  • Simplicius
    Peter Lautner / Simplicius / J. O. Urmson
    Aristotle’s Physics Book 3 covers two subjects: the definition of change and the finitude of the universe. Change enters into the very definition of nature as an internal source of change. Change receives two definitions in chapters 1 and 2, as involving the actualisation of the potential or of the changeable. Alexander of Aphrodisias is reported as thinking that the second ver...

  • Simplicius
    Simplicius / Ian Mueller
    Aristotle believed that the outermost stars are carried round us on a transparent sphere. There are directions in the universe and a preferred direction of rotation. The sun moon and planets are carried on different revolving spheres. The spheres and celestial bodies are composed of an everlasting fifth element, which has none of the ordinary contrary properties like heat and c...

  • Simplicius
    Simplicius / R. J. Hankinson
    Aristotle argues in On the Heavens 1.5-7 that there can be no infinitely large body, and in 1.8-9 that there cannot be more than one physical world. As a corollary in 1.9, he infers that there is no place, vacuum or time beyond the outermost stars. As one argument in favour of a single world, he argues that his four elements: earth, air, fire and water, have only one natural de...

  • Simplicius
    Simplicius / Jim Hankinson
    In chapter 1 of On the Heavens Aristotle defines body, and then notoriously ruptures dynamics by introducing a fifth element, beyond Plato’s four, to explain the rotation of the heavens, which, like nearly all Greeks, Aristotle took to be real, not apparent. Even a member of his school, Xenarchus, we are told, rejected his fifth element. The Neoplatonist Simplicius seeks to har...

  • Simplicius
    Simplicius / Michael Chase
    Simplicius’ commentary on Aristotle’s Categories is the most comprehensive philosophical critique of the work ever written, representing 600 years of criticism. In his Categories, Aristotle divides what exists in the sensible world into ten categories of Substance, Quantity, Relative, Quality and so on. Simplicius starts with a survey of previous commentators, and an introducto...

  • Simplicius
    Simplicius / R. J. Hankinson
    In the three chapters of On the Heavens dealt with in this volume, Aristotle argues that the universe is ungenerated and indestructible. In Simplicius’ commentary, translated here, we see a battle royal between the Neoplatonist Simplicius and the Aristotelian Alexander, whose lost commentary on Aristotle’s On the Heavens Simplicius partly preserves. Simplicius’ rival, the Chris...

    Simplicius / Ian Mueller
    This is the first English translation of Simplicius’ responses to Philoponus’ Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World. The commentary is published in two volumes: Ian Mueller’s previous book in the series, Simplicius: On Aristotle On the Heavens 1.2-3, and this book on 1.3-4. Philoponus, the Christian, had argued that Aristotle’s arguments do not succeed. For all they s...

    Simplicius / Ian Mueller
    One of the arguments in Aristotle’s On the Heavens propounds that the world neither came to be nor will perish. This volume contains the pagan Neoplatonist Simplicius of Cilicia’s commentary on the first part of this this important work. The commentary is notable and unusual because Simplicius includes in his discussion lengthy representations of the Christian John Philoponus...

  • Simplicius
    Simplicius / Ian Mueller
    The subject of Aristotle’s On the Heavens, Books 3-4, is the four elements of earth, air, fire and water, which exist below the heavens. Book 3, in chapters 1 to 7, frequently criticizes the Presocratic philosophers. Because of this, Simplicius’ commentary is one of our main sources of quotations of the Presocratics. Ian Mueller’s translation of this commentary gains added impo...

  • Simplicius
    Simplicius / C. C. W. Taylor / Pamela M. Huby
    In this volume Simplicius deals with Aristotle’s account of the Presocratics, and for many of them he is our chief or even sole authority. He quotes at length from Melissus, Parmenides and Zeno, sometimes from their original works but also from later writers from Plato onwards, drawing particularly on Alexander’s lost commentary on Aristotle’s Physics and on Porphyry. Much of h...

  • Simplicius
    Simplicius / Ian Mueller
    Commenting on the end of Aristotle’s On the Heavens Book 3, Simplicius examines Aristotle’s criticisms of Plato’s theory of elemental chemistry in the Timaeus. Plato makes the characteristics of the four elements depend on the shapes of component corpuscles and ultimately on the arrangement of the triangles which compose them. Simplicius preserves and criticizes the contributio...
