This is the first English translation of Simplicius' responses to
Philoponus' "Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World." The
commentary is published in two volumes: Ian Mueller's previous book
in the series, " Simplicius: On Aristotle On the Heavens 1.2-3,"
and this book on 1.3-4. Philoponus, the Christian, had argued that
Aristotle's arguments do not succeed. For all they show to the
contrary, Christianity may be right that the heavens were brought
into existence by the only divine being and one moment in time, and
will cease to exist at some future moment. Simplicius upholds the
pagan view that the heavens are eternal and divine, and argues that
their eternity is shown by their astronomical movements coupled
with certain principles of Aristotle.Until the launch of this
series, the 15,000 volumes of the ancient Greek commentators on
Aristotle constituted the largest corpus of Greek philosophical
writings which had not been translated into English or other
European languages. There are now over 100 volumes in the series.
