Informationen zum Autor R.J. Hankinson is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin! USA. His translations of Simplicius: On Aristotle On the Heavens 1.1-4 and Simplicius: On Aristotle On the Heavens 1.5-9 are also available in the series. A translation of Simplicius' philosophical commentary on Aristotle's On the Heavens 1.10-12, with extensive commentary notes, introduction and indexes. Zusammenfassung In the three chapters of On the Heavens dealt with in this volume, Aristotle argues that the universe is ungenerated and indestructible. In Simplicius' commentary, translated here, we see a battle royal between the Neoplatonist Simplicius and the Aristotelian Alexander, whose lost commentary on Aristotle's On the Heavens Simplicius partly preserves. Simplicius' rival, the Christian Philoponus, had conducted a parallel battle in his Against Proclus but had taken the side of Alexander against Proclus and other Platonists, arguing that Plato's Timaeus gives a beginning to the universe. Simplicius takes the Platonist side, denying that Plato intended a beginning. The origin to which Plato refers is, according to Simplicius, not a temporal origin, but the divine cause that produces the world without beginning.
