This volume offers a new translation of the Neoplatonist philosopher Simplicius' commentary on the chapters concerning place and time in Aristotle's Physics, Book Four. Written after the closing of the Athenian Neoplatonist school in A. D. 529, the commentary clarifies the structure and meaning of Aristotle's arguments and provides a rich account of 800 years of interpretation Surprisingly, in the first five chapters of Book Four Aristotle shows place astwo-dimensional: one's place is the two-dimensional inner surface of one's surroundings. He also suggests that theupward motion of air and fire and the downward motion of earth and water are partly explained by the naturalplaces to which they tend. Place thus has power (dunamis) of its own. In his last five chapters, Aristotle argues that iftime did not entail change its passage would be undetectable, and that time by definition countable, requires theexistence of conscious beings to do the counting. Among the many relevant views that Simplicius records are thoseof Galen, who attacks this claim, and of Eudemus, who rebuts the Pythagorean theory that history will repeat itselfexactly. J. O. Urmson's translation serves as a companion to his earlier translation of the Corollaries on Placeand Time (see jacket back) , in which Simplicius sets forth his own views as distinct from those of Aristotle. A major sourcebook for the interpretation of Aristotle, this volume will be welcomed by scholars and students in the fields of classics, ancient philosophy, ancient history, and medieval studies J. O. Urmson is Emeritus Professor at Stanford University and Emeritus Fellow of Corpus Christi College Oxford.
