Aristotle's influence on the Renaissance was immense and between 1500 and 1650, 6,653 commentaries on his works were produced (Blum, 2010). Aristotle postulated that the requirements for an entity to be natural were that it possessed motion in the sense that it changed place (e.g. earth falls, fire rises), that it grew and diminished ( for example, a seedling transformed into a tree), and that it underwent changes. alteration (e.g., a caterpillar turns into a butterfly) (Aristotle & Barnes, 1987). This movement, expressed by one of the types mentioned above, was essential to the being of an object. Generally speaking, the origin of this movement can be traced to the divine spark, existing in every natural being, which infuses them with a sense of purpose and self.

Aristotle concludes that all natural beings, thus interconnected, all possess a dignity that human beings are morally bound to respect..
