This is the fourth and last volume of the translation in this
series of the commentary on Aristotle "On" "the" "Soul, " wrongly
attributed to Simplicius. Its real author, most probably Priscian
of Lydia, proves in this work to be an original philosopher who
deserves to be studied, not only because of his detailed
explanation of an often difficult Aristotelian text, but also
because of his own psychological doctrines. In chapter six the
author discusses the objects of the intellect. In chapters seven to
eight he sees Aristotle as moving towards practical intellect, thus
preparing the way for discussing what initiates movement in
chapters nine to 11. His interpretation offers a brilliant
investigation of practical reasoning and of the interaction between
desire and cognition from the level of perception to the intellect.
In the commentator's view, Aristotle in the last chapters (12-13)
investigates the different type of organic bodies corresponding to
the different forms of life (vegetative and sensory, from the most
basic, touch, to the most complex).
