Description
Aristotle's Historia Animalium: A Comparative Survey of Animals In this comprehensive work, Aristotle examines the differences and similarities among various animal species, from shellfish to mammals, including humans. The book is divided into ten books, each focusing on a different aspect of animal biology, such as body parts, sense faculties, reproduction, and behavior. Through his inductive approach, Aristotle identifies patterns and characteristics that reveal the underlying causes of these differences. This edition, translated by D.M. Balme and prepared for publication by Allan Gotthelf, presents a valuable insight into the natural world and the principles of biology that underpin it. The Loeb Classical Library edition is published in three volumes, with a full index to all ten books included in Volume Three.
