John's commentaries on Aristotle were influential on medieval and early modern thinkers in Europe such as Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola and Galileo. Philoponus has been seen as an important precursor to the establishment of empirical philosophy. <BR> In this book Philoponus comments on Aristotle's De Anima On the Soul and substantially modifies Aristotle's ideas. His commentary deals specifically with Aristotle's theory of light "Philoponus contends that Aristotle' view fails to account both for the laws of optics. Philoponus modifies the theory so as to save the phenomena he proceeds to re-interpret the term Energeia not as a state of actuality but rather as an 'incorporeal activity' which besides constituting the transparency of the medium is also capable of warming bodies.Due to this novel interpretation of Aristotle's terminology light is now understood not statically but as something dynamical." - Stanford Philosophical Encyclopedia. <BR>It should also be noted that since Michael Hayduck's edition Berlin 1897 it is generally assumed by scholars that the third book of the commentary that had been ascribed to John Philoponus wasoriginally written by Stephanus of Alexandria as is attested in the manuscript Parisinus gr. 1914 11th/12th cent.

Otherwise clean unmarked pages. <br><br>John Philoponus also known as John the Grammarian or John of Alexandria was a Christian and Aristotelian commentator and the author of a considerable number of philosophical treatises and theological works. A rigorous sometimes polemical writer and an original thinker who was controversial in his own time John Philoponus broke from the Aristotelian-Neoplatonic tradition questioning methodology and eventually leading to empiricism in the natural sciences. He established his own independent thinking in his commentaries and critiques of Aristotle's On the Soul and Physics. In the latter work Philoponus became one of the earliest thinkers to reject Aristotle's dynamics and propose the 'theory of impetus': i.e. an object moves and continues to move because of an energy imparted in it by the mover and ceases movement when that energy is exhausted an early that was the first step towards the concept of inertia in modern physics. <br>His works were widely printed in Latin translations in Europe from the 15th century onwards. His critique of Aristotle in the Physics commentary was a major influence on Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Galileo Galilei who cited Philoponus substantially in his works often citing him more than Plato. Philoponus' main significance in the history of science lies in his being at the close of antiquity the first thinker to undertake a comprehensive and massive attack on the principal tenets of Aristotle's physics and cosmology an attack unequaled in thoroughness until Galileo. <br><br> LC: Adams P1058 Venetiis: Brandinus & Octavianus Scotus hardcover
