In this volume Simplicius deals with Aristotle's account of the
Presocratics, and for many of them he is our chief or even sole
authority. He quotes at length from "Melissus," "Parmenides" and
"Zeno, " sometimes from their original works but also from later
writers from Plato onwards, drawing particularly on Alexander's
lost commentary on Aristotle's "Physics" and on "Porphyry." Much of
his approach is just scholarly, but in places he reveals his
Neoplatonist affiliation and attempts to show the basic agreement
among his predecessors in spite of their apparent differences.This
volume, part of the groundbreaking "Ancient Commentators on
Aristotle" series, translates into English for the first time
Simplicius' commentary, and includes a detailed introduction,
extensive explanatory notes and a bibliography.
