In the late Middle Ages, natural philosophy focused primarily on the analysis of Aristotle's works, along with Averroes' commentaries. Among other works, Aristotle's Physics was taught at universities, and commentaries on it were the result of such classes.

The present book is the result of the lectures of Richard Kilvington (ca. 1302-1361), one of the founders of the so-called School of Oxford Calculators, English scholars active in the mid-14th century. The volume contains a critical edition of Richard Kilvington's Questions on the Physics from Latin manuscripts, provided with footnotes referring to the sources used by Kilvington, as well as to the works of his contemporaries. The edition is preceded by an introduction presenting the arguments for the reconstruction of this commentary and the history of the manuscripts containing Kilvington's questions.

This extensive commentary, which the author reconstructed on the basis of manuscript evidence, consists of eight so-called disputed questions. Kilvington discusses almost all the topics covered by Aristotle in his works on natural philosophy and the theory of knowledge, and logical considerations also occupy a considerable space. Kilvington is mainly interested in issues related to: the formation of complex material bodies, which occurs primarily in the process of mixing, the problem of describing the rules of local motion, and the conditions that determine such motion, i.e. the concepts of time, space, and vacuum. Kilvington's commentary is an original, sometimes innovative interpretation of the theories of Aristotle and Averroes. It was quoted many times and was an inspiration for contemporary and later thinkers. The research achievements of these thinkers contributed to the development of modern natural philosophy.
