Void in Aristotle’s Physics and in the Greek Philosophical Tradition

The purpose of my project is to write a thorough and exhaustive monograph on the treatment of void in Aristotle and Greek philosophical tradition, accompanied by a philological inquiry into the constitution of the text of the relevant chapters of Aristotle’s Physics (IV 6–9).

In particular, I intend to examine in depth the Aristotelian rebuttal of void and analyse the reasons why his theory was not considered successful by later commentators. Furthermore, I shall investigate the theories of void proposed by other ancient philosophers, both among Aristotle’s predecessors (i.e. Atomists and Pythagoreans) and successors (i.e. Stoics and Epicureans).
