Description

Simplicius' greatest contribution in his commentary on Aristotle on Physics 1.5-9 lies in his treatment of matter. He starts with a valuable elucidation of what Aristotle means by 'principle' and 'element' in Physics. Simplicius' own conception of matter is of a quantity that is utterly diffuse because of its extreme distance from its source, the Neoplatonic One, and he tries to find this conception both in Plato's account of space and in a stray remark of Aristotle's. Finally, he rejects the Manichaean view that matter is evil and answers a Christian objection that to make matter imperishable is to put it on a level with God. Review [Of the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series] 'A massive scholarly achievement of the highest importance' --The Times About the Author Editor/Translators:Han Baltussen is Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Thought at the University of Adelaide, Australia. Michael Atkinson is a former teacher of Classics at Eton College. Michael Share is Honorary Research Fellow at the School of History & Classics, University of Tasmania.
