Aristotle on life and death
By:R. A. H. King
Published on 2001-09-14 by Duckbacks
Aristotle thinks of living things as food burners: they nourish themselves, and so, in some cases, possess the capacity for higher living functions such as perceiving. Their burning must be balanced, if it is to continue - and one way they do this is through breathing. Nonetheless, all such burning naturally develops and declines, thus describing the life span of the being concerned. Dr Kings' treatment provides a detailed reading of the end of the |Parva Naturalia| (|On the Length and Shortness of Life|, |On Youth, Old Age, Life and Death|, including |On Breathing|). He shows how the investigation into life begun in the |De Anima| is completed in the |Parva Naturalia|, culminating in definitions of the stages of the life cycle, from generation of a new living thing up to death, using the activity of nutrition.
