Aristotelian Metaphysics: Principles and Causes
Chapter I: Analysis of Aristotelian Metaphysics
Men prefer visible knowledge because sight allows us to know objects and their differences. Animals, such as humans, that possess not only the ability to see but also to retain information (memory) are more capable of learning. Intelligence without the ability to learn is the heritage of those that lack the ability to perceive through the senses (e.g., bees). The human race relies on art and reasoning, unlike other animals. Experience comes from memory.

Relationship, Coordination, and Reproduction in Organisms
The role of relationship allows living things to capture changes (stimuli) and produce a response. Elements of the relationship:
- Incentives: These are variations in the environment, which may be internal or external, physical, chemical, and biotic.
