Synopsis

On Generation and Corruption is a philosophical treatise written by Aristotle, one of the most influential thinkers in Western philosophy. In this book, Aristotle explores the nature of change, particularly the changes that occur in living things. He argues that all change is caused by the interaction of two opposing forces - one that seeks to preserve a thing's essence, and another that seeks to transform it.Aristotle also discusses the nature of matter and form, and how they relate to the process of generation and corruption. He argues that matter is the potential for existence, while form is the actualization of that potential. Through this lens, he explores the process of growth and decay in living things, and how they relate to the larger natural world.Throughout the book, Aristotle draws on his observations of the natural world, as well as the philosophical traditions that came before him. He explores the ideas of other ancient philosophers, such as Empedocles and Anaxagoras, and builds on their theories to create his own unique perspective on the nature of change.On Generation and Corruption is a dense and challenging read, but it is also one of the foundational texts of Western philosophy. It has influenced countless thinkers over the centuries, and remains a vital part of the philosophical canon.Further, we are to study growth and 'alteration'. We must inquire what each of them is; and whether 'alteration' is to be identified with coming-to-be, or whether to these different names there correspond two separate processes with distinct natures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Along with Plato and Socrates, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) is one of the triumvirate of philosophers responsible for the establishment of Western philosophy as it exists today. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were among the first to refine philosophical thought, and Socrates is credited with devising the Socratic Method as a way to argue and debate points rationally. The Ancient Greek philosophers further stressed the importance of virtue and stoicism, advocating the improvement of one’s self through constant learning and knowledge. These teachings and practices formed the foundation for philosophy and psychology as fields of study. Still, Aristotle was very much his own philosopher. Though he studied at Plato’s famous academy, he was not hesitant to counter or criticize Plato’s philosophical stances on certain issues. Aristotle was the most renowned Ancient Greek philosopher for nearly 2,000 years, and his most famous work is Rhetoric, his preeminent treatise on the art of persuasion. Aristotle is widely credited with being the forbearer of the study of the art of rhetoric.
