Aristotle argued that in theory one could acquire knowledge of the
natural world. But he did not stop there; he put his theories into
practice. This volume of new essays shows how Aristotle's natural
science and philosophical theories shed light on one another. The
contributors engage with both biological and non-biological
scientific works and with a wide variety of theoretical works,
including Physics, Generation and Corruption, On the Soul, and
Posterior Analytics. The essays focus on a number of themes,
including the sort of explanation provided by matter; the
relationship between matter, teleology, and necessity; cosmic
teleology; how an organism's soul and faculties relate to its end;
how to define things such as sleep, void, and soul; and the proper
way to make scientific judgments. The resulting volume offers a
rich and integrated view of Aristotle's science and shows how it
fits with his larger philosophical theories.
