ABSTRACT
This runs simply:
If everything that exists has a place, that place too will have a place, and that place too will have to have one, and so on ad infinitum.
Aristotle expands on the issue in Physics (section 20) thus:The Physicist must have a knowledge of place, as well as of the infinite namely whether there is such a thing or not, and the manner of its existence and what it is – both because all suppose that things which exist are somewhere for the non-existent is nowhere – where is the goat-stag or the sphinx? – and because motion in its most general and proper sense is change of place.
