Description

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Buchr�cken leicht ausgeblichen, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Spine slightly faded, otherwise perfect condition - The commentary attributed to Simplicius on Aristotle�s On the Soul appears in this series in three volumes, of which this is the first. The translation provides the first opportunity for a wider readership to assess the disputed question of authorship. Is the work by Simplicius, or by his colleague Priscian, or by another commentator? In the second volume, Priscian�s Paraphrase of Theophrastus on Sense Perception, which covers the same subject, will also be translated for comparison. -- Whatever its authorship, the commentary is a major source for late Neoplatonist theories of thought and sense perception and provides considerable insight into this important area of Aristotle�s thought. In this first volume, the Neoplatonist commentator covers the first half of Aristotle�s On the Soul, comprising Aristotle�s survey of his predecessors and his own rival account of the nature of the soul.
