Abstract

Aristotle is generally studied as being the phylosopher whose ideas, at least in what regards its Natural Phylosophy, were largely overcome by the Physics of the end of the Medium Ages, by natural phylosophers such as Buridan, Galileu, Kepler, Copernicus and many others. In this brief paper, I present another Aristotle: the one that set forth the seminal orgins of Physics and, with that, defined its semantic field of possibilities which, despite still wide, remains tightly linked to its milestone concepts.
