FIRST EDITION. An Aristotelian analysis of the Creation and of the nature of man. The first part includes discussions of matter, causation, time, the movement of the spheres, the characteristics of angels, etc. Among the questions considered in the second part are the soul versus the body, the human senses and perceptions, dreams and fantasies, the emotions, the intellect, free will, and the possibility of other worlds. "Albert's early identification as a precursor of modern science undoubtedly stemmed from his empiricist methodology, which he learned from Aristotle but which he practiced with a skill unsurpassed by any Schoolman... He stated that evidence based on sense perception is the most secure and is superior to reasoning without experimentation... On the subject of authority, he pointed out that science consists not in simply believing what one is told but in inquiring into the causes of natural things" (DSB).Folio, bound in 19th century marbled paper covered boards.The book measures 22.5cm by 32cm.The contents are lacking 2 leaves, being the title page and table of contents, together with the first and last blank leaf, otherwise complete collation reading: 1-77, [1], 79-194 (Full collation reads:2 dl. ([2], 1-77, [1], 79-195 bl.) Printed in gothic type in double column, margins with sporadic ink annotations in one or two early hands.
