Aristotle's Physics is the only complete and coherent book we have from the ancient world in which a thinker of the first rank seeks to say something about nature as a whole. (bibliovault.org)
Yet existing translations of Aristotle's Physics have made it difficult to understand either Aristotle's originality or the lasting value of his work. (bibliovault.org)
But, contra Plato, Aristotle attempts to resolve a philosophical quandary that was well understood in the fourth century. (wikipedia.org)
Plato and Aristotle called him the inventor of the dialectic . (wikipedia.org)
while Plato speaks of him with veneration, and Aristotle and others give him an unqualified preference over the rest of the Eleatics. (wikipedia.org)
In contrast to the statement above, especially Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC), a pupil of Plato, contributed some very important positions concerning the numerical notion of zero and to the result of division by zero. (scirp.org)
The three greatest ancient Greek philosophers were Aristotle, Plato , who was a teacher of Aristotle, and Socrates (c. 470-399 BC), whose thinking deeply influenced Plato. (kids.net.au)
The writings of Plato and Aristotle form the core of Ancient philosophy . (kids.net.au)
Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. (getty.edu)
Philosopher3
Latin: Physica, or Naturales Auscultationes, possibly meaning "lectures on nature") is a named text, written in ancient Greek, collated from a collection of surviving manuscripts known as the Corpus Aristotelicum, attributed to the 4th-century BC philosopher Aristotle. (wikipedia.org)
Aristotle was one of those famous Greek philosophers - and that means he was a philosopher and not a scientist? (medium.com)
Aristotle , in most languages other than English known as Aristoteles , ( 384 BC - March 7 , 322 BC ) was a Greek philosopher . (kids.net.au)
Thessaloniki1
All procedures detailed in the present investigation were performed in accordance with the protocol outlined by the Ethics Committee of the School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (Protocol 280/ 25.01.2012), regarding the recommended Standard Practices for Biological Investigations in extracted human teeth. (bvsalud.org)
Greek1
Aristotle uses the following force-motion rule (I'm going to paraphrase this since I can't write in Greek). (medium.com)
Albert Einstein2
The official story goes this way: Albert Einstein, a young clerk in a Swiss patent office, single-handedly transformed physics from a static, three-dimensional science to a four-dimensional, mind-blowing, time-space universe via brilliant and solitary "thought experiments" involving gravity, motion, space and time. (theoccidentalobserver.net)
As a young man, Albert Einstein was not only living in a time of explosive growth in the science of theoretical physics, but his specialized employment as a physicist in a Swiss patent office gave him unique access to emerging scientific discoveries. (theoccidentalobserver.net)
Subjects1
A*AA-AAA including both maths and physics with at least one of these subjects achieving an A*. For example, A* maths, A physics or A* physics, A maths. (nottingham.ac.uk)

Principles1
The Eudoxian planetary model sufficed for the wandering stars, but no deduction of terrestrial substance would be forthcoming based solely on the mechanical principles of necessity, (ascribed by Aristotle to material causation in chapter 9). (wikipedia.org)
Contrast1
Aristotle, by contrast, placed much more value on knowledge gained from the senses, and would correspondingly be better classed among modern empiricists (see materialism and empiricism ). (kids.net.au)
Philosophy4
And each of them inspired Aristotle in one way or another to raise objections to the accepted opinions in the realm of natural philosophy (which he did in the form of aporiai or 'doubts'), out of which his own system of natural philosophy then arose. (universiteitleiden.nl)
Today, the division of zero by zero (0/0) is a concept in philosophy, mathematics and physics without a definite solution. (scirp.org)
Indeed, the views of Aristotle became the dogma of scholastic philosophy. (kids.net.au)
The Department adheres to a realist philosophy of mathematics, that originated with Aristotle and has been develop by such scholars as Aquinas, Maritan, Apostle, and Franklin. (christendom.edu)
Roots1
To understand the intellectual assumptions of a powerful world view-and the roots of the Scientific Revolution-reading Aristotle is critical. (bibliovault.org)
Nature6
Aristotle contrasts two senses of nature: nature as matter and nature as form or definition. (wikipedia.org)
By "nature", Aristotle means the natures of particular things and would perhaps be better translated "a nature. (wikipedia.org)
Thanks to Sachs's superb guidance, the Physics comes alive as a profound dialectical inquiry whose insights into the enduring questions about nature, cause, change, time, and the 'infinite' are still pertinent today. (bibliovault.org)
With that in mind, Aristotle came up with some "rules" about the way nature works. (medium.com)
There, Aristotle argues that up to four causes are involved in the explanation of natural phenomena, and that the task of the student of nature is to bring the why-question back to them all. (nd.edu)
