| Summary |
"Aristotle's Works" by pseud. Aristotle is a historical and medical treatise, likely compiled during a time when medical practices were beginning to intertwine with philosophical discussions, but it mainly reflects ideas prevalent in the early modern period. This work encompasses varied medical advice, particularly with regard to childbirth, matrimony, and women's health, aiming to equip midwives and expecting mothers with knowledge to navigate the complexities of childbearing and domestic life. The opening portion of this work outlines its intention to provide guidance and knowledge for midwives and women through detailed discussions of childbirth practices and marital advice. It covers various topics, including the natural process of childbirth, the duties and responsibilities inherent in the matrimonial bond, and the potential complications that may arise in both areas. The text advocates for informed decision-making in marriages and child-rearing, emphasizing the social importance of understanding these dynamics to ensure safer and more fulfilling experiences for families.
