Physics (Hackett Publishing)
by Aristotle
⇥ As a step toward determining which of these two alternatives holds, we need to grasp what the name "void" signifies. A void, then, seems to be a place with nothing in it. The cause of this is that people think that to be is to be a body, that every body is in a place, and that a void is a place in which there is no body, so that if there is no body somewhere, then there is nothing there. Moreover, they think that every body is tangible, and that whatever has heaviness or lightness is of this sort. It follows by deduction, then, that a void is what there is nothing heavy or light in. These things, then, as we said before, follow by deduction. It is absurd, then, to ask whether a point is a void, since a void must be a place within which there is an extended space for a tangible body.🏁
