Aristotles's Physics : A Guided Study

"Sachs's translation and commentary rescue Aristotle's text from the rigid, pedantic, and misleading versions that have until now obscured his thought.

Banyak buku filsafat sains yang menyajikan deretan filsuf dan gagasan umumnya, tetapi gagal membangun karakter ilmiah dan intelektualitas pembacanya. Buku ini menanamkan karakter, k…
