Gradual emancipation from Aristotle

from Crescas to Gilbert

Max Jammer

pp. 65-72

Abstract

Crescas' theory of space solved the problem of the outermost sphere: The infinite vacuum provides this sphere with space, so that its eternal rotation becomes a special kind of local motion and the sphere ceases to be the final limit and boundary of space.
