Aristotle's subject here is time, and his treatment of it had led to controversy in earlier writers. Philoponus does offer novelties when he treats motion round a bend as in one sense faster than motion on the straight over the same distance in the same time, because of the need to consider the greater effort involved. And he points out that in an earlier commentary on Book 8 he had argued against Aristotle for the possibility of a last instant of time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume contains an 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 Philoponus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0715640887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715640883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Philoponus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086781886719,"sku":"9780715640883","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63cc6ceb-7153-435d-b475-c9b22b81139c.jpg?v=1769096543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philoponus-philoponus-9780715640883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
