Description

Aristotle going through animals as if the body were a readable book: soul-kinds, sense organs, guts, generation. On the Parts of Animals, four stretches of biological attention, spoken in English, unabridged. Adelphi audiobook. Not a modern lab. How a Greek philosopher looked at eyes, ears, the engine of a creature. Listen to anatomy as philosophy. Human among the beasts. A treatise of parts, functions, the old question of what a living thing is for, heard as a long, exact lesson.
