Philoponus' commentary on the last part of Aristotle's "Physics"
Book 4 does not offer major alternatives to Aristotle's science, as
did his commentary on the earlier parts, concerning place, vacuum
and motion in a vacuum. Aristotle's subject here is time, and his
treatment of it had led to controversy in earlier writers.
Philoponus does offer novelties when he treats motion round a bend
as in one sense faster than motion on the straight over the same
distance in the same time, because of the need to consider the
greater effort involved. And he points out that in an earlier
commentary on Book 8 he had argued against Aristotle for the
possibility of a last instant of time.This volume contains an
English translation of Philoponus' commentary, as well as a
detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes and a
bibliography.
