Overview
Space, Time, Matter, and Form collects ten of David Bostock's essays on themes from Aristotle's Physics, four of them published here for the first time. The first five papers look at issues raised in the first two books of the Physics, centered on notions of matter and form; the latter five examine themes in the remaining books, including infinity, place, time, and continuity. Bostock's many insights will be welcomed by all scholars of ancient philosophy.
