The Lagoon: How Aristotle Invented Science

Aristotle was one of the greatest philosophers in the history of Western thought. But he was also a scientist -- the first.

Join Armand Leroi, Professor of Evolutionary Developmental Biology, to explore Aristotle's science -- its genius, its errors and its lessons for 21st century science.
