The Physics. Writings on Natural Philosophy (Concise Edition)

One of Aristotle's great works, The Physics is an investigation into the nature of being, of the world and its place in the universe. Although philosophically much broader, it provides the foundation for the later work of Galileo, Isaac Newton, and prefigures Albert Einstein's breakthrough theories on time, space and the motion of stars.

Aristotle's great work that laid the foundations for Galileo, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein's much later discoveries about the natural laws of life and the universe.

Description

The Physics. Writings on Natural Philosophy (Concise Edition) by Aristotle is a seminal work that laid the foundations for the later discoveries of celebrated scientists such as Galileo, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein. In the philosophical language of Aristotle and the Greeks of Antiquity, "Physics" translates to 'the order of nature', encompassing what we now differentiate as philosophy, science, politics, humanities, and religion.

One of Aristotle's great works, The Physics is an exploration into the nature of being, the world, and its place in the universe. Though philosophically broad, it sets the groundwork for the future achievements of Galileo and Newton, and foreshadows Einstein's groundbreaking theories on time, space, and the motion of stars.
