Description

For many centuries, Aristotle's Physics was the essential starting point for anyone who wished to study the natural sciences. This book begins with an analysis of change, which introduces us to Aristotle's central concepts of matter and form, before moving on to an account of explanation in the sciences and a defense of teleological explanation. Aristotle then turns to detailed discussions of notions such as infinity, place, void, time, and continuity. This is the first complete translation of Physics into English since 1930. It presents Aristotle's thought accurately, while simplifying and expanding the style of the original for easier reading. A lucid introduction and extensive notes explain the general structure of each section of the book and shed light on particular problems. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
