Further, Aristotle held doxa as the first step in finding knowledge, as doxa had found applications in the physical world and those who held it had a great number of tests done to prove it and thus reason to believe it.
Veelgi enam, Aristoteles pidas doxa’t esimeseks sammuks teadmiste leidmisel, kuna doxa oli rakendusi leidnud füüsilises maailmas ja neil, kes seda valdasid, olid selle tõestamiseks teinud palju katseid, ning seetõttu oli põhjust seda uskuda.
