Aristotle Transformed: The Ancient Commentators and Their Influence

Aristotle Transformed: The Ancient Commentators and Their Influence (Ancient Commentators on Aristotle) by Richard Sorabji
Cornell Univ Pr; First edition | March 1990 | English | ISBN: 0801424321 | 545 pages | DJVU | 5 MB

All of these articles are good, indeed, most are outstanding. Of course, the first essay by Sorabji gets the ball rolling and must not be missed. Much, if not all, of the period covered here can perhaps best be characterized as the attempt to harmonize the works of Plato and Aristotle. Of this Harmonization Sorabji justly, in my opinion, remarks that, quot;[n]ot for the only time in the history of philosophy (the condemnation of the 219 propositions in 1277 pres another example), a perfectly crazy position (harmony) proves philosophically fruitful. To establish the harmony of Plato and Aristotle, philosophers had to think up new ideas, and the result was an amalgam different from either of the two original philosophies.quot;
