Some aspects of Simplicius‘ polemical writings against John Philoponus: From invective to a reaffirmation of the transcendence of the heavens: I am not entirely comfortable at finding myself introducing a discordant note into a collection intended to celebrate the refreshing originality of Philoponus’ ideas. I shall, however, be speaking for Simplicius, vindictive pagan that he was, and shall hope to be an effective counterweight to what is said in other chapters.I shall be talking within the framework of a general interprétation of Simplicius’ com- mentary on Aristotle’s De caelo.

[Conclusion, p. 120]: If we are prepared to assume that the basic presuppositions of impetus theory can be traced back not to observational experience which Aristotle missed, but rather to a certain concept of man and to certain ethical principles, we need not attempt to explain the emergence of the theory solely by reference to new observations of falling bodies and the like. Is it not more appropriate to ask about the origin and kind of ethical problem to which impetus theory originally helped to provide an answer? The experience that forces are exhausted in all physical activities of human beings could have been just such a problem. Earlier society, which had left this experience chiefly to slaves, could not really have had such a problem. But, by the close of Antiquity, times were changing.

[Conclusion, p. 227]: A fuller account of the fortuna of Philoponus in the sixteenth century and an analytical study of the place of his physical thought in the development of that subject during the Renaissance requires a much more concerted effort than I have been able to give here. I hope that I have at least been able to show that the subject is worthy of further investigation.

[Conclusion, p. 120]: If we are prepared to assume that the basic presuppositions of impetus theory 
can be traced back not to observational  experience which  Aristotle  missed, 
but rather to a certain concept of man and to certain ethical  principles,  we 
need not attempt to explain the emergence of the theory solely by reference to 
new observations of falling bodies and the like.  Is it not more appropriate to 
ask  about  the  origin  and  kind  of  ethical  problem  to  which  impetus  theory 
originally  helped  to  provide  an  answer?  The  experience  that  forces  are 
exhausted in all physical activities of human beings could have been just such 
a  problem.  Earlier society,  which  had  left  this  experience  chiefly  to  slaves, 
could not  really  have  had  such  a  problem.  But,  by  the close  of Antiquity, 
times were changing.

[Conclusion, p. 227]: A fuller account of the fortuna of Philoponus in the sixteenth century and an analytical study of the place of his physical thought in the development of that 
subject during the Renaissance requires a much more concerted effort than I 
have been able to give here.  I hope that I have at least been able to show that the subject is worthy of further investigation.

Some aspects of Simplicius‘ polemical writings against John Philoponus: From invective to a reaffirmation of the transcendence of the heavens: 
I  am  not  entirely  comfortable  at  finding  myself introducing  a  discordant note  into  a collection intended to celebrate the refreshing originality of Philoponus’  ideas.  I  shall, 
however, be speaking for Simplicius, vindictive pagan that he was, and shall hope to be 
an effective counterweight to what is said in other chapters.I shall be talking within the framework of a general interprétation of Simplicius’ com- 
mentary on Aristotle’s De caelo. [p. 1]
