| In this passage from Aristotle's De Caelo, he explores why the heavens revolve in one direction rather than the other. He suggests that the universe has a front and a back, which implies a forward motion that is superior to backward motion, just as upward and rightward motions are superior to their respective opposites. Aristotle argues that since nature always follows the best course, the direction of the heaven's revolution must be forward and therefore better. The text is difficult to understand due to possible corruptions, but a comparison with Simplicius' paraphrase suggests that both the subject and object of the main verb are missing and need to be restored.

| The text discusses a disputed line in Parmenides, quoted in Plato's Theaetetus and Simplicius' Physics. Some editors deny the line's independent existence, claiming it was created by Plato by misquoting another verse. The author disagrees with this view, arguing that the line is meaningful and could have been in their texts of Parmenides. The author also argues that there is no reason to believe that Simplicius took the line from Plato, and that Plato was not slovenly in his treatment of Parmenides. The author proposes a corrected version of the line and suggests that it may be Parmenides' last word on the unity and unchangeableness of Being. [introduction/conclusion] |
