Aristotle and the Animals

The Logos of Life Itself

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

With a novel approach to Aristotle's zoology, this study looks at animals as creatures of nature (physis) and reveals a scientific discourse that, in response to his predecessors, exiles logos as reason and pursues the logos intrinsic to animals' bodies empowering them to sense the world and live.

Rezensionen

'The breadth of textual evidence that Z. summons to make her case is dazzling, as is her reconstruction of the conceptual debate to which Aristotle was responding in his effort to locate the study of animal life within a larger philosophical project. Z.'s book is a significant contribution to ongoing conversations about the scale of Aristotle's teleology presented in work by J. Gelber and D. Henry, about whether z is a core-dependent homonym, as opened by C. Shields and complicated fruitfully in recent work by C. Coates, and about the kind and extent of Aristotle's empiricism as explored by M. Gasser-Wingate. Z.'s volume should be considered necessary reading for scholars tracking and participating in these conversations.'
