Petric's Objections to Aristotle's Notion of the Continuum

The second book of Pancosmia provides full insight into Petric's view of the continuum or de divisibilitate quantitatis, offering us many details on Petric's futile strategy in refuting Aristotle's notions of the continuum and the potential infinite. In his objections to Aristotle, Petric implicitly points the major contributions of Aristotle's doctrine of continuum, but also submits his own solutions such as the idea of the minimal indivisible line. Although his solutions failed to bring him the results as brilliant as those of Aristotle with the notion of the continuum in the interpretation of nature and mathematics, within his polemic with Aristotle, Petric comes forward with new questions dealing with the calculus of infinite quantities and genealogy of science.
