Andrea Falcon's work is guided by the exegetical ideal of
recreating the mind of Aristotle and his distinctive conception of
the theoretical enterprise. In this concise exploration of the
significance of the celestial world for Aristotle's science of
nature, Falcon investigates the source of discontinuity between
celestial and sublunary natures and argues that the conviction that
the natural world exhibits unity without uniformity is the ultimate
reason for Aristotle's claim that the heavens are made of a special
body, unique to them. This book presents Aristotle as a totally
engaged, systematic investigator whose ultimate concern was to
integrate his distinct investigations into a coherent
interpretation of the world we live in, all the while mindful of
human limitations to what can be known. Falcon reads in Aristotle
the ambition of an extraordinarily curious mind and the confidence
that that ambition has been largely fulfilled.
