Research:
Aristotle’s Concept of Fire
The goal of my research project is an organic reconstruction 1. of Aristotle’s concept of fire, 2. of its relation to hot and heat, from which the former cannot always be easily distinguished, 3. of its proper place in his physics as well as in his cosmology, meteorology, psychology, and biology. Through the analysis of the whole physical section of the Corpus Aristotelicum, different conceptions will be dealt with, e.g. fire as an element, as innate heat, as an exhalation, as process of combustion.
