On Generation and Corruption
open-in-new
<p><i>On Generation and Corruption</i> , also known as <i>On Coming to Be and Passing Away</i> is a treatise by <a href="/facts/Aristotle/U2bDlBFW">Aristotle</a>. Like many of his texts, it is both scientific, part of <a href="/facts/Aristotle%27s_biology/jc8E4MBx">Aristotle's biology</a>, and philosophic. The philosophy is essentially <a href="/facts/Empiricism/f68IpCeE">empirical</a>; as in <a href="/facts/Corpus_Aristotelicum/p35olw41">all</a> of Aristotle's works, the inferences made about the unexperienced and unobservable are based on observations and real experiences. </p>
