Aristotle's voluminous writings on animals have often been
marginalised in the history of philosophy. Providing the first
full-length comprehensive account of Aristotle's biology, its
background, content and influence, this Companion situates his
study of living nature within his broader philosophy and theology
and differentiates it from other medical and philosophical
theories. An overview of empiricism in Aristotle's Historia
Animalium is followed by an account of the general methodology
recommended in the Parts of Animals. An account of the importance
of Aristotle's teleological perspective and the fundamental
metaphysics of biological entities provides a basis for
understanding living capacities, such as nutrition, reproduction,
perception and self-motion, in his philosophy. The importance of
Aristotle's zoology to both his ethics and political philosophy is
highlighted. The volume explores in detail the changing
interpretations and influences of Aristotle's biological works from
antiquity to modern philosophy of science. It is essential for both
students and scholars.
