Abstract: In De Partibus Animalium I Aristotle sets out his philosophy of biology, discussing cause, necessity, soul, genus and species, definition by logical division, and general methodology. In De Generatione Animalium I he applies his hylomorphic philosophy to the problem of animal reproduction. This accurate translation includes passages from De Generatione Animalium II that complete Aristotle's theory of reproduction and notes that interpret his arguments and discuss his views on such major issues as natural teleology.
