Aristotle's Cosmology

Aristotle's Cosmology is a philosophical theory of the natural universe as a finite, hierarchically ordered, geocentric system of concentric spheres in which celestial bodies move with inherent purpose according to their essential natures, distinct from mechanistic or atomistic models by its teleological and qualitative account of cosmic order.
