Description
Joseph Bobik offers a translation of Aquinasās De Principiis Naturae (circa 1252) and De Mixtione Elementorum (1273) accompanied by a continuous commentary, followed by two essays: āElements in the Composition of Physical Substancesā and āThe Elements in Aquinas and the Elements Today.ā The Principles of Nature introduces the reader to the basic Aristotelian principles such as matter and form, the four causes so fundamental to Aquinasās philosophy. On Mixture of the Elements examines the question of how the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) remain within the physical things composed from them.
