The concept of self-motion is not only fundamental in Aristotle's
argument for the Prime Mover and in ancient and medieval theories
of nature, but it is also central to many theories of human agency
and moral responsibility. In this collection of mostly new essays,
scholars of classical, Hellenistic, medieval, and early modern
philosophy and science explore the question of whether or not there
are such things as self-movers, and if so, what their self-motion
consists in. They trace the development of the concept of
self-motion from its formulation in Aristotle's metaphysics,
cosmology, and philosophy of nature through two millennia of
philosophical, religious, and scientific thought. This volume
contains "Self-Movers" (David Furley), "Aristotle on Self-Motion"
(Mary Louise Gill), "Aristotle on Perception, Appetition, and
Self-Motion" (Cynthia Freeland), "Self-Movement and External
Causation" (Susan Sauve Meyer), "Aristotle on the Mind's
Self-Motion" (Michael Wedin), "Mind and Motion in Aristotle"
(Christopher Shields), "Aristotle's Prime Mover" (Aryeh Kosman),
"The Transcendence of the Prime Mover" (Lindsay Judson),
"Self-Motion in Stoic Philosophy" (David Hahm), "Duns Scotus on the
Reality of Self-Change" (Peter King), "Ockham, Self-Motion, and the
Will" (Calvin Normore), and "Natural Motion and Its Causes: Newton
on the 'Vis Insita' of Bodies" (J. E. McGuire). Originally
published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously

since its founding in 1905.
