This volume completes the translation in this series of Quaestiones
attributed to Alexander of Aphrodisias, the leading ancient
commentator on Aristotle. The Quaestiones are concerned with
physics and metaphysics, psychology and divine providence. They
exemplify the process whereby Aristotle's thought came to be
organised into 'Aristotelianism' and show how interpretations were
influenced by doctrines of Hellenistic philosophy. Some, translated
into Arabic and thence into Latin, played a part in the
transmission of ancient Greek philosophy to the medieval world.
Those interested in Aristotle's psychological views will find this
half of Quaestiones particularly valuable. Ten of the problems
discussed explicitly involve issues raised in On the Soul,
including the unity of apperception and the transition from first
to second actuality in the act of contemplation. A further dozen
concern problems in physical theory, including infinity, necessity
and potentiality. Quaestio 2.21 concerns divine providence and
helps supplement our knowledge of Alexander's position based on
surviving Arabic fragments of his On Providence.
