Philoponus' denial that velocity in the void would be infinite anticipated Galileo, as did his denial that speed of fall is proportionate to weight, which Galileo greatly developed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the second document Simplicius attacks a lost treatise of Philoponus which argued for the Christians against the eternity of the world. He exploits Aristotle's concession that the world contains only finite power. Simplicius' presentation of Philoponus' arguments (which may well be tendentious), together with his replies, tell us a good deal about both Philosophers.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45085733322903,"sku":"9781780933740","price":4956.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781780933740.webp?v=1767142859","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/philoponus-corollaries-on-place-and-void-with-simplicius-against-philoponus-on-the-eternity-of-the-world-9781780933740","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
