Available for the first time in paperback, this volume
contains text with translation ofDe Motu Animalium,
Aristotle's attempt to lay the groundwork for a
general theory of the explanation of animal activity,
along with commentary and interpretive essays on the
work.
"Martha C. Nussbaum, Recipient of the 2012 Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences" In virtue of its text alone, this book represents a major advance; and the essays, which range far beyond the text . . ., are considerable works of philosophical interpretation in their own right. Anyone interested in Aristotle will want to own this book: it will be conned, discussed, and valued, for years to come.
