Summary

This quote reflects the misconception about Aristotle's view on knowledge and the function of the brain. While Aristotle was indeed a renowned philosopher and scientist, he did not believe that the brain's sole purpose was to cool the blood. This notion was put forth by some individuals of his time but was not Aristotle's own view. Thus, the quote suggests that such an understanding is only applicable to a specific group of people who mistakenly attributed this belief to Aristotle.
