The Pseudo-Justin in the history of Aristotelism
Keywords:
Ancient Cosmology, Medieval Cosmology, Eterinty, Movement, HeavensAbstract
Among the four treatises belonging to the Syrian-Christian school of the fifth century and falsely attributed to the apologist Justin, the Confutatio dogmatum quorundam Aristotelis occupies a privileged place. This treatise admits Aristotelian hylemorphism, and it is from this that it rejects other cosmological theses of the Estagirite, such as the primacy of local movement, the eternity of heaven, the impossibility of change in the stars. In this way, even before John Philoponus, he anticipated the criticisms to the Aristotelian system that Galileo would make ten centuries later.
