Good question

Ancient Greek certainly didn't like Aristotle, he only escaped death penalty by flying to his native city.

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics for ages was condemned by the catholic church as barbarian. After translation in Latin and use by not-native Latin speakers it was Thomas Aquinas who realized that Aristotle's writings fitted his idea of god.

Conclusion, Aristotle encouraged use of logic and deserves credit for it.

No reason at all to like the person Aristotle nor his views

What did Aristotle think about dualism?

Aristotle did not think in terms like dualism. But Aristotle grew up in a Hellenist society that was built around slavery. Aristotle tried to make sense of this reality. Aristotle invented a god-factor 'anima' and supposed that slaves (barbarians) had little god-factor and were born to serve Master with much god-factor. For Aristotle slaves were similar to present day cows, that are born to produce milk for farmers. Not worth much attention.
