Description: 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.
