Abstract

The aim of this work is to discuss two characterizations of διαστάσεις, which are found united in De caelo II 2, and propose, by the end, an interpretation about the principle relation that Aristotle establishes between them. For such, we will scrutinize secondary literature, which deals with such concept, mainly Lennox (2009) and Carabone (2011, 2016).
