About the book
Aristotle is best known along with Plato and Socrates as a philosopher responsible for the establishment of Western philosophy as it exists today, but his interests were varied far beyond philosophy. In The History of Animals, Aristotle wrote what can be considered an ancient form of zoology, discussing the natural history of other creatures. It's a massive tome that helped serve as a base of knowledge for animals in the West moving forward.
