More about the book
The book offers a fresh perspective on the discovery of blood circulation, attributing its origins to William Harvey’s adherence to Aristotle’s investigative methods regarding animals. It argues that Harvey’s groundbreaking work, often viewed as purely modern, is deeply rooted in ancient philosophy. This reinterpretation not only reshapes our understanding of Harvey as an anatomist but also reevaluates Aristotle's contributions to the study of animals, highlighting the interconnectedness of their ideas in the evolution of anatomical science.
