In Physics 8 Aristotle argues for the everlastingness of the world, and explains this as deriving from a single first moved body, the sphere of the stars whose rotation around the earth is caused by an immaterial prime mover. Blyth’s explanation of Aristotle’s individual arguments, techniques of reasoning and overall strategy in Physics 8 aims to bring understanding of his method, doctrines and achievements in natural philosophy to a new level of clarity.Philosophia Antiqua141.Science, AncientPhysicsEarly works to 1800MotionEarly works to 1800Science, Ancient.PhysicsMotion530Blyth Dougal1620762NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910821498903321Aristotle's ever-turning world, in Physics 83953701UNINA
