Aristotle used the concept, from the Greek word for \"end\" or \"purpose,\" as the core explanatory concept for the world we live in. We understand what an animal is by what it \u003ci\u003edoes\u003c\/i\u003e. This is the \u003ci\u003enature\u003c\/i\u003e of an animal, and helps us understand our obligations to animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard E.
