Reader reviews for Physics

From the publisher

Physics is a book written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, which explores the fundamental principles of natural science and the physical world. In this work, Aristotle presents his theories on the nature of matter, motion, time, space, and causality. He argues that everything in the universe is composed of four basic elements ������� earth, air, fire, and water ������� and that these elements have inherent properties that determine their behavior. Aristotle also discusses the concept of motion, proposing that all objects in motion are moved by something else and that there must be an ultimate source of motion that is unmoved itself. He also explores the idea of time and suggests that it is a measurement of change, rather than an independent entity. In addition to these theories, Aristotle also delves into the nature of causality, arguing that every event has a cause and that there are four types of causes ������� material, formal, efficient, and final ������� that contribute to the existence and behavior of objects. Overall, Physics is a foundational work in the history of science, presenting some of the earliest and most influential theories on the nature of the physical world. It has been studied and debated for centuries, and its ideas continue to influence modern scientific inquiry.Again, does it follow that Being, if one, is motionless? Why should it not move, the whole of it within itself, as parts of it do which are unities, e.g. this water? Again, why is qualitative change impossible? But, further, Being cannot be one in form, though it may be in what it is made of. (Even some of the physicists hold it to be one in the latter way, though not in the former.) Man obviously differs from horse in form, and contraries from each other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

First line

WHEN the objects of an inquiry, in any department, have principles, conditions, or elements, it is through acquaintance with these that knowledge, that is to say scientific knowledge, is attained.
