Philoponus was the Christian writer of the 6th century who launched a fierce attack against Aristotelian science. He rejected, among other things, the Aristotelian theory of dynamics, which did not allow for a Creator, replacing it with his own theory of impetus. The introduction of this theory was characterized by Thomas Kuhn as a scientific revolution.

Description & Specifications

Philoponus was the Christian writer of the 6th century who launched a fierce attack against Aristotelian science. He rejected, among other things, the Aristotelian theory of dynamics, which did not allow for a Creator, replacing it with his own theory of impetus. The introduction of this theory was characterized by Thomas Kuhn as a scientific revolution.

For his unorthodox views on the Trinity, Philoponus was condemned by the Church. In the Latin West, he re-emerged only in the 13th century when some of his ideas became known either through direct translation or through the filter of Arabic sources. The translation of all his commentaries in the 16th century helped to articulate the reaction against Aristotelian thought and led to the scientific revolution of the 17th century, as introduced by thinkers like Galileo, Descartes, and Newton.

This collection of articles, written by renowned historians of philosophy, is the first broader approach to Philoponus and his influence. The Greek edition includes two texts by Philoponus in an appendix from his commentary on Aristotle's "Physics": the digression on place ("In Physics" 557,8-585,4) and the digression on the void ("In Physics" 675,2-695,8).
