Project contributor Peter Adamson has produced a podcast on Alexander of Aphrodisias as part of his History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps series. In the same series he has discussed the origins of the Aristotelian commentary tradition.
Spring 2012 saw the publication of the 90th volume in the Ancient Commentators series. This volume, by Richard McKirahan, presents part of Philoponus' commentary on Aristotle's Posterior Analytics. In this part of the Posterior Analytics Aristotle elaborates his assessment of how universal truths of science can be scientifically explained as inevitable in demonstrative proofs. Philoponus takes these issues further. |
