don't know why you keep attributing the belief in matter to Aristotle? First, belief in matter was commonplace. Second, Aristotle was more a dualist who believed in a teleological spirit animating things: Stones "wanted" to sink. Air "wanted" to rise. Third, Aristotle opposed the atomism of Democritus which is more nearly the metaphysical ancestor of modern science.
