Publisher's Synopsis
On Generation and Corruption is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. The book explores the fundamental concepts of change, growth, and decay in the natural world. Aristotle examines the processes of generation and corruption, or the creation and destruction of living things. He considers the elements of earth, water, air, and fire, and how they interact to produce the phenomena of life. The book also delves into the nature of time and motion, and how these concepts relate to the processes of change in the natural world. Overall, On Generation and Corruption is a foundational work in the field of natural philosophy, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
