This excellent book provides great insights to those who are Aristotle scholars as well as to those who have only a casual acquaintance with his works. It reveals how Aristotle's philosophical system produced a coherent approach to the study of living things that is still deeply relevant, and provides a comprehensive and detailed account of how his philosophy of science furnishes a theoretical structure for the generation of disciplined inquiry and meaningful explanation in the biological realm. James Lennox effectively demonstrates that Aristotle's biological treatises are an integral part of his natural philosophy and constitute a complete, functioning research program
