Publisher's Synopsis
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.
