The \u003cem\u003eDe anima\u003c\/em\u003e defines the soul and treats its main powers, nutrition, sense perception, intellection, and locomotion. The \u003cem\u003eParva naturalia -- On sense and sensible objects\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOn memory and recollection\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOn sleep\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOn dreams\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOn divination in sleep\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOn motion of animals (\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eDe motu animalium\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOn length and shortness of life\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eOn youth and old age and respiration --\u003c\/em\u003e attends more to bodily involvement with soul. While each work offers fascinating and challenging insights, there has never been as extensive a commentary covering them together. A reason is that the works have often been viewed as incidental and even inconsistent. The \u003cem\u003eDe motu animalium\u003c\/em\u003e has not typically been included, when viewed as an isolated work on animal locomotion. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This commentary argues that the treatises, considered together and with the \u003cem\u003eDe motu\u003c\/em\u003e among them, display a tight sequence manifesting an artful, yet easily overlooked, design. We reveal many techniques of Aristotle's writing that have received little consideration previously. Our commentary contributes to a unified and comprehensive account of Aristotle's overall project regarding the soul and its connections with the body. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRonald Polansky\u003c\/strong\u003e, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50403065954578,"sku":"9783111235745","price":282.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_68c199f9-d308-4509-928f-9d96c24109bf.jpg?v=1740413361","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/aristotles-parva-naturalia-text-translation-and-commentary-9783111235745","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
