Father of Zoology

 

Father of Zoology Overview

Since the beginning of time, people have who studying animal behavior. Comparative anatomical studies are credited with helping to establish modern zoology as a field of study by hunter and Cuvier. Zoology, a branch of biology, is the subjects of this study of animal existence. Zoology studies the morphology, metabolism, behavior, environment, and health of animals. Among the techniques employed are microscopy, genetic analysis, and fieldwork ecology. Aristotle was a renowned philosopher who lived from 384 to 322 BC. His intellectual interests were wide-ranging and included the majority of the arts, sciences, poetry, political philosophy, and psychology. Greece was the nation where Aristotle was born.

What is Zoology?

Zoology is the branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystem. The term is derived from Ancient Greek.

Scope of Zoology

Zoology studies the origin and development of animal species, the habits and behavior of animals, and the interaction between animals and their environment. They also research the development of animal diseases. It includes the study of animal's as varied as elephants, kangaroos, and killer sharks.

Aristotle's Treatises

Students of Aristotle's pragmeteiai will be delighted by this monograph in which, for the first time in a book-length study, Systematic attention is given to Aristotle's language, style and method of literary composition. Traditionally, this has often been dismissing, rather crudely, as 'lecture notes' or 'Notizenstil', as opposed to the 'golden fluency' which, according to Cicero, Characterized Aristotle's (lost) dialogues; and the undeniable clumsiness and carelessness of parts of Aristotle's surviving writings has long prevented classicists from taking a closer interest in the intricacies of Aristotelian discourse. However, with the advent of reception studies, discourse analysis, the study of the pragmatic function of texts ( rather than their supposed literary or non-literacy nature), and the renewed interest taken in rhetorical any student of Aristotle will recognize that, however impersonal the tone of his works and however careless the structure of his argument may appear, his writings nonetheless contain a hidden but undeniable psychagogic rhetoric that is clearly meant to make the reader agree with his conclusions, for example, in the subtle balance between confident explanation and seemingly genuine uncertainly, resulting in a careful alternation of dogmatic statements and exploratory suggestions. These, and many other features of Aristotle's way of writing, are the subject of Lengen's book (a revised Ph.D. thesis from Freiburg University, one of the many interesting fruits from the 'Mundlichkeit and Schriftlichkeit' program directed by Wolfgang Kullmann). L. takes his cute from what Aristotle himself says in Metaphysics a (and elsewhere) about the ideal recipient of his discourses. Aristotle is clearly aware of the ways in which a scientific discussion of a topic should take account of the knowledge, background, needs and expectations of its intended audience (e.g., in the level of accuracy and technicality, the level of background knowledge to be presupposed, the nature of the arguments used). Thus, he could be said to reflect an early awareness of what in reception studies has come to be known as the 'Appell Struktur' of texts. It should be noted that, although L. Is obviously familiar with reception theory, his method is largely and refreshingly descriptive, and his use of theoretical terminology. 

Branches of Zoology 

The study of animal life is ancient, but its scientific incarnation is relatively modern. Until the comparative anatomical study on morpho graphs by Hunter and Cuvier, the modern areas of zoological investigations have occurred. Gradually zoology expanded behind the comparative anatomy to include the following sub-disciplines:

• Zoology, it is also known as descriptive zoology.
• Comparative zoology.
• Soil Zoology.
• Mammalogy.
• Comparative anatomy.
• Herpetology.
• Animal physiology.
• Entomology.
• Behavior Ecology.
• Ornithology.
• Ethology studies animal behavior.
• Invertebrate and vertebrate zoology.
• Taxonomically oriented disciplines identify and classify species and study the structures and mechanisms specific to those groups.
