This remarkable work offers a unique perspective on the universe, God, and their intricate relationship, drawing inspiration from Aristotle's ideas yet penned by a subsequent author. The author begins by providing an overview of cosmology, geography, and meteorology, ultimately arguing that a comprehensive understanding of the cosmos cannot be attained without a profound comprehension of God as its ultimate source. To achieve this, the author presents a series of twelve carefully crafted interlocking analogies, skillfully building a intricate and captivating mental image in the reader's mind. Throughout the work, the author adheres to an Aristotelian framework, portraying God and the cosmos in a manner that pays homage to pre-Aristotelian philosophers while avoiding direct criticism of rival philosophical schools. De mundo exerted a significant influence in late antiquity, and its impact continued to resonate throughout the Renaissance and Early Modern periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 372g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 227 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108819855\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095067226362,"sku":"9781108819855","price":30.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1648817307820_book.jpg?v=1648922253","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/pseudoaristotle-de-mundo-on-the-cosmos-a-commentary-9781108819855","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
