Reviews

'The breadth of textual evidence that Z. summons to make her case is dazzling, as is her reconstruction of the conceptual debate to which Aristotle was responding in his effort to locate the study of animal life within a larger philosophical project. Z.’s book is a significant contribution to ongoing conversations about the scale of Aristotle’s teleology presented in work by J. Gelber and D. Henry, about whether zōē is a core-dependent homonym, as opened by C. Shields and complicated fruitfully in recent work by C. Coates, and about the kind and extent of Aristotle’s empiricism as explored by M. Gasser-Wingate. Z.’s volume should be considered necessary reading for scholars tracking and participating in these conversations.' Sara Brill, The Classical Review, 2024
