Simplicius' greatest contribution in his commentary on Aristotle on
Physics 1.5-9 lies in his treatment of matter. The sixth-century
philosopher 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, Simplicius
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. This is the first translation of Simplicius'
important work into English.
