Question

What are some characteristics that Aristotle uses to classify and differentiate animals? What does this tell us about Aristotle’s assumptions about the nature of living beings?

Answer 1

Answer)

The characteristics that Aristotle used to classify and differentiate animals was physical characteristics. Animals with blood were placed in one group and animals without blood were placed in another group. Aristotle divided animals into 2 groups and then each of the 2 group was divided into 5 genera and then each genera was divided into species.

Aristotle’s assumption about the nature of living being is that they have the desire (as well as capacity) to know and understand the truth and walk on the path which is morally good and to also represent their ideal in front of everyone through action.
