Philoponus: On Aristotle Physics 4.6-9

Translated by Pamela Huby. Philoponus rejects Aristotle's attack on the very idea of void and of the possibility of motion in it, even though he thinks that void never occurs in fact. Philoponus' argument was later to be praised by Galileo. The volume contains the first English translation of Philoponus' commentary, as well as a detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes and a bibliography. 138 Seiten, gebunden (Ancient Commentators on Aristotle/Bristol Classical Press 2012) textsauberes Exemplar mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren/clean text pages, minor traces of use
