379 Intro| revolution of the world around earth, which is accomplished in
380 Intro| rotation or immobility of the earth. Plato’s doctrine on this
381 Intro| the following words:—‘The earth, which is our nurse, compacted (
382 Intro| by the immobility of the earth in the midst of the circling
383 Intro| doctrine of the rotation of the earth on its axis. On the other
384 Intro| has been urged that if the earth goes round with the outer
385 Intro| the equal motion of the earth and sun would have the effect
386 Intro| Plato never says that the earth goes round with the outer

388 Intro| diurnal rotation of the earth on its axis and the revolution
389 Intro| that the rotation of the earth is necessarily implied in
390 Intro| that the rotation of the earth on its axis and of the sun
391 Intro| outer heavens around the earth in equal times was inconsistent
392 Intro| seen the immobility of the earth to be inconsistent with
393 Intro| on ‘The Rotation of the Earth’) from Aristotle De Coelo,

395 Intro| hypothesis. For in the Phaedo the earth is described as the centre

398 Intro| speak of the rotation of the earth, is more favourable to the

401 Intro| Plato thought that the earth was at rest in the centre

405 Intro| early Pythagoreans, the earth was held to be a body like
406 Intro| many things in heaven and earth which are as well expressed

408 Intro| through air—when water and earth fell downward, they were

426 Text | all the air and all the earth, leaving no part of any
427 Text | in the orbit nearest the earth, and next the sun, in the

450 Text | assigning this figure to earth, we adhere to probability;
451 Text | conclusion is as follows:—earth, when meeting with fire
452 Text | harmonising, again become earth; for they can never take
453 Text | body of air or water or earth, and both are moving, and
