  1. Galen: On Blood, the Pulse, and the Arteries. [REVIEW]Michael Boylan - 2007 - Journal of the History of Biology 40 (2):207 - 230.
    This essay examines several important issues regarding Galen's depiction of the physiology of the arteries.

    Cet article se propose d’étudier le phénomène biologique du plaisir sexuel féminin, dans le but d’en déterminer la place dans le cadastre étiologique d’Aristote. En s’appuyant sur une série de textes tirés du De Generatione Animalium, l’auteur suggère que le plaisir sexuel féminin fait partie des phénomènes qu’Aristote définit comme « en vue du meilleur ». L’étude de ce phénomène donne ainsi l’occasion de s’interroger à nouveaux frais sur la place de la téléologie dans le système causal d’Aristote et la (...)
