Abstract

THE great Oxford version of Aristotle could scarcely have begun to deal with that philosopher's physics and cosmology at a more opportune time than the present. It is only a year or two since Prof. Whitehead, speaking with all the authority that belongs to his utterances on such a subject, warned us that the first explicit beginnings of the “bifurcation” which has infected nearly all subsequent philosophising about Nature and natural science, are explicit in Aristotle, and that the duty of the Naturphilosoph of the present day is to put himself back at the Pythagorean standpoint represented by Plato's “Timaeus ” and study the “passage” of nature with a mind freed from the prejudices begotten of a substance-attribute metaphysic. The Works of Aristotle translated into English. De Caelo, by J. L. Stocks.; De Generatione et Corruptione, by Harold H. Joachim. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1922.) 10s. net.
