Description

Explore the foundational roots of dynamics with Philoponus: On Aristotle Physics 4.6-9. Published by Bristol Classical Press as part of the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, this text offers a direct look at the thinker identified as the founder of the theory of impetus. This theory, which describes an inner force impressed from without, represents a significant moment in scientific history that later became a scientific revolution. In this volume, Philoponus challenges Aristotelian views regarding the existence of a void and the possibility of motion within it. While he maintains that a void never occurs in practice, his rejection of Aristotle's specific attacks on the concept provides essential context for the evolution of physics. His logical arguments were later recognized and praised by Galileo, making this a vital text for students of history and science. This specific edition focuses on the commentary without the previously translated Corollary on Void, providing a streamlined study of his physics.
