Aristotle (384-322 BC) was a philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, the founder of the Lyceum and the Peripatetic school of philosophy and Aristotelian tradition. Along with his teacher Plato, he is considered the "Father of Western Philosophy" and his writings cover many subjects including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, economics, politics and government. His History of the Animals is one of his major texts on biology, and is seen as a pioneering work of zoology which had a powerful influence on the subject for some two thousand years, continuing to be a primary source of knowledge up to the 16th century. It is made up of 10 Books, although Book X dealing with the causes of barrenness in women is generally regarded as being erroneously ascribed to Aristotle. This English translation made by Richard Cresswell, MA, of St John's College Oxford, was first published in 1862 and is reprinted from the edition of 1887.
