Description

The De incessu animalium forms an integral part of Aristotle's biological corpus but is one of the least studied Aristotelian works both by ancient and modern interpreters. Yet it is a treatise where we can see, with some clarity and detail, Aristotle's methodology at work. This volume contains a new critical edition of the Greek text, an English translation, and nine in-depth interpretative essays. A general introduction that focuses on the explanatory strategies adopted by Aristotle in the De incessu animalium plus a historical essay on the reception of this work in antiquity and beyond open the volume. No other work of this kind has been published in any modern language. 01.0_pp_i_iv_Frontmatter 02.0_pp_v_vi_Contents 03.0_pp_vii_vii_List_of_Figures 04.0_pp_viii_viii_List_of_Tables 05.0_pp_ix_xii_Notes_on_Contributors 06.0_pp_xiii_xiii_Preface 07.0_pp_xiv_xvi_List_of_Abbreviations 08.0_pp_1_2_Introduction 08.1_pp_3_18_Explanatory_Strategies_in_the_De_incessu_animalium 08.2_pp_19_32_The_Reception_of_the_De_incessu_animalium 09.0_pp_33_34_Greek_Text_and_Translation 09.1_pp_35_40_Preface_to_the_Greek_Text 09.2_pp_41_41_Sigla_Manuscriptorum 09.3_pp_42_98__ 10.0_pp_99_100_Interpretative_Essays 10.1_pp_101_116_De_incessu_animalium_13_The_Theoretical_Framework_and_the_Beginning_of_the_Actual_Investigation 10.2_pp_117_140_De_incessu_animalium_4_Aristotles_Conception_of_Dimension 10.3_pp_141_161_De_incessu_animalium_56_The_Architecture_of_Locomotive_Bodies 10.4_pp_162_193_De_incessu_animalium_78_Number_and_Distribution_of_Feet_in_Animal_Progression 10.5_pp_194_216_De_incessu_animalium_9_Aristotles_Mathematical_Kinesiology_The_Case_of_Bending 10.6_pp_217_232_De_incessu_animalium_1011_Flight_and_Two-Footedness 10.7_pp_233_265_De_incessu_animalium_1213_Limb-Bending_and_Natural_Teleology 10.8_pp_266_281_De_incessu_animalium_1415_Teleology_Across_Kinds 10.9_pp_282_296_De_incessu_animalium_1619_The_Motion_of_Many-Footed_Animals_and_Cases_of_Peculiar_Motion_in_Water 11.0_pp_297_306_References 12.0_pp_307_309_General_Index 13.0_pp_309_315_Index_Locorum
