27. Natural Reality / C. Space / 1. Void

20918	Void is a kind of place, so it can't explain place [Aristotle]
	Full Idea: It is absurd to explain place by the void, as though this latter were not itself some kind of place.
	From: Aristotle (On the Heavens [c.336 BCE], 309b24)
	A reaction: Presumably this is aimed at Democritus.
