Originally published in 1949, this meticulously researched book presents a comprehensive outline and discussion of Aristotle’s mathematics, along with the author's translations of the Greek. Aristotle considered mathematics as one of the three theoretical sciences, alongside theology and the philosophy of nature (physics). Arranged thematically, this book explores his ideas in relation to other sciences and delves into specific concepts such as squaring the circle, syllogism, parallels, the incommensurability of the diagonal, angles, universal proof, gnomons, infinity, agelessness of the universe, surface of water, meteorology, metaphysics, and mechanics, including levers, rudders, wedges, wheels, and inertia. The last few chapters address ‘problems’ that Aristotle posed but couldn’t answer, ethics issues, and a summary of short treatises that only briefly touch on mathematics.
