About this ebook
Aristotle
Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was a Greek philosopher whose works spanned multiple disciplines including math, science and the arts. He spent his formative years in Athens, where he studied under Plato at his famed academy. Once an established scholar, he wrote more than 200 works detailing his views on physics, biology, logic, ethics and more. Due to his undeniable influence, particularly on Western thought, Aristotle, along with Plato and Socrates, is considered one of the great Greek philosophers.

Reviews for On the Parts of Animals
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5We find here a basic, logical look at the structures of animals. Aristotle refutes Empedocles, that traits are entirely incidental, and Democritus, that shape and color constitute the whole animal. We then read about the classification, that bifurcation will never be sufficient to categorize the differentiations. Instead, fundamental groupings are sought based on feathers, scales, spine, etc. Next we read about homogenous parts: heart, skin, blood, lard, suet, semen, fat, shells, and visceral organs. We also read about natural accounting for differences, such as ears in quadrapeds vs. brids, teeth, and even the differences in bird beaks that Darwin popularized 1800 years later. Of course, there are some unproved assertions, such as that nature takes from the teeth of horned animals to make the horns -- a bit immature, but not for the BC thinker.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Basic Aristotelian text that is very dated.
