Andrea Falcon (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University)

Aristotle and the Science of Nature

Unity Without Uniformity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
