For, as we said, there are some who make it one of the stars, and others who, setting it at the centre, suppose it to be \u2018rolled\u2019 and in motion about the pole as axis. That both views are untenable will be clear if we take as our starting-point the fact that the earth\u2019s motion, whether the earth be at the centre or away from it, must needs be a constrained motion.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"Aristotle: On The Hevens: Book II: Chapter 14","tradition":"Sacred Texts: The Classics","translated_text":null,"word_count":1704}
