Title: On Plants
Name: Aristotle
Presentation Venue: Oxford University Press, 1963
Summary
Aristotle examines the life and existence of plants. In structure, he composed his argument in two parts. The first of these two parts deals with the physical characteristics of plants from a compositional and functional stand point. The second of the two parts deals with the environmental forces acting on plants and how they are affected by the world around them.
Discussion
It is obvious and apparent that this work was written a long time ago before a lot of our modern understanding of plants was available to him. It demonstrates that he was pioneering a field that had little understanding at the time that he wrote the original material.
