User:Writersbookclub/The Philosophy of the Cosmos/the Divisions of the Cosmos

The Philosophy of the Cosmos begins with an interesting account and classification of the things that constitute the universe. The constitutive things of the universe are classified into different categories on the basis of their general attribute. The categories mentioned in the book are the abstract, the material and the real. The general attribute of things in each category are incorporeality, inertia and change respectively. For example, things belonging to the category of the abstract are spirit, soul, air, mind; water, rocks, fossils for the material and the sun, moon, clouds for the real. The book also delineates the structure of the cosmos based on these categories. /Sandbox
