| Very short papers are not what his readers most immediately associate with the name of Jaap Mansfeld. But his piece entitled ‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ runs to less than three full pages of text, and the notes cover only half a page more.1 Perhaps its brevity is one of the reasons for its neglect. Schofield in his light revision of Raven’s chapter on Anaxagoras in The Presocratic Philosophers does not refer to it.2 Nor do more recent articles such as Inwood’s or Furth’s.3 The neglect is unfortunate. Of the difficult text Mansfeld takes as his topic, ‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ seems to me much the most persuasive account available in the scholarly literature. In what follows I shall advance further considerations in favour of its interpretation of the mysterious ‘other world’, and against some of the alternatives favoured in other quarters. [p. 3] |

| The fourth book of Aristotle’s Physics contains what has come to be known as his ‘classical’ discussion of the problems concerning physical place. The definition of topos ultimately issuing from this discussion, viz. topos as the first unmoved boundary of the containing body, became with some exceptions canonical in the later Aristotelian tradition. However, not very surprisingly, spatial concepts also crop up in a number of other works: the Categories (Cat.), De Generatione et Corruptione (GC), and De Caelo (Gael.). A survey of the ways in which these works use spatial terms, in particular the term topos, will reveal important prima facie incon sistencies. The present chapter will deal with these various uses of topos and will try to fit them all into a more or less coherent picture. [Introduction, p. 121] |

| This text discusses problems in Aristotle's theory of place and early Peripatetic reactions. While Aristotle's theory of place was designed as a physical rather than a metaphysical theory, it has been criticized for having unsatisfactory arguments against rival conceptions and for being primarily a theory of the location of static bodies rather than playing a role in the explanation of motion. Additionally, Aristotle's conception of place as the limit of the surrounding body produced counter-intuitive consequences. The text explores two aporiai that Aristotle did not explicitly solve and the early Peripatetic discussions surrounding them. The first aporia is whether place may count as a cause, and the second is the ontological status of Aristotelian place. [introduction] |

Very short papers are not what his readers most immediately associate with the name of Jaap Mansfeld. But his piece entitled ‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ runs to less than three full pages of text, and the notes cover only half a page more.1 Perhaps its brevity is one of the reasons for its neglect. Schofield in his light revision of Raven’s chapter on Anaxagoras in The Presocratic Philosophers does not refer to it.2 Nor do more recent articles such as Inwood’s or Furth’s.3 The neglect is unfortunate. Of the difficult text Mansfeld takes as his topic, ‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ seems to me much the most persuasive account available in the scholarly literature. In what follows I shall advance further considerations in favour of its interpretation of the mysterious ‘other world’, and against some of the alternatives favoured in other quarters. [p. 3] |

The fourth book of Aristotle’s Physics contains what has come to be known as his ‘classical’ discussion of the problems concerning physical place. The definition of topos ultimately issuing from this discussion, viz. topos as the first unmoved boundary of the containing body, became with some exceptions canonical in the later Aristotelian tradition. However, not very surprisingly, spatial concepts also crop up in a number of other works: the Categories (Cat.), De Generatione et Corruptione (GC), and De Caelo (Gael.). A survey of the ways in which these works use spatial terms, in particular the term topos, will reveal important prima facie incon sistencies. The present chapter will deal with these various uses of topos and will try to fit them all into a more or less coherent picture. [Introduction, p. 121] |

This text discusses problems in Aristotle's theory of place and early Peripatetic reactions. While Aristotle's theory of place was designed as a physical rather than a metaphysical theory, it has been criticized for having unsatisfactory arguments against rival conceptions and for being primarily a theory of the location of static bodies rather than playing a role in the explanation of motion. Additionally, Aristotle's conception of place as the limit of the surrounding body produced counter-intuitive consequences. The text explores two aporiai that Aristotle did not explicitly solve and the early Peripatetic discussions surrounding them. The first aporia is whether place may count as a cause, and the second is the ontological status of Aristotelian place. [introduction] |
