Abstract

The article focuses on the book "Aristotle on How Animals Move: The De incessu animalium," which provides a comprehensive study of Aristotle's treatise on animal locomotion. The volume includes a critical edition of the Greek text, an English translation, and interpretative essays that explore Aristotle's scientific methodology and principles regarding animal movement. It highlights Aristotle's systematic observations and explanations of locomotion, emphasizing his teleological approach and the variety of movement among animals. The book aims to fill a gap in the study of Aristotle's works, as "De incessu animalium" has been one of his least examined texts, and it is presented as a valuable resource for understanding Aristotle's contributions to biology.
