The Physics is a foundational work of Western philosophy and is crucial for understanding Aristotle's views on matter, form, essence, causation, movement, space, and time. This richly annotated, scrupulously accurate, and consistent translation makes it accessible to a contemporary English reader like no other.

It fits together seamlessly with other closely associated works in the New Hackett Aristotle series, such as the Metaphysics, De Anima, and the forthcoming De Caelo and Rhetoric. Eventually, the series will include all of Aristotle's works.

Sequentially numbered endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture, while a detailed Index of Terms indicates where focused discussion of key notions occurs. An illuminating general introduction describes the book that lies ahead, explaining what sort of work it is and what sorts of evidence it relies on.
