"First published in 1922, this volume provided a completely revised text of Aristotle's "De generatione et corruption" with introduction and commentary by Harold Joachim, the foremost textual critic and interpreter of Spinoza and Aristotle of his generation. Following the "Physics" and "De caelo", this treatise on coming-to-be and passing-away forms a part of Aristotle's natural philosophy which defines a type of change, distinct from alteration, growth, or diminution, among "simple" natural sublunary bodies. Joachim described the work as "Full of allusions to the speculations of his predecessors and contemporaries" and "inextricably interwoven with the theories elaborated in his other works", and this philosophical richness is fully explored in the commentary.".
