A física de Aristóteles: Uma construção ingênua?

Abstract

In this work we make a brief exposition on Aristotle's physics. We show how aristotelic science constitutes a complex effort towards a rational understanding of material reality, completely integrated to an organic and comprehensive thought. We intended to show, above all, how physical and cosmological aristotelic elements come from philosophical tenets as much as from empirical observations characteristic of human experience belonging to that historic-cultural moment. © by the Sociedade Brasileira de Fsíca.
