This volume provides an introduction to Borelli’s theory on the movement of animals and demonstrates the nature of the energy of percussion, its causes, properties and effects. Building on and moving away from the theory of mechanics as formulated by Aristotle and Galileo, and countering objections expressed by Stephani degli Angeli among others, Borelli presents a completely mechanical account of the action of muscles, and analyzes the way in which the center of gravity of the animal shifts in locomotion. Originally published in Italian in 1667, then translated into Latin in 1686, the text of this volume has now been translated into English, making the text accessible to a wide readership.  This volume is the first of two volumes that contain the Introduction and physical-mathematical illustrations necessary to understand Giovanni Alfonso Borelli’s work On the Movement of Animals, the founding text of seventeenth century biomechanics. The second volume, entitled On The Natural Motions Resulting From Gravity, describes his theory and scientific experiments relating to the natural movements of bodies in a fluid environment.

Aristoteles hat eine allgemeine, d.h. für Mensch und Tier gemeinsam konzipierte Theorie der Motivation: die Theorie der animalischen Ortsbewegung. Dieses Buch interpretiert die Theorie und analysiert ihre grundlegenden Begriffe. Im ersten, begriffsanalytisch gehaltenen Teil werden Aristoteles' Bestimmung der Lust/Leid-Empfindung, der Strebung und der drei Arten der Strebung behandelt. Im zweiten Teil folgt die zusammenhängende Interpretation der für die Theorie unmittelbar relevanten Texte. Dies sind De Anima III, Kapitel 9 bis 11, sowie die kleine Schrift De Motu Animalium (Kap. 6 bis 11). Im Resultat zeigt sich, dass Aristoteles' Motivationstheorie einen ganz eigenen Ansatz verfolgt, der, obgleich er stark auf den essentialistischen und hylemorphistischen Grundannahmen seiner Naturphilosophie aufbaut, interessante Perspektiven auf die Sachfragen bietet und die philosophische Debatte in der Handlungstheorie bereichern kann: Es ist gerade sein essentialistischer Naturbegriff, der es Aristoteles gestattet, dort zu überzeugenden Resultaten zu gelangen, wo die moderne Diskussion ins Stocken gekommen ist. Dies betrifft vor allem die Theorie der Strebung, die Psychophysik intentionaler Zustände und den Zusammenhang von Denken und Bewegung.
