Excerpt from De Caelo
This translation was begun many years ago in co-opera tion with Mr. H. B. Wallis of the Board of Education. Unfortunately he was obliged to turn to other work, but his original draft formed the basis of nearly half my version of the book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of nature, exploring the fundamental principles of bodies, magnitudes, and their movements. The author embarks on a philosophical journey to uncover the nature of the cosmos, investigating the existence and characteristics of heavenly bodies. Building on the ideas of earlier thinkers, the author presents a compelling argument for the existence of a fifth element, distinct from the four elements of earth, water, air, and fire. This fifth element, the author argues, is responsible for the circular motion of the celestial spheres and possesses unique qualities such as immutability and indestructibility. The book then dives deeper into the nature of the heavenly bodies, examining their movements, order, and composition, offering insights into the shape and position of the Earth. The author challenges existing theories about generation and decay, proposing a fresh perspective on the elements and their interactions. This book offers a unique blend of philosophical inquiry and scientific observation, providing a captivating exploration of the fundamental principles of the natural world. It reveals the author's deep engagement with the intellectual tradition of his time and presents a groundbreaking argument for the existence and significance of the fifth element. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333161859_0
