Plato's Doctrine Respecting The Rotation Of The Earth, And Aristotle's Comment Upon That Doctrine (1860) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Plato's Doctrine Respecting The Rotation Of The Earth, And Aristotle's Comment Upon That Doctrine is a book published in 1860 that examines the views of two ancient Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, on the rotation of the Earth. The book presents Plato's belief that the Earth rotates on its axis and that this movement is responsible for the changing of the seasons and the movement of the stars. It also includes Aristotle's commentary on Plato's theory, in which he disagrees with Plato's view and argues that the Earth is stationary and that the movement of the stars is caused by the rotation of the heavens around the Earth. The book provides a fascinating insight into the differing opinions of two of the most influential philosophers in history and their views on the nature of the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor
The following paper was originally intended as an explanatory note on the Platonic Timaeus, in the work which I am now preparing on Plato and A ristotle. I nterpreting, differently from others, the much debated passage in which Plato describes the cosmical function of theE arth, I found it indispensable to give my reasons for this new view. But I soon discovered that those reasons could not be comprised within the limits of a note. Accordingly I here publish them in a separateD issertation. The manner in which theE arth srotation was conceived, illustrates the scientific character of the Platonic and Aristotelian age, as contrasted with the subsequent development and improvement of astronomy.
