This book comprises essays on the nature of Aspasius' commentary,
his interpretation of Aristotle, and his own place in the history
of thought. The contributions are in English or Italian. Aspasius'
commentary on the Nicomachean Ethics is the earliest ancient
commentary on Aristotle of which extensive parts survive in their
original form. It is important both for the history of commentary
as a genre and for the history of philosophical thought in the
first two centuries A.D.; it is also still valuable as what its
author intended it to be, an aid in interpreting the Ethics. All
three aspects are explored by the essays. The book is not formally
a commentary on Aspasius' commentary; but between them the essays
consider the interpretation of numerous problematic or significant
passages. Full indices will enable readers quickly to locate
discussion of particular parts of Aspasius' work. This volume of
essays will form a natural complement to the first ever translation
of Aspasius' commentary into any modern language, currently in
preparation by Paul Mercken.
