Description

Aristotle's Physics and Its Medieval Varieties by Helen S. Lang This book explores the development of natural philosophy and physics from Aristotle to the fourteenth century, examining how ideas were interpreted and transformed over time. The first part presents Aristotelian concepts, while the second part delves into the reinterpretation of these ideas by prominent thinkers such as Philoponus, Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, John Buridan, and Duns Scotus. The study considers key problems and texts from Aristotle's works, tracing their influence on European natural philosophy from the thirteenth to seventeenth centuries. The book concludes by anticipating Newton and assessing how Aristotle's physics had evolved over time.
