This 1999 book demonstrates a method for reading the texts of Aristotle by revealing a continuous line of argument running from the Physics to De Caelo. The author analyses a group of arguments that are almost always treated in isolation from one another, and reveals their elegance and coherence. She concludes by asking why these arguments remain interesting even though we now believe they are absolutely wrong and have been replaced by better ones. The book establishes the case that we must rethink our approach to Aristotle's physical science and Aristotelian texts, and as such will provoke debate and stimulate new thinking amongst philosophers, classicists, and historians of science.

In the fifth century A.D., Proclus served as head of the Academy in
Athens that had been founded 900 years earlier by Plato. Proclus
was the last great systematizer of Greek philosophy, and his work
exerted a powerful influence in late antiquity, in the Arab world,
and in the Renaissance. His treatise" On the Eternity of the World
"formed the basis for virtually all later arguments for the
eternity of the world and for the existence of God; consequently,
it lies at the heart of neoplatonic philosophy and the controversy
between pagans and Christians at the end of antiquity.
