Plato’s Doctrine Respecting The Rotation Of The Earth, And Aristotle’s Comment Upon That Doctrine is a book published in 1860 that explores the ancient Greek philosophers’ views on the movement of the Earth. The book begins with an introduction to the historical context of the debate surrounding the Earth’s rotation, including the contributions of earlier philosophers such as Pythagoras and Parmenides.The main focus of the book is on Plato’s theory that the Earth rotates on its axis, which he presented in his dialogue Timaeus. The author provides a detailed analysis of Plato’s argument, highlighting the key passages and explaining the reasoning behind them. He also examines the criticisms that have been leveled against Plato’s theory over the years and offers his own perspective on the matter.In the second part of the book, the author turns to Aristotle’s commentary on Plato’s doctrine. Aristotle was a student of Plato’s and his most famous critic, and his views on the rotation of the Earth were quite different from his teacher’s. The author explores Aristotle’s objections to Plato’s theory and provides a detailed analysis of his own arguments.Overall, Plato’s Doctrine Respecting The Rotation Of The Earth, And Aristotle’s Comment Upon That Doctrine is an important work of scholarship that sheds light on the ancient Greek philosophers’ views on a topic that has fascinated scientists and philosophers for centuries. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
