Hardback. Zustand: New. Andrea Falcon's work is guided by the exegetical ideal of recreating the mind of Aristotle and his distinctive conception of the theoretical enterprise. In this concise exploration of the significance of the celestial world for Aristotle's science of nature, Falcon investigates the source of discontinuity between celestial and sublunary natures and argues that the conviction that the natural world exhibits unity without uniformity is the ultimate reason for Aristotle's claim that the heavens are made of a special body, unique to them. This book presents Aristotle as a totally engaged, systematic investigator whose ultimate concern was to integrate his distinct investigations into a coherent interpretation of the world we live in, all the while mindful of human limitations to what can be known. Falcon reads in Aristotle the ambition of an extraordinarily curious mind and the confidence that that ambition has been largely fulfilled.…

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. In recent years the study of Aristotle's philosophy of nature has taken a new direction, under which Aristotle is shown to have regarded the natural world, and its study, as having a clear structure. Andrea Falcon explores this new direction in order to present an accessible examination of Aristotle's philosophy of nature. He shows that Aristotle, while systematically investigating nature, also recognized the limitations of natural science. Aristotle insisted that the celestial world is radically different from the sublunary world and that there is an important discontinuity between both worlds. This book explores the source of the discontinuity and argues that Aristotle's conviction that the natural world exhibits unity without uniformity ultimately led to his claim that the heavens are made of a special body, unique to them. Highly accessible and clearly-structured, this book is essential reading for all students of Aristotle's philosophy of nature. Aristotle's philosophy of nature is examined in the light of the argument that he regarded the natural world, and its study, as having a clear structure. Professor Falcon argues that Aristotle, though systematic, recognized the limitations of natural science and claimed that the natural world exhibits unity without uniformity.
