Botteri, Gerardo, author. The astronomical system of Aristotle : an interpretation / by Gerardo Botteri, Roberto Casazza ; translation by Agustina Casero, María Sara Loose ; revision and edition by Jillian Tomm. BRILL, 2023 "Many have heard of Aristotle's First Unmoved Mover, the one that moves all things without being moved. Very few, however, have managed to capture the ultimate meaning of that entity. Explaining why it is necessary the existence of such a First Unmoved Mover is one of the goals of this book, but, even more, its journey allows us to understand why Aristotle maintained that there are a total of 55 Unmoved Movers, not just one. The key is Aristotelian astronomy, little studied so far in comparison with other aspects of his thought. In this solid piece of research and free philosophical speculation that Botteri & Casazza offer us, the authors' gaze raised to the sky-by means of the naked-eye analysis of celestial movements-leads to the reconstruction of Aristotle's astronomical system, key to understanding his cosmology, his physics, and even his metaphysics. A friendly book, in which the reader celebrates page after page the magnificent explanatory graphics. A book matured, coherent, creative, and intense, which should not be missing in any philosophical library. This book is a revised English translation from the original Spanish publication El sistema astronómico de Aristoteles: Una interpretación, published by Ediciones Biblioteca Nacional, Buenos Aires, 2015"-- Provided by publisher. Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. Astronomy, Greek. Celestial mechanics Early works to 1800. Aristotle Criticism and interpretation. 90-04-52552-1 Casazza, Roberto, author. |
