On Generation and Corruption , also known as On Coming to Be and Passing Away) is a treatise by Aristotle. Like many of his texts, it is both scientific and philosophic (although not necessarily scientific in the modern sense). The philosophy, though, is essentially empirical; as in all Aristotle's works, the deductions made about the unexperienced and unobservable are based on observations and real experiences.

Aristotle, the ancient Greeks, is one of the great philosopher, scientist and educator in the ancient history of the world. He is a master of Greek philosophy. The writings of Aristotle built the first extensive system of western philosophy, including ethics, aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.
