De mundo is a protreptic to philosophy in the form of a letter to
Alexander the Great and is traditionally ascribed to Aristotle. It
offers a unique view of the cosmos, God and their relationship,
which was inspired by Aristotle but written by a later author. The
author provides an outline of cosmology, geography and meteorology,
only to argue that a full understanding of the cosmos cannot be
achieved without a proper grasp of God as its ultimate cause. To
ensure such a grasp, the author provides a series of twelve
carefully chosen interlocking analogies, building a complex picture
in the reader's mind. The work develops a distinctly Aristotelian
picture of God and the cosmos while paying tribute to
pre-Aristotelian philosophers and avoiding open criticism of rival
schools of philosophy. De mundo exercised considerable influence in
late antiquity and then in the Renaissance and Early Modern times.
