Themistius' treatment of Books 1-3 of Aristotle's Physics presents
central features of Aristotle's thought about principles,
causation, change and infinity. The tradition of synthesising and
epitomising exegesis is here raised to a new level by the
innovative method of paraphrase pioneered by Themistius. Taking a
selective, but telling, account of the earlier Peripatetic and
Presocratic tradition, Themistius creates a framework that can
still be profitably used in the study of Aristotle. This volume
contains the first English translation of Themistius' commentary,
accompanied by a detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes
and a bibliography.

Themistius' treatment of Books 1-3 of Aristotle's "Physics
"presents central features of Aristotle's thought about principles,
causation, change and infinity. The tradition of synthesising and
epitomising exegesis is here raised to a new level by the
innovative method of paraphrase pioneered by Themistius. Taking a
selective, but telling, account of the earlier Peripatetic and
Presocratic tradition, Themistius creates a framework that can
still be profitably used in the study of Aristotle. This volume
contains the first English translation of Themistius' commentary,
accompanied by a detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes
and a bibliography.
Themistius' treatment of Books 5-8 of Aristotle's "Physics" shows
this commentator's capacity to identify, isolate and discuss the
core ideas in Aristotle's account of change, his theory of the
continuum, and his doctrine of the unmoved mover. His paraphrase
offered his ancient students, as they will now offer his modern
readers, an opportunity to encounter central features of
Aristotle's physical theory, synthesized and epitomized in a manner
that has always marked Aristotelian exegesis but was raised to a
new level by the innovative method of paraphrase pioneered by
Themistius. Taking selective but telling accounts of the earlier
Peripatetic tradition (notably Theophrastus and Alexander of
Aphrodisias), this commentator creates a framework that can still
be profitably used by Aristotelian scholars today.
Physics Book 4 is one of Aristotle's most interesting works,
discussing place, time and vacuum. Themistius was a fourth-century
AD orator and essayist, not only a philosopher, and he thought that
only paraphrases of Aristotle were needed, because there were
already such comprehensive commentaries. Nonetheless, his
paraphrastic commentaries are full of innovative comment. According
to Aristotle, there is no such thing as 3-dimensional space. A
thing's exactly-fitting place is a surface, the inner surface of
its immediate surroundings. One problem that this created was that
the outermost stars, in Aristotle's view, have no surroundings, and
so no place. Themistius suggests that we might think instead of the
neighbouring bodies which they surround as providing their place.
Aristotle saw time as something countable, and concluded that it
depends for its existence on that of conscious beings to do the
counting. Themistius is in the minority among commentators in
disagreeing. Themistius concurs with Aristotle in denying the
existence of vacuum. We cannot think that a space formerly empty of
body penetrates right through a body inserted into it. If one
extension could penetrate another, says Themistius, a body could
penetrate a body, because bodies occupy places solely in virtue of
being extended.
