The "Supplement" transmitted as the second book of "On the Soul" by
Alexander of Aphrodisias (fl. c. 200 AD) is a collection of short
texts on a wide range of topics from psychology, including the
general hylomorphic account of soul and its faculties, and the
theory of vision; questions in ethics (natural instincts, the unity
of the virtues, the naturalness of justice and the insufficiency of
virtue for happiness); and issues relating to responsibility,
chance and fate. One of the texts in the collection, "On
Intellect", had a major influence on medieval Arabic and Western
thought, greater than that of Alexander's "On the Soul" itself. The
treatises may all be by Alexander himself; certainly the majority
of them are closely connected with his other works. Many of them,
however, consist of collections of arguments on particular issues,
collections which probably incorporate material from earlier in the
history of the Peripatetic school. This translation is from a new
edition of the Greek text based on a collation of all known
manuscripts and comparison with medieval Arabic and Latin
translations.
