Art and Nature in Aristotle’s Physics: Some Antecedents in Early Greek Medicine

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article focuses on Aristotle’s use of the phrase “art imitates nature”. It challenges Jaeger’s teleological interpretation of the phrase and defends the claim that for Aristotle it does not express a novel belief about teleology, but a belief common to Aristotle and his predecessors about how artistic methods of production were first discovered and how technai progress. The article traces the history of this belief from early Greek medical writings through Democritus and Plato to Aristotle. It shows that by looking at how early Greek medical and philosophical writers understood discovery and progress in the arts, we can better understand Aristotle’s expectations for a scientific investigation into nature and what motivated the method of inquiry he claims the natural scientist should adopt. One advantage of this approach is that it accounts for resemblances among Aristotle’s claim and similar ones in other writers from Democritus to Dante.
