This is the first full-scale philosophical commentary devoted to
Aristotle's Physics VII, in which Aristotle argues for the
existence of a first, unmoved cosmic mover. This study
systematically considers the major issues of the book, and argues
for the fundamental importance of Physics VII in our understanding
of Aristotelian cosmology and natural science. Physics VII is
extant in two versions, and therefore poses special editorial
problems. For this reason one of the features of Dr Wardy's study
is the provision of an improved text and translation in both
versions. The author's comprehensive comparison of their merits,
philosophical and philological, has a significant bearing on our
understanding of the nature and evolution of the Aristotelian
corpus. The second part of the book is devoted to critical
examination of the argument, including one of the most elaborate
and challenging in the entire Aristotle corpus. Throughout, the
author concentrates on those points where Aristotle diverges most
sharply and provocatively from contemporary presumptions in
philosophy and natural science.
