CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aristotle |
 | | Space is neither matter nor form, but the "first and unmoved limit of the containing, as against the contained". |
 | | In his treatment of the notions of motion, space, and time, Aristotle refutes the Eleatic doctrine that real motion, real space, and real succession imply contradictions. |
 | | Following Empedocles Aristotle, also, teaches that all terrestrial bodies are composed of four elements or radical principles, namely: fire, air, earth, and water. |
