Wonder and Experimental Reason

According to Aristotle, Philosophy begins with Wonder, e. g. at celestial phenomena, which eventually blossoms into Contemplation.  But, he does not consider that Wonder first arises at a very early age, when a child asks, 'What will happen if I do this?'  On that basis, Wonder blossoms into Experimental Reason, and it is the latter that is the defining characteristic of Philosophy.  Still, regardless of which concept of Wonder is prior, the alternative illustrates what is inadequate in Aristotle's--it is indeterminate as to what is being questioned about its object, as the absence of any corresponding clear articulation signifies.  In other words, he does not specify what question he is posing when he 'wonders', e. g. "What is the Moon?", "What causes the Moon to exist?", etc., nor is it likely that he is expressing the contemporary wondering about whether or not celestial bodies are inhabitable, can be travelled to, etc.  This uncertainty only reinforces the criticism that his concept of Wonder is derived from and contingently abstracted from one that is more fundamental.  In other words, Aristotle does not consider that underlying his contemplative wonder is a what if? impulse of Experimental Reason.  Absent such an impulse, closed Aristotelian Cosmology might still be accepted as an Eternal Truth.
