Nature and the Artificial: Aristotelian Reflections on the Operative Imperative
Edward Engelmann
This book explores the artificial by examining transformations in the Aristotelian metaphysical understanding of the relationship between nature and techne, which leads to the "operative imperative" in early modernity. With this a reversal takes place, whereby instead of nature being model for techne as it is for Aristotle and Aquinas, techne becomes the model for nature.
