About this book

De Partibus Animalium I and De Generatione Animalium I (With Passages from II.1-3 by Aristotle. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780198751281.

In De Partibus Animalium I Aristotle sets out his philosophy of biology, discussing cause, necessity, soul, genus, and species, definition by logical division, and general methodology. In De Generatione Animalium I he applies his hylomorphic philosophy to the problem of animal reproduction. The translation is close, and includes passages from De Generatione Animalium II which complete Aristotles theory of reproduction. The notes interpret Aristotles arguments and discuss his views on major issues such as natural teleology.
