- W935474634 abstract "The reading selection included below is comprised of the first several chapters of Book I of the Almagest, translated from Greek by Aaron Jensen. Ptolemy begins in Chap. 1 by explaining the difference between theoretical and practical philosophy. (Where does Ptolemy situate the study of astronomy?) Next, after explaining the outline of the Almagest in Chap. 2, Ptolemy offers a summary of his theory of the heavens and the earth. Thus, Chaps. 3–8 provide a framework for understanding the Almagest as a whole. He argues against those whowould claim that the earth itself is in motion. This, after all, was an ancient opinion espoused by the Pythagoreans but later rejected by Aristotle in his book On the Heavens. The astute reader of the Almagest will recognize many of Aristotle’s arguments and proofs in these chapters. (Can you identify them?)" @default.
