I've said more than once that Aristotle was the worst physicist who
ever lived, he certainly caused the most damage to the field.
Bruno is using Aristotle to mean "materialist", since Aristotle was
apparently the person who started physics on the materialism route.
So "taking Aristotle for granted" just means "taking materialism for
granted". If you think Aristotle was a bad physicist, then perhaps
you shouldn't do that (assuming you do).
That's why I said "Aristotle theology".
It is fun that Clark insists so much that Aristotle was a bad
physicists, but insist so much (even if implicitly) that we took his
THEOLOGY for granted.
