The present age may disbelieve in Aristotle's astronomical theories, but is also rejects Newtonian physics as definitive answers to scientific inquiry. Yet scientific progress does not diminish the value of previous contributions, for, as it is well said, we stand on the shoulders of giants. Such works as the \u003ci\u003ePhysics\u003c\/i\u003e are the eternal possessions of mankind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present translation of the \u003ci\u003ePhysics, \u003c\/i\u003e which is the work of both a philosopher and a classical scholar, was first used in manuscript form in a seminar on Aristotle at Columbia University. According to the translator, Professor Richard Hope, it has been \"planned especially for the benefit of college and graduate students of philosophy. Instead of aiming at a literal reproduction of Aristotle's words and sentences, this version undertakes to present his ideas as we would express them, yet with as much fidelity to his text as the exigencies of a clear English rendering will allow.\" The translation also includes an analytical index which is in itself an invaluable piece of scholarly work. By reference to key numbers in the translation, the reader may readily determine the Greek terms which are being paraphrased.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the time of his death in 1955, Professor Richard Hope was Chairman of the Department of Classics at the University of Pittsburgh, on who faculty he had served since 1930.
