Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. Most of the minor texts attributed to Alexa…nder of Aphrodisias were organized into collections in antiquity. Three books of the collected works, which are characterized as "school-discussion problems and solutions on nature," are commonly cited as Alexander's Quaestiones. The first book of the Quaestiones and the first half of the second book, here translate are concerned with physics metaphysics, psychology, divine providence inspired by discussions of Aristotle's works among Alexander and associates of his, the Quaestiones illuminate the functioning of a philosophical school in the early third century A. D. In their emphasis on resolving apparent anomalies and contradictions, they exemplity the process by which Aristotle's thought came to be regarded as "Aristotelianism," andthey reveal the influence of the doctrines of Hellenistic philosophy The translation of some of these first into Arabic and then into Latin played an important role in the transmission of ancient Greek philosophy to the medieval world. Of more than historical interest, Alexander's Quaestiones cast light on Aristotle's views on such issues as the problemofuniversals and the relation between form and matter. The Quaestiones have received increasing attention in recent years this volume, along with its projected sequel, will make all of the text available for the first time in a modern language. Students and scholars in the fields of ancient philosophy classics, and medieval studies will warmly welcome it E-143; Ancient Commentators on Aristotle; 9.20 X 6.20 X 0.30 inches; 192 pages.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Cornell University Press. 1994. 212 pgs. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. This volume completes the translation in t…his series of Quaestiones attributed to Alexander of Aphrodisias, the leading ancient commentator on Aristotle. The Quaestiones are concerned with physics and metaphysics, psychology and divine providence. They exemplify the process whereby Aristotle's thought came to be organised into 'Aristotelianism' and show how interpretations were influenced by doctrines of Hellenistic philosophy. Some, translated into Arabic and thence into Latin, played a part in the transmission of ancient Greek philosophy to the medieval world. Those interested in Aristotle's psychological views will find this half of Quaestiones particularly valuable. Ten of the problems discussed explicitly involve issues raised in On the Soul, including the unity of apperception and the transition from first to second actuality in the act of contemplation. A further dozen concern problems in physical theory, including infinity, necessity and potentiality. Quaestio 2.21 concerns divine providence and helps supplement our knowledge of Alexander's position based on surviving Arabic fragments of his On Providence. E-79; Ancient Commentators on Aristotle; 9.10 X 6.40 X 0.90 inches; 212 pages.

hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton…mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
