Aristotle's Theory Of The Infinite

Aristotle's Theory of the Infinite by Abraham Edel is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of infinity as it was understood by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. The book delves into the various ways in which Aristotle conceptualized the infinite, including his distinction between actual and potential infinity, his views on the infinite divisibility of space and time, and his ideas about the relationship between the infinite and the finite. Edel provides a detailed analysis of Aristotle's texts, drawing on both primary and secondary sources to offer a nuanced understanding of Aristotle's complex and often ambiguous ideas. The book also situates Aristotle's theory of the infinite within the broader context of ancient Greek philosophy and explores its influence on later thinkers such as Galileo and Descartes. Overall, Aristotle's Theory of the Infinite is an illuminating and thought-provoking work that sheds new light on one of the most enduring and fascinating concepts in philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
