Aristotle's "Physics" 1.4-9 explores a range of questions about the
basic structure of reality, the nature of prime matter, the
principles of change, the relation between form and matter, and the
issue of whether things can come into being out of nothing, and if
so, in what sense that is true. Philoponus' commentaries do not
merely report and explain Aristotle and the other thinkers whom
Aristotle is discussing. They are also the philosophical work of an
independent thinker in the Neoplatonic tradition. Philoponus has
his own, occasionally idiosyncratic, views on a number of important
issues, and he sometimes disagrees with other teachers whose views
he has encountered perhaps in written texts and in oral delivery. A
number of distinctive passages of philosophical importance occur in
this part of Book 1, in which we see Philoponus at work on issues
in physics and cosmology, as well as logic and metaphysics. This
volume contains an English translation of Philoponus' commentary,
as well as a detailed introduction, commentary notes and a
bibliography.
