About this book
Physics by Aristotle invites listeners into the birth of Western natural philosophy, where questions about matter, motion, and time are examined with incisive logic. Written in the 4th century BCE, this foundational non-fiction work of science, nature, and philosophy unpacks core concepts—substance and accident, the infinite, causation, motion, and the nature of time—culminating in Aristotle’s account of the Prime Mover.
Delivered as a series of tightly argued lectures, Aristotle blends empirical observation with metaphysical inquiry, mapping how things change and why they persist. The text situates natural phenomena within a system of four causes and explores how plurality, continuity, and form underpin physical reality. Historically, Physics shaped centuries of scientific and theological thought from late antiquity through the medieval scholastics and into early modern debates, making it a cornerstone of classical (antiquity) studies.
This audiobook is ideal for philosophy students, historians of science, and curious listeners who want to trace the roots of scientific thinking. Clear narration brings Aristotle’s rigorous reasoning to life, offering an essential listen for anyone seeking a deeper, timeless framework for understanding nature and causation.
