Description

Explore the foundational ideas of earth sciences through this scholarly work from Bristol Classical Press. This volume presents the commentary of John Philoponus, a 6th century AD philosopher, on the first three chapters of Aristotle's Meteorology. Aristotle's original work influenced generations of thought regarding atmospheric phenomena and earthquakes. This edition features the first English translation of Philoponus's commentary by Dr. Inna Kupreeva, building upon the existing research of L.G. Westerink. As Philoponus is increasingly recognized as a significant philosopher, this text provides a unique look at his critical engagement with Aristotle's views. The content examines the building-blocks of our world, the size of the earth, its relationship to other heavenly bodies, and the reception of warmth from the sun.
