About this audiobook
On Generation and Corruption is a scientific work written by Aristotle in which he explores the concepts of change, decay, and permanence in the natural world. The book is divided into two main sections: the first deals with the nature of change and motion, while the second focuses on the concept of generation and corruption. Aristotle argues that everything in the natural world is subject to change, and that this change can be either accidental or substantial. Accidental change refers to changes in the properties or characteristics of an object, while substantial change refers to a change in the object's very essence or being. He also argues that change can only occur through motion, which is the transfer of potentiality to actuality. Read in English, unabridged.
Aristotle
Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist whose works have profoundly influenced philosophical discourse and scientific investigation from the later Greek period through to modern times. A student of Plato, Aristotle’s writings cover such disparate topics as physics, zoology, logic, aesthetics, and politics, and as one of the earliest proponents of empiricism, Aristotle advanced the belief that people’s knowledge is based on their perceptions. In addition to his own research and writings, Aristotle served as tutor to Alexander the Great, and established a library at the Lyceum. Although it is believed that only a small fraction of his original writings have survived, works such as The Art of Rhetoric, Nicomachean Ethics, Poetics, and Metaphysics have preserved Aristotle’s legacy and influence through the ages.
