Simplicius: On Aristotle Physics 5 by Professor J.O. Urmson (English) Paperback

Description: Simplicius: On Aristotle Physics 5 by Professor J.O. Urmson, J.O. Urmson Simplicius, the greatest surviving ancient authority on Aristotles Physics , lived in the sixth century A. D. He produced detailed commentaries on several of Aristotles works. Those on the Physics, which alone come to over 1,300 pages in the original Greek, preserve a centuries-old tradition of ancient scholarship on Aristotle.In Physics Book 5 Aristotle lays down some of the principles of his dynamics and theory of change. What does not count as change: change of relation? The flux of time? There is no change of change, yet acceleration is recognised. Aristotle defines continuous, contact and next, and uses these definitions in discussing when we can claim that the same change or event is still going on.This volume is complemented by David Konstans translation of Simplicius commentary on Physics Book 6, which has already appeared in this series. It is Book 6 that gives spatial application to the terms defined in Book 5, and uses them to mount a celebrated attack on atomism. Simplicius commentaries enrich our understanding of the Physics and of its interpretation in the ancient world. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography J. O.
