Abstract

[As Aristotle lays the grounds for his inquiry into the parts and lives of animals, he turns to a discussion of dichotomous division. As we shall see, the relationship between the examination of parts of a whole and the attempt to determine kinds either through dichotomous division or some other way proves difficult, but also provides an opportunity to broaden the discussion. We must attempt to see how what appears to be a digression on a method practiced in the Academy relates to questions and issues raised in PA I.1, in addition to illuminating certain issues one encounters later in the PA in the examination of the parts and lives of animals.]
