Translated into English by Anthony Preus, the work argues that Aristotle's biological taxonomy is not a mere cataloguing exercise but a conceptually sophisticated system that reflects the deep unity running through the entire Aristotelian corpus. Pellegrin illustrates how Aristotle's method of dividing and classifying animals challenges long-held assumptions about the relationship between logic and natural science in ancient philosophy. With scholarly precision and philosophical acuity, the text details the ways in which Aristotle's approach to biology anticipates and informs his metaphysics, logic, and ethics. This translation made Pellegrin's influential French scholarship accessible to English-speaking audiences and remains an indispensable resource for students and scholars of ancient philosophy and the history of biology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956299280603,"sku":"2026200008258-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/48c4fb0f-a9b7-47eb-9248-8381fdd1b11c.png?v=1783499426","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008258-secondhand-aristotles-classification-of-animals-biology-and-the-conceptual-unity-of-the-aristotelian-corpus","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
