Aristotle On The Parts Of Animals (1882) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781120857514)

Aristotle On The Parts Of Animals is a philosophical treatise by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, originally written in the 4th century BCE. This book is a comprehensive study of the anatomy of animals, including humans, and explores the various parts that make up their bodies. Aristotle delves into the functions and characteristics of each part, including organs, limbs, and senses, and provides detailed descriptions of the differences between various species. The book is divided into ten chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of animal anatomy. Aristotle begins by discussing the general principles of biology and anatomy, including the concept of form and matter. He then moves on to examine the various parts of animals, including bones, muscles, and organs such as the heart and liver. Throughout the book, Aristotle draws on his extensive observations of the natural world, as well as the work of other philosophers and scientists of his time. He also discusses the relationship between the physical and mental aspects of animals, and the role that the senses play in their behavior and perception of the world. Aristotle On The Parts Of Animals is considered a foundational work in the field of biology, and its insights into animal anatomy and physiology have influenced scientific thinking for centuries. This 1882 edition includes a preface by the translator, William Ogle, as well as extensive footnotes and annotations to help modern readers understand the text in its historical context.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
