Aristotle’s view of the female contribution to natural reproduction is that females provide the material basis for the development of the embryo and nourish it with highly purified and processed food (a purified version of her blood). The male parent is responsible for the essence (the what-it-is) of the newly developing being. On this account, the contribution of the female parent is inferior to the contribution of the male parent. Even though the menses that the female parent provides is necessary for the coming-into-being of a new being, she does not contribute to the essence and the process of development of the embryo. Hence, in Aristotle’s view, she is ontologically posterior to the male parent (understanding ontological priority in this context as a priority in essence). This chapter argues that in a passage on ontological priority in the Generation of animals (GA II 6, 742a17–742b18) we find additional evidence for the view that the female animal is inferior to the male animal according to Aristotle.
