For the first time in English, it presents key elements of his commentary on Aristotle's \u003ci\u003ePhysics\u003c\/i\u003e both through interpretive analysis and edited texts.\u003cbr\u003e The main interpretive claim is that Blasius is an early mechanical philosopher. It shows this by studying six carefully selected aspects of his physics. These six aspects are Blasius' (1) use of mechanics (science of weights), (2) analysis of causality, (3) account of motion, (4) analysis of rarefaction and condensation, (5) view of artifacts, and (6) the use of a new analytical language in physics.\u003cbr\u003e Authors of the interpretive essays are Erik Åkerlund, Joël Biard, Henrik Lagerlund, and Sylvain Roudaut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henrik Lagerlund,Sylvain Roudaut,Erik Åkerlund\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004734279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004734272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 0.75d","brand":"Henrik Lagerlund","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579938029823,"sku":"9789004734272","price":141.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a814b265-ad04-4fda-adf5-0eb036c75a76.jpg?v=1763877700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mechanization-of-nature-henrik-lagerlund-9789004734272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