Atheists reject physics, motion, time, and causality which is the opposite of logic and science. (sciforums.com)
Concepts1
After completion of the course (summative up to 20%): Written examination on problem solving and Design teaching concepts of Physics. (auth.gr)
Passage2
In this note I will defend the correct understanding of a passage (Physics I 7, 190a31-34) that has been largely misunderstood by many modern commentators. (lucatorrente.com)
At the beginning I will give my translation of the passage in question and some information about the context of Physics I 7. (lucatorrente.com)
He suggests that this precept is a direct answer to the question introduced at the outset of the investigation, where Aristotle wonders whether we should engage in a separate study of each of the different kinds of animals, or whether we should begin with a study of the attributes that are common to many kinds of animals (639a16-19). (nd.edu)
I study physics at the Freie Universität Berlin and would like to go abroad for a semester. (fu-berlin.de)
I am studying physics abroad and would like to study at Freie Universität Berlin for one or two semesters. (fu-berlin.de)
This period saw a rise in the study of mathematics, optics, physics, biology, and the development and propagation of hybrid flowers as scientific and economic pursuits. (cdc.gov)
Categories1
Secondly, I will give an account of the language categories of "coming to be" and I will show that Physics I 7, 190a31-34 continues in all respects this linguistic analysis. (lucatorrente.com)
Notion1
This notion, and the rest of the cosmology of Aristotle, collapsed upon the invention of the telescope. (crosswalk.com)
Objects1
What did Aristotle say about heavy and light objects (he was wrong)? (studystack.com)
Views1
Second, showing why Aristotle thinks ethics can never be fully assimilated to the model of science will help shed new light on his views about the limits of science. (cambridge.org)
Science2
A General Physics course with lab may be substituted for one of the latter if a grade of at least C- is earned and it is not used to satisfy the core science requirement. (christendom.edu)
Aristotle contrasts natural things with the artificial: artificial things can move also, but they move according to what they are made of, not according to what they are. (wikipedia.org)
Book2
For the first example, let's return to PA I. It is indisputable that this book builds on some of the results reached in Physics II. (nd.edu)
Plutarch's book was mostly concerned with addressing problems with the pseudo-scientific, Earth-centered notions of Aristotle. (crosswalk.com)
Kinds1
In PA I, Aristotle presupposes that there are four kinds of cause (what we call the formal, the final, the efficient, and the material cause). (nd.edu)
The works of Aristotle that still exist today are in treatise form and were, for the most part, unpublished texts. (kids.net.au)
Version1
This talk will focus on two aspects: the general importance of the Physics as a document in our own time and more specifically, the importance of the Arabic version of the Physics and its marginalia in solving some issues regarding the text and/or the meaning of the Physics . (universiteitleiden.nl)
Question1
But where does Aristotle argue for the existence of a plurality of answers to the why-question? (nd.edu)
Students4
The aims of the course are to provide students with instructional designing skills and be able to implement and evaluate lessons of Physics. (auth.gr)
Students can choose a physics topic, which they analyze and present to their classmates and subsequent discussion in the selection of teaching aids and methods to support teaching, in designing and development of instructional media and experiments, in designing and implementing of educational activities and lesson's plan, in developing worksheet, in reflection and in evaluation and self-evaluation. (auth.gr)
A course grade of at least C- is necessary in a math course to fulfill the department's requirements for a major or minor, and students must demonstrate competency in physics by receiving a passing grade (D or above) in SCIE 204 and SCIE 205, along with their lab components. (christendom.edu)
We motivate physics students to go abroad already during their bachelor studies, e.g. for an exchange semester or an internship. (fu-berlin.de)
Time1
Moreover, Aristotle himself explicitly stated the impossibility of the division by zero just about fifteen hundred years before the time of Bhaskara. (scirp.org)
Case1
If anything of the sort is true, then the only other possible candidate would be Aristotle, and in his case it might be more literally true, given the number of commentaries devoted to his work. (kids.net.au)
Develop1
Thus, Aristotle set the stage for what would eventually develop into the scientific method centuries later. (kids.net.au)
Wrong1
And it turns out that most people agree with Aristotle's ideas of physics - even though they are mostly wrong. (medium.com)
Eight books1
The Physics is composed of eight books, which are further divided into chapters. (wikipedia.org)
Courses1
Yet here we are - still talking about these two humans in our introductory physics courses. (medium.com)
