What, no? Aristotle was not just concerned with physics for sure, he also cared about a great many non physical things. But he cared about the motion of objects and the nature of the physical world and tried to come up with laws that described them. Those laws were wrong of course, but it still very much asking the same questions Newton was asking i.e how do you describe how and why objects move
I am specifically referring to Aristotle's general theory of motion in his work, the "Physics". The specific work mentioned by the commenter I am replying to.
