In his commentary on a portion of Aristotle's de Anima (On the
Soul) known as de Intellectu (On the Intellect), Philoponus drew on
both Christian and Neoplatonic traditions as he reinterpreted
Aristotle's views on such key questions as the immortality of the
soul, the role of images in thought, the character of sense
perception and the presence within the soul of universals. Although
it is one of the richest and most interesting of the ancient works
on Aristotle, Philoponus' commentary has survived only in William
of Moerbeke's thirteenth-century Latin translation from a partly
indecipherable Greek manuscript. The present version, the first
translation into English, is based upon William Charlton's
penetrating scholarly analysis of Moerbeke's text.
