John Cleary here explores the role which the mathematical sciences
play in Aristotle's philosophical thought, especially in his
cosmology, metaphysics, and epistemology. He also thematizes the
aporetic method by means of which he deals with philosophical
questions about the foundations of mathematics. The first two
chapters consider Plato's mathematical cosmology in the light of
Aristotle's critical distinction between physics and mathematics.
Subsequent chapters examine three basic aporiae about mathematical
objects which Aristotle himself develops in his science of first
philosophy. What emerges from this dialectical inquiry is a
different conception of substance and of order in the universe,
which gives priority to physics over mathematics as the
cosmological science. Within this different world-view, we can
better understand what we now call Aristotle's philosophy of
mathematics.
