Philoponus rejects Aristotle's attack on the very idea of void and of the possibility of motion in it, even though he thinks that void never occurs in fact. Philoponus' argument was later to be praised by Galileo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains the first English translation of Philoponus' commentary, as well as a detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes and a bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Huby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472539168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472539168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.31d","brand":"Pamela Huby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190778130687,"sku":"9781472539168","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee4c8b5f-dab7-4d84-beda-042e3078c3dc.jpg?v=1690872310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philoponus-pamela-huby-9781472539168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
