The Physics is a foundational work of western philosophy, and the crucial one for understanding Aristotle' views on matter, form, essence, causation, movement, space, and time. This richly annotated, scrupulously accurate, and consistent translation makes it available to a contemporary English reader as no other does in part because it fits together seamlessly with other closely associated works in the New Hackett Aristotle series, such as the Metaphysics , De Anima , and forthcoming De Caelo and On Coming to Be and Passing Away . Eventually the series will include all of Aristotle' works. Sequentially numbered endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture, while a detailed Index of Terms indicates places where focused discussion of key notions occurs. An illuminating general Introduction describes the book that lies ahead, explaining what sort of work it is and what sorts of evidence it relies on.
