Theophrastus of Eresus was Aristotle's pupil and successor as head
of the Peripatetic School. He is best known as the author of the
amusing Characters and two ground-breaking works in botany, but his
writings extend over the entire range of Hellenistic philosophic
studies. Volume 5 of Rutgers University Studies in Classical
Humanities focuses on his scientific work. The volume contains new
editions of two brief scientific essays-On Fish and
Afeteoro/o^y-accompanied by translations and commentary. Among the
contributions are: "Peripatetic Dialectic in the De sensibus," Han
Baltussen; "Empedocles" Theory of Vision and Theophrastus' De
sensibus," David N. Sedley; "Theophrastus on the Intellect," Daniel
Devereux; "Theophrastus and Aristotle on Animal Intelligence," Eve
Browning Cole; "Physikai doxai and Problemata physika from
Aristotle to Agtius (and Beyond)," Jap Mansfield; "Xenophanes or
Theophrastus? An Aetian Doxographicum on the Sun," David Runia;
"Place1 in Context: On Theophrastus, Fr. 21 and 22 Wimmer," Keimpe
Algra; "The Meteorology of Theophrastus in Syriac and Arabic
Translation," Hans Daiber; "Theophrastus' Meteorology, Aristotle
and Posidonius," Ian G. Kidd; "The Authorship and Sources of the
Peri Semeion Ascribed to Theophrastus," Patrick Cronin;
