Aristotle was the first Greek thinker
to articulate sciences of biology and zoology
and he was also the originator of comparative
anatomy. In this investigation I want to
show the relation between the account of scientific explanation in the logical treatises and the investigations reported in the natural treatises.
In the second part the article examines
Aristotle’s views on brain function in the context
of his time and considers how this context
lead Aristotle to commit a “scandalous
error.”
