Re: Cosmology
When you google for "Aristotle" + "metaphysics", the first hit is a link to an online version of his Metaphysics book:Billc1 wrote:Can anyone help me with understanding Aristoles' metaphysics when it comes to things? There are "qualities" heat, cold, dry, and moist. These become the elements. And then there's quintessence. I can't seem to find His Metaphysics book anywhere. How do the elements combine? All I know are qualities and elements. And also would anyone understand Platonic and Claudius Ptolemy's cosmology? They seem different but I don't understand Algamest well.

Here's another one: https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/a/aristotle/metaphysics/
A few lines below you find these links:
* Aristotle's Metaphysics: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aris ... taphysics/
* Aristotle: Metaphysics: http://www.iep.utm.edu/aris-met/
In the SEP and the IEP there are also articles on Plato's philosophy.
