摘要

本文对亚里士多德关于鸟类为何以及如何能够自然飞行的解释进行了重构。对亚里士多德来说，与水和土相比，空气是一个明显不同的外部静止点，大自然设计鸟类是为了利用空气影响(a)向下的推力(即向下的力)和(b)阻力之间的不平等的独特方式。我的讨论揭示了亚里士多德对现代流体动力学和空气动力学某些方面的预期。

Aristotle on Flight: Air as an External Resting Point

Abstract I reconstruct Aristotle’s explanation for why and how birds are capable of natural flight. For Aristotle, air is a markedly different external resting point in comparison with water and earth, and nature has designed birds so as to take advantage of the unique way in which air affects the inequality between (a) the pushing downward, that is, the downward force and (b) the resistance. My discussion sheds some light on Aristotle’s anticipation of some aspects of modern fluid dynamics and aerodynamics.
