Aristotle's physics: a naive construct?

In this work we make a brief exposition on Aristotle's physics. We show how aristotelic science constitutes a complex export towards a rational understanding of material reality, completely integrated to an organic and comprehensive thought. We intended to show, above all, how physical and cosmological aristotelic elements come from philosophical tenets as much as from empirical observations characteristic of human experience belonging to that historic-cultural moment.
