Kass, The Committee on Social Thought, University of Chicago \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAristotle’s \u003ci\u003ePhysics\u003c\/i\u003e is the only complete and coherent  book we have from the ancient world in which a thinker of the first rank seeks to say something about nature as a whole. For centuries, Aristotle’s inquiry into the causes and conditions of motion and rest dominated science and philosophy. To understand the intellectual assumptions of a powerful world view-and the roots of the Scientific Revolution-reading Aristotle is critical. Yet existing translations of Aristotle’s \u003ci\u003ePhysics\u003c\/i\u003e have made it difficult to understand either Aristotle’s originality or the lasting value of his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this volume in the Masterworks of Discovery series, Joe Sachs provides a new plain-spoken English translation of all of Aristotle’s classic treatise and accompanies it with a long interpretive introduction, a running explication of the text, and a helpful glossary. He succeeds brilliantly in fulfilling the aim of this innovative series: to give the general reader the tools to read and understand a masterwork of scientific discovery. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSeries Editor's Preface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Note on Aristotle's Central Vocabulary\u003cbr\u003e Book I Beginnings\u003cbr\u003e Book II, Chapter 1-3 Causes\u003cbr\u003e Chapters 4-9 Chance and Necessity\u003cbr\u003e Book III, Chapters 1-3 Motion\u003cbr\u003e Chapters 4-8 The Infinite\u003cbr\u003e Book IV, Chapters 1-5 Place\u003cbr\u003e Chapters 6-9 The Void\u003cbr\u003e Chapters 10-14 Time\u003cbr\u003e Book V Motions as Wholes\u003cbr\u003e Book VI Internal Structure of Motions\u003cbr\u003e Book VII Relation of Mover and Moved\u003cbr\u003e Book VIII, Chapters 1-6 Deduction of Motionless First Mover\u003cbr\u003e Chapters 7-10 The First Motion\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559277195544,"sku":"9780813521923","price":33.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/aristotles-physics-a-guided-study-paperback-softback-9780813521923","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
