Resumen

Possidônio incorporou significantes conceitos da Física Peripatética em sua teoria. Ele adotou um modelo cosmológico finitista aonde o vácuo extra-cósmico não é infinito, mas vasto como o tamanho do cosmos no momento da conflagração cíclica. Ele aceitou a ideia de que há direções absolutas para onde os elementos tendem a se mover (F 93 E–K). Possidônio concebeu os quatro elementos como interativos, dado o relacionamento de mútua contrariedade e adotou uma abordagem fisicalista aonde os elementos quentes são ativos (F 93, F 101 E K). A análise dos longos fragmentos preservados em ̶Estrabo (F 229 E–K) e Prisciano Lydus (F 219 E–K) ademais mostram a importância do calor como potência ativa na Física de Possidônio.
