Furley's study presents a clear picture of the opposing views of
the natural world and its contents as seen by philosophers and
scientists in classical antiquity. On one side were the
materialists whose world was mechanistic, evolutionary, and
unbounded, lacking the focus of a natural center. The other side
included teleologists, whose world was purposive, non-evolutionary,
finite, and centrifocal. This volume takes the reader up to the
criticisms of Plato and Aristotle. The second volume will examine
Plato and Aristotle's own cosmology and follow the debate to the
sixth century. Professor Furley has produced a history of the early
views of the physical world whose scope makes this book of major
importance.
