The section devoted to Physics 8.1 is one of the most extensive and interesting in Simplicius’ commentary on Physics 8. On the one hand, it contains Simplicius’ usual meticulous comments on the text of Aristotle, who here begins his demonstration of the eternity of motion. As is his wont, the Stagirite starts out with a critical survey of the views of his predecessors, which gives Simplicius the opportunity to quote and explain a number of important fragments of Presocratic philosophers (Anaximander, Anaximenes, Heraclitus, the Atomists, Diogenes of Apollonia, and especially Empedocles). But the bulk of Simplicius’ commentary on Physics 8.1 consists of one of his famous digressions, in which he quotes and attempts to refute several fragments from Book 6 of "Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World," written by his Christian rival, John Philoponus, sometime in the 530s. Many of the arguments of both Philoponus and Simplicius concerning time, eternity, and the nature of the infinite are of considerable philosophical importance, as a number of recent studies have shown. Quite apart from the intrinsic interest of the various arguments mobilized by both interlocutors, however, Book 8.1 of Simplicius’ "Commentary on Physics," together with his "Commentary on the de Caelo," provide us with vitally important documents concerning the conflict between pagans and Christians in the second quarter of the sixth century AD.

[...] Aristotle not only establishes the existence of such supra-natural movers; in Physics 8 and Metaphysics 12 he will also argue for some salient characteristics of these entities. Among these, the two which crop up in the Eudemian fragments can be conveniently labelled rela tional. Both the question to what extent motion can be attributed to these entities in virtue of the motion of the entities they move, and the question where exactly these entities are located can be meaningfully asked only in relation to the physical entities, from which they are oth erwise carefully distinguished.

Eduard Zeller suggested2 that Eudemus’ Physics was an abridgement of the Aristotelian treatise, compiled by Eudemus for his own lectures when he left the Lyceum and set up his own school in Rhodes. We can not I think prove this; but it seems plausible enough. It is clear that Eudemus followed the sequence of Aristotle’s discussion closely; Simplicius used Eudemus’ order of treatment to argue that the sixth book of Aristotle’s Physics was rightly regarded as following on the fifth (Eud. fr. 98W).

This text discusses a critical assessment of Wehrli's edition of Eudemus of Rhodes' fragments, focusing on their relevance to physics and Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Physics. The author argues that Wehrli's edition, while once standard, no longer meets current standards and necessitates a new one. Simplicius' role in preserving and interpreting ancient philosophers' doctrines and the significance of Eudemus' fragments are highlighted. The paper presents additional passages from Simplicius' commentary that were not included in Wehrli's edition, suggesting the need for a broader approach to studying fragments. The value of Eudemus' clarifications for later commentators is emphasized, leading to the conclusion that a reevaluation of Wehrli's method and form is necessary for future editors of the Eudemian fragments.

Eduard Zeller suggested2 that Eudemus’ Physics was an abridgement of the Aristotelian treatise, compiled by Eudemus for his own lectures when he left the Lyceum and set up his own school in Rhodes. We can not I think prove this; but it seems plausible enough. It is clear that Eudemus followed the sequence of Aristotle’s discussion closely; Simplicius used Eudemus’ order of treatment to argue that the sixth book of Aristotle’s Physics was rightly regarded as following on the fifth (Eud. fr. 98W).

[...] Aristotle not only establishes the existence of such supra-natural movers; in Physics 8 and Metaphysics 12 he will also argue for some salient characteristics of these entities. Among these, the two which crop up in the Eudemian fragments can be conveniently labelled rela tional. Both the question to what extent motion can be attributed to these entities in virtue of the motion of the entities they move, and the question where exactly these entities are located can be meaningfully asked only in relation to the physical entities, from which they are oth erwise carefully distinguished.

The section devoted to Physics 8.1 is one of the most extensive and interesting in Simplicius’ commentary on Physics 8. On the one hand, it contains Simplicius’ usual meticulous comments on the text of Aristotle, who here begins his demonstration of the eternity of motion. As is his wont, the Stagirite starts out with a critical survey of the views of his predecessors, which gives Simplicius the opportunity to quote and explain a number of important fragments of Presocratic philosophers (Anaximander, Anaximenes, Heraclitus, the Atomists, Diogenes of Apollonia, and especially Empedocles). But the bulk of Simplicius’ commentary on Physics 8.1 consists of one of his famous digressions, in which he quotes and attempts to refute several fragments from Book 6 of "Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World," written by his Christian rival, John Philoponus, sometime in the 530s. Many of the arguments of both Philoponus and Simplicius concerning time, eternity, and the nature of the infinite are of considerable philosophical importance, as a number of recent studies have shown. Quite apart from the intrinsic interest of the various arguments mobilized by both interlocutors, however, Book 8.1 of Simplicius’ "Commentary on Physics," together with his "Commentary on the de Caelo," provide us with vitally important documents concerning the conflict between pagans and Christians in the second quarter of the sixth century AD.

This text discusses a critical assessment of Wehrli's edition of Eudemus of Rhodes' fragments, focusing on their relevance to physics and Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Physics. The author argues that Wehrli's edition, while once standard, no longer meets current standards and necessitates a new one. Simplicius' role in preserving and interpreting ancient philosophers' doctrines and the significance of Eudemus' fragments are highlighted. The paper presents additional passages from Simplicius' commentary that were not included in Wehrli's edition, suggesting the need for a broader approach to studying fragments. The value of Eudemus' clarifications for later commentators is emphasized, leading to the conclusion that a reevaluation of Wehrli's method and form is necessary for future editors of the Eudemian fragments.

When Aristotle died, having chosen Theophrastus as his successor, Eudemus returned to Rhodes where it appears he founded his own school. His contributions to logic were significant: he took issue with Aristotle concerning the status of the existential \"is,\" and together with Theophrastus he made important contributions to hypothetical syllogistic and modal logic. He wrote at length on physics, largely following Aristotle, and took an interest in animal behavior. His histories of geometry, arithmetic, and astronomy were of great importance and are responsible for much of what we know of these subjects in earlier times.Volume 11 in the series Rutgers Studies in Classical Humanities is different in that it is composed entirely of articles that discuss Eudemus from a variety of viewpoints. Sixteen scholars representing seven nations have contributed essays to the volume. A special essay by Dimitri Gutas brings together for the first time the Arabic material relating to Eudemus. Other contributors and essays are: Hans B. Gottschalk, \"Eudemus and the Peripatos\"; Tiziano Dorandi, \"Quale aspetto controverso della biografia di Eudemo di Rodi\"; William W.

For it enlarges the scope of the information available on this author, highlights the need of, and paves the way to, a new critical edition of the Greek fragments of his works, and provides a clearer view of his life, thought, sources and influence.
