Naturalizing Nous? Theophrastus on Nous, Nature, and Motion
There is prima facie evidence that Theophrastus naturalized nous to the extent that he spoke of it in naturalizing terms. But our evidence also suggests that Theophrastus accepted the reasons Aristotle had for excluding nous from the reach of natural philosophy. We show that, far from revealing an inconsistency on Theophrastus’ part, this apparent tension results from a consciously adopted strategy. Theophrastus is developing one aspect of Aristo…
La longévité comparée des plantes et des animaux selon Aristote
Notre propos est ici d'examiner dans quelle mesure Aristote atteint son objectif. Pour ce faire, nous nous concentrerons sur l'approche explicative adoptée dans le traité De longitudine et brevitate vitae ( De la longévité et de la vie brève ), où Aristote se propose de rendre compte de la longévité, sans se limiter aux animaux. Nous discuterons des perspectives que peut ouvrir une telle étude commune aux animaux et aux plantes, mais aussi de ses…

Aristotle’s Generation of Animals, A Critical Guide
Aristotle's Generation of Animals
Generation of Animals is one of Aristotle's most mature, sophisticated, and carefully crafted scientific writings. His overall goal is to provide a comprehensive and systematic account of how animals reproduce, including a study of their reproductive organs, what we would call fertilization, embryogenesis, and organogenesis. In this book, international experts present thirteen original essays providing a philosophically and historically informed …
Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Aristotle in Antiquity
"Brill's Companion to the Reception of Aristotle provides a systematic yet accessible account of the reception of Aristotle's philosophy in antiquity. To date, there has been no comprehensive attempt to explain this complex phenomenon. This volume fills this lacuna by offering broad coverage of the subject from Hellenistic times to the sixth century AD. It is laid out chronologically and the 23 articles are divided into three sections: I: The Hel…
Aristotelianism in the First Century bc
Alexander of Aphrodisias
Titus Aurelius Alexander was a Peripatetic philosopher from the city of Aphrodisias in Caria. We do not have precise dates for him, but his activity can be safely dated to the late second and early third century ce . Concerned with expounding Aristotle's philosophy, Alexander offered a comprehensive and compelling reading of Aristotle, which was transmitted first to late antiquity, and then from late antiquity to the Arabic world and beyond.
Theory and Practice in Aristotle's Natural Science
Aristotle argued that in theory one could acquire knowledge of the natural world. But he did not stop there; he put his theories into practice. This volume of new essays shows how Aristotle's natural science and philosophical theories shed light on one another. The contributors engage with both biological and non-biological scientific works and with a wide variety of theoretical works, including Physics, Generation and Corruption, On the Soul, an…

Andrea Falcon's splendid new work on one of Aristotle's ancient Greek
Straton of Lampsakos
Straton was the second head of the Peripatos after Aristotle.
Peripatetics

Explanation and Teleology in Aristotle's Science of Nature par Mariska Leunissen. Cambridge
Aristotelianism in the First Century BCE
This book is a full study of the remaining evidence for Xenarchus of Seleucia, one of the earliest interpreters of Aristotle. Andrea Falcon places the evidence in its context, the revival of interest in Aristotle's philosophy that took place in the first century BCE. Xenarchus is often presented as a rebel, challenging Aristotle and the Aristotelian tradition. Falcon argues that there is more to Xenarchus and his philosophical activity than an op…
Aristotle and the Science of Nature
Andrea Falcon's work is guided by the exegetical ideal of recreating the mind of Aristotle and his distinctive conception of the theoretical enterprise. In this concise exploration of the significance of the celestial world for Aristotle's science of nature, Falcon investigates the source of discontinuity between celestial and sublunary natures and argues that the conviction that the natural world exhibits unity without uniformity is the ultimate…
Aristotle, Speusippus, and the method of division
Introduction As Aristotle himself says, A.Po. 2.13 is an attempt to provide some rules to hunt out the items predicated in what something is, namely to discover definitions. Since most of this chapter is devoted to the discussion of some rules of division (diairesis) , it may be inferred that somehow division plays a central role in the discovery of definitions. However, in the following pages I shall not discuss what this role is. Nor shall I di…
