Physics

Summary

Aristotle's «Physics» is a foundational work in which the philosopher explores the nature and principles of the natural world. The book is divided into eight parts, each dedicated to different aspects of physical reality. Aristotle examines concepts such as motion, change, infinity, time, and space. He introduces the concept of four causes (material, formal, efficient, and final) that explain why things exist and change. Aristotle also discusses the nature of the continuum and divisibility, and offers his views on the nature of time as a measure of motion. Overall, «Physics» serves as a basis for understanding natural phenomena and their causal relationships.
