Physics

by Aristotle, Robin Waterfield (Translator), David Bostock (Editor)

Overview

The eighth book of Aristotle's Physics is the culmination of his theory of nature. He discusses not just physics, but the origins of the universe and the metaphysical foundations of cosmology and physical science. Daniel Graham offers a clear, accurate new translation of this key text in the history of Western thought, and accompanies the translation with a careful philosophical commentary.

Editorial Reviews

"Exceptionally well done. Fine orientation to the work. Excellent set of references."—Brian Dybowski, College of Santa Fe

"Excellent translation—useful for contemporary students with no grasp of Greek and little patience with archais English."—Morton Schagrin, SUNY Fredonia

"This is a very good book. It is clearly written, yet at the same time it is still of high scholarly value."—Stephen Joseph, Framingham State College
