| Description | The article addresses the question, why does the sun shine and warm? And seeks to answer it within the framework of the extant Xenophanes fragments. As it turns out, Xenophanes was working with a certain (characteristic) conception of the sun (in his case - suns). The author of the article elaborates on this conception and tries to deduce from it how Xenophanes explained that the sun shines and warms. The article is one of a series of articles linked together entitled "Why Does the Sun Shine and Warm?" |
