| Abstract: | In this paper, I explore the way in which Aristotle seems to appeal to certain principles of economics—most notably, the division and combination of labor—in describing and attempting to explain certain biological phenomena. I use examples recently employed in the bioeconomics literature and discuss how Aristotle uses similar examples in similar ways. |
