本书是亚里士多德的生物学著作。《构造》篇（并和《运动》《行进》两短篇）和《生殖》篇，是依据他和吕克昂学院师生们关于动物的野外观察，标本收集，室内解剖，文献编纂等工作而总结起来的比较解剖学和动物胚胎学的理论。这些和《动物志》，在中古时代合成“动物三书”。这些书不仅是从事学术史研究的必读文献，对于现代动物胚胎学的比较解剖学仍具有实际的意义。书中所习用的分析与综合方法，以及所表现出的学术研究的基本态度，对于现代学者也具有予以复习的价值。

国内第一部系统研究亚里多德伦理学术的著作，它用表解和诠释的方法，对亚氏伦理思想进行了准确的概括和转述，并结合中国伦理思想进行了比较分析。1933年由商务印书馆出版，至今仍起导读的作用。

This interpretation of Aristotle's "Poetics" seeks to demonstrate that it is a coherent statement of a challenging theory of poetic art and that it hints towards a theory of mimetic art in general. Assessing this theory against the background of earlier Greek views on poetry and art, particularly Plato's, Stephen Halliwell sets Aristotle's ideas in the wider context of his philosophical system. The core of the book is an appraisal of Aristotle's view of tragic drama, in which Halliwell contends that at the heart of the "Poetics" lies a philosophical urge to instill a secularized understanding of Greek tragedy.
