Physics

Written by Aristotle

Narrated by Bruce Lieberman

For many centuries, Aristotle's Physics was the essential starting point for anyone who wished to study the natural sciences. Aristotle deals with many abstract ideas in this book, examining the phenomenon of being, space, motion, matter, time, infinity, magnitude, and more. This book is basically an explanation on how the universe works--as Aristotle understood it. It's not so much a straight forward philosophical text as it is a sort of compendium of problems that philosophers have spent the past several millenniums trying to figure out. As a book of philosophy, it seems more concerned with creating a system where these sorts of questions can be fully articulated and worked on than it is in fully solving any of them.

Aristotle

Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was a Greek philosopher whose works spanned multiple disciplines including math, science and the arts. He spent his formative years in Athens, where he studied under Plato at his famed academy. Once an established scholar, he wrote more than 200 works detailing his views on physics, biology, logic, ethics and more. Due to his undeniable influence, particularly on Western thought, Aristotle, along with Plato and Socrates, is considered one of the great Greek philosophers.

Reviews for Physics

[Andrew Murphy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Really great recording clear and precise. Also a classic text.

[Jonathan Kyser · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Technical read; a series of logical arguments. Need to be undistracted to focus

[Y Woo · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Narrating is good, not the best, read quite fast for quite a complex and analytic book. In Ch 2, at 16:50, there is a complete 40 second pause until 17:30, which is really unusual.
