Part of the material contained in the present book was presented in
the form of a lecture course given by me at the University of
Oxford in 1962 as a Fulbright Senior Lecturer. Scripps College and
the Claremont Graduate School contributed to the cost of research
and publication. The staff of the Honnold Library, Claremont,
California, was extremely obliging in matters concerning
inter-library loans. The page proofs were read in part by Professor
Richard Walzer, the University of Oxford. Mr. Salih Alich,
Blaisdell Institute, Claremont, California, corrected many errors
occurring in the transliteration from Arabic in Section V. To all
these institutions and persons I express my most sincere thanks.
The manuscript was essentially completed early in 1960. Scripps
College, Claremont, California. TABLES OF CONTENTS I GENERAL I

OF SECTION II I The starting point: Plotinus, Enn. V I.
The first edition of this book appeared in 1953; the second,
revised and enlarged, in 1960. The present, third edition is
essentially a reprint of the second, except for the correction of a
few misprints and the following remarks, which refer to some recent
publications* and replace the brief preface to the second edition.
Neither Eudemus nor Theophrastus, so I said (p. 208GBP. ) knew a
branch of theoretical philosophy the object of which would be
something called 0'. 1 ~ 0'. 1 andwhich branch wouldbedistinct from
theology. And there is no sign that they found such a branch
(corresponding to what was later called metaphysica generalis) in
Aristotle. To the names of Eudemus and Theophrastus we now can add
that of Nicholas of Damascus. In 1965 H. J. Drossaart Lulofs
published: Nicolaus Damascenus On the Philosophy of Aristotle
(Leiden: Brill), Le. fragments of his m:pr. njc; 'ApLO''t'o't'
qJLAOO'OqJLiXC; preserved in Syriac together with an English trans
lation. In these fragments we find a competent presentation of
Aristotle's theoretical philosophy, in systematic form. Nicholas
subdivides Aristotle's theoretical philosophy into theology,
physics, and mathematics and seems to be completely unaware of any
additional branch of philosophy the object of which would be 0'. 1
~ 0'. 1 distinct from theology with its object (the divine).
