Aristotle's Immaterial Mover and the Problem of Location in "Physics" VIII
Review of Metaphysics 35 (2):321 - 335 (1981)
Abstract
IN Physics VIII, 10, Aristotle seems to commit a serious mistake: just before concluding that the first mover required by all motion everywhere remains invariable and without parts or magnitude, Aristotle apparently locates this mover on the circumference of the cosmos.My notes
