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 defence of
teleological explanation. Aristotle then turns to detailed,
important, and often ingenious discussions of notions such as
infinity, place, void, time, and conintuity. He ends with an
argument designed to show that the changes we experience in the
world demand as their cause a single unchanging cause of all
change, namely God. This is the first complete translation of
Physics into English since 1930. It presents Aristotle's thought
accurately, while at the same time simplifying and expanding the
often crabbed and elliptical style of the original, so that it is
very much easier to read. 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.
