Summary

This important study of ancient theories about matter, space and motion and their sequels concludes Richard Sorabji's three-part inquiry into ancient Greek physics and metaphysics.

Summary

The nature of matter was as intriguing a question for ancient philosophers as it is for contemporary physicists, and Matter, Space, and Motion presents a fresh and illuminating account of the rich legacy of the physical theories of the Greeks from the fifth century B.C. to the late sixth century A.D.
