{"product_id":"the-lagoon-how-aristotle-invented-science","title":"The Lagoon: How Aristotle Invented Science","description":"\u003cp\u003eA brilliant study of Aristotle as biologist  The philosophical classics of Aristotle loom large over the history of Western thought  but the subject he most loved was biology. He wrote vast volumes about animals. He described them  classified them  told us where and how they live and how they develop in the womb or in the egg. He founded a science. It can even be said that he founded science itself.  In The Lagoon  acclaimed biologist Armand Marie Leroi recovers Aristotles science. He revisits Aristotles writings and the places where he worked. He goes to the eastern Aegean island of Lesbos to see the creatures that Aristotle saw  where he saw them. He explores Aristotles observations  his deep ideas  his inspired guessesand the things he got wildly wrong. He shows how Aristotles science is deeply intertwined with his philosophical system and reveals that he was not only the first biologist  but also one of the greatest.  The Lagoon is both a travelogue and a study of the origins of science. And it shows how a philosopher who lived almost two millennia ago still has so much to teach us today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986023411765,"sku":"ByrdShop_0670026743","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780670026746.jpg?v=1770882090","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-lagoon-how-aristotle-invented-science","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
