""Physics"" is a comprehensive work by Aristotle, one of the most influential philosophers and scientists of ancient Greece. In this book, Aristotle explores the fundamental principles that govern the natural world, including the concepts of motion, space, time, and causality. He also examines the properties of matter and the different types of motion, such as natural motion, violent motion, and circular motion. Aristotle's approach to physics is deeply rooted in his philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of observation and empirical evidence. He believed that the best way to understand the natural world was to carefully observe it and draw conclusions based on those observations. Throughout the book, Aristotle engages in a dialogue with other philosophers and scientists of his time, as well as with his own students. He presents a number of different theories and hypotheses, and evaluates them based on their logical consistency and their ability to explain observed phenomena. ""Physics"" is a foundational work in the history of science, and it has influenced the development of physics and other natural sciences for centuries. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, philosophy, or physics.Again, does it follow that Being, if one, is motionless? Why should it not move, the whole of it within itself, as parts of it do which are unities, e.g. this water? Again, why is qualitative change impossible? But, further, Being cannot be one in form, though it may be in what it is made of. (Even some of the physicists hold it to be one in the latter way, though not in the former.) Man obviously differs from horse in form, and contraries from each other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

I bought this same company's edition of Aristotle's metaphysics and was not disappointed, so I wanted to dig a little deeper into the subject of Aristotle's philosophy with the physics with the translation by the same company. There you go.
