The dissertation thesis focuses on the main, basic topics of Aristotle's zoology, relying on his biological writings. The assignment covers general philosophical concepts that are common in Aristotle's study of animals; among them are the classification of animals, the relationship between soul and body, the roles or functions of certain body parts, and reproduction or the very generation of animals. In the last part of the thesis, the position of man within the animal kingdom is highlighted, which actually means that the differences between man and non-human animals are served, the evidence of which can be found in the biological writings, and which partly differ from Aristotle's common definitions of man in comparison to other creatures, but in some cases, the definitions have a meaningful parallel with those within the philosopher's more famous practical writings.
