Condition: Gut. XIII, 250 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - CONTENTS -- Introduction -- Aristotle s defense of natural teleology: setting the stage for teleological explanations in the Physica -- Aristotle s bio-functional account of the soul: establishing the starting points of teleological explanation in the De Anima -- Introducing biology as a demonstrative science: the theory of teleological explanation in the De Partibus Animalium I -- Explaining parts of animals: the practice of teleological explanation in the De Partibus Animalium II IV -- Making sense of the heavens: the limits of teleological explanation in the De Caelo -- Aristotle s model of science: formalizing teleological explanations in the Analytica Posteriora -- In Aristotle s teleological view of the world, natural things come to be and are present for the sake of some function or end (for example, wings are present in birds for the sake of flying). Whereas much recent scholarship has focused on uncovering the (meta-)physical underpinnings of Aristotle s teleology and its contrasts with his notions of chance and necessity, this book examines Aristotle s use of the theory of natural teleology in producing explanations of natural phenomena. Close analyses of Aristotle s natural treatises and his Posterior Analytics show what methods are used for the discovery of functions or ends that figure in teleological explanations, how these explanations are structured, and how well they work in making sense of phenomena. The book will be valuable for all those who are interested in Aristotle s natural science, his philosophy of science, and his biology.
