Summary "The Works of Aristotle the Famous Philosopher" by William Salmon is a comprehensive collection of the philosopher's medical and scientific writings, likely compiled in the late 17th century. This volume encompasses not just the philosophical explorations of Aristotle but also offers practical advice on marriage, childbirth, and human physiology, reflecting the integration of philosophy with medical knowledge prevalent during that time. The opening portion of the work introduces Aristotle's views on marriage, outlining the natural inclinations of both men and women toward marital relationships and procreation. It discusses the appropriate age for marriage, the physiological aspects of conception, and the impacts of various external factors on fertility. Additionally, Aristotle’s thoughts on the differences in generative capacity between genders are explored, alongside his beliefs about the influence of imaginations during conception. The beginning establishes a thorough foundation for the medical and philosophical discourse to follow, hinting at a blend of empirical observation and normative ethics characteristic of Aristotle's legacy.
