The Physics is one of Aristotle's masterpieces--a work of extraordinary intellectual power which has had a profound influence on the development of metaphysics and the philosophy of science, as well as on the development of physics itself. This collection of ten new essays by leading Aristotelian scholars examines a wide range of issues in the Physics and related works, including method, causation and explanation, chance, teleology, the infinite, the nature of time, the critique of atomism, the role of mathematics in Aristotle's physics, and the concept of self-motion. The essays offer fresh approaches to Aristotle's work in these areas, and important new interpretations of his thought.
This collection of essays investigates the foundational concepts of Aristotle's Physics and their enduring impact on the history of metaphysics and scientific thought. Edited by Lindsay Judson, the volume gathers contributions from prominent scholars who analyze Aristotle's methodology, causal theories, and physical principles. By re-examining texts such as the Physics alongside related works, the authors provide updated interpretations of Aristotelian natural philosophy.
