Book two of Aristotle's "Physics" is thought by some to be the most
interesting and representative book in the whole of his corpus. It
explains his conception of nature, of physics as opposed to
mathematics, of causation and explanation, of chance and of purpose
in nature. Simplicius, writing in the 6th century AD, is the most
comprehensive of all the commentators. He reports interpretations
of Aristotle from the preceding 800 years by Eudemus, Posidonius,
Porphyry and Syranius. His accounts of the various definitions of
nature and of chance are highly useful, are as his analyses of
Aristotle's technical terms, per accidens and privation. He often
carries out the project, which Aristotle himself proposed but never
undertook, of putting Aristotle's scientific explanations into
syllogistic form.
