Aristotle's biological works - constituting over 25 per cent of his
surviving corpus and for centuries largely unstudied by
philosophically oriented scholars - have been the subject of an
increasing amount of attention during the late 20th century. This
collection brings together some of the best work that has been done
in this area, with the aim of exhibiting the contribution that
close study of these treatises can make to the understanding of
Aristotle's philosophy. The book is divided into four parts, each
with an introduction which places its essays in relation to each
other and to the wider issues of the book as a whole. The first
part is an overview of the relationship of Aristotle's biology to
his philosophy; the other three each concentrate on a set of issues
central to Aristotelian study - definition and demonstration;
teleology and necessity in nature; and metaph themes such as the
unity of matter and form and the nature of substance.
