  • Philoponus
    Philoponus / William Charlton
    In this, one of the most original ancient texts on sense perception, Philoponus, the sixth century AD commentator on Aristotle, considers how far perceptual processes are incorporeal.

    An analysis of the current (February 2009) status and future potential of India’s nuclear fuel cycle is presented in this book. Such a fuel cycle assessment is important, but relatively opaque because India regards various aspects of its nuclear fuel cycle as strategically sensitive. Any study therefore necessarily depends upon reverse calculations based on the information that...

    In the first two books of the Physics Aristotle discusses philosophical issues involved in the investigation of the physical universe.
