Simplicius, the greatest surviving ancient authority on Aristotle's
"Physics," lived in the sixth century A. D. He produced detailed
commentaries on several of Aristotle's works. Those on the"
Physics," which alone come to over 1,300 pages in the original
Greek, preserve a centuries-old tradition of ancient scholarship on
Aristotle. In "Physics "Book 5 Aristotle lays down some of the
principles of his dynamics and theory of change. What does not
count as change: change of relation? The flux of time? There is no
change of change, yet acceleration is recognised. Aristotle defines
'continuous', 'contact' and 'next', and uses these definitions in
discussing when we can claim that the same change or event is still
going on. This volume is complemented by David Konstan's
translation of Simplicius' commentary on "Physics" Book 6, which
has already appeared in this series. It is Book 6 that gives
spatial application to the terms defined in Book 5, and uses them
to mount a celebrated attack on atomism. Simplicius' commentaries
enrich our understanding of the Physics and of its interpretation
in the ancient world.
