Aristotle's Meteorology influenced generations of speculation about
the earth sciences - ranging from atmospheric phenomena to
earthquakes. The commentary of John Philoponus (6th century AD) on
the opening three chapters of Meteorology is here translated for
the first time into English by Dr Inna Kupreeva, building on the
work of L.G. Westerink. Philoponus - who today is increasingly
respected as a philosopher in his own right - here engages
critically with Aristotle's views about the building-blocks of our
world, its size and relationship to other heavenly bodies, and
reception of warmth from the sun. This volume will be of interest
to all students of ancient and medieval philosophy, history and
philosophy of science.
