Stone is primarily interested in how Avicenna and Simplicius treat the problem of how the terms \"corporeal\" and \"material\" are related. Both corporeity and materiality appear to be essential characteristics of natural substances, the subject of natural philosophy. Are corporeity and materiality ultimately the same thing, then? Or is there some way to distinguish them? Stone argues that Simplicius holds corporeity and materiality to be identical, while Avicenna holds corporeity to be a quasi-formal characteristic and thus different from materiality. Although Simplicius' and Avicenna's solutions to this problem differ, Stone finds that they share a tendency to treat issues such as this - originally a problem of natural philosophy - as a part of the domain of metaphysics. By creating new metaphysical concepts (\"corporeal form\" is a good example) and carving new metaphysical distinctions, the two philosophers were trying to create deeper and deeper foundations of consistency on which their philsophical systems could rest.

By this I mean two things. First, the increasing availability of edited Avicennian texts has allowed scholars to examine a broader spectrum of passages about particular topic than they were able to in the past. This, in turn, has made possible the recent and ongoing attempts to periodize Avicenna\u2019s philosophical career through the careful dating of individual work. Scholars now have to come to terms with the fact that there may not be a single Avicennian position on a given issue, but rather a history of positions, adopted at different periods of his life. \r\nSecond, many of the ancient commentaries on Aristotle, though available in the original Greek for a hundred years now, have only recently been translated into English. These translations, along with the new scholarly work on the commentators which has followed in their wake, have made a massive but heretofore forbidden resource for the history of late-antique and early-medieval philosophy easily accessible to speciallists in Arabic philosophy. The more precisely we understand how Greek philosophy developed durig the period between 200 CE and 600 CE, the better able we shall be to situate the theories of philosophers such as Avicenny in their intellectual-historical context.

Although he uses Aristotelian terminology and means his doctrine to conflict minimally with those of Aristode, James s doctrine of propensities really constitutes an attempt to provide a technically rigorous dressing to his Augustini\u00e1n and Boethian convictions. Central to Jamess procedure is his rejection, following Henry of Ghent, of the principle that \"everything that is moved is moved by another\". James uses Simplicius' doctrine of propensities as a means of extending the rejection of that principle, which Henry had limited to the case of the will, to cognitive operations and natural change. The result is a theory of cognition and volition that sees the soul as the principal cause of its own acts, and a theory of natural change that minimizes the causal impact of external agents.

In this commentary, Simplicius aimed to demonstrate the harmony of doctrines presented by the Presocratic philosophers, both in the physical and metaphysical realms. However, his work has been largely overlooked, partly due to the dominance of the Vorsokratiker collection as the standard source for Presocratic material. This neglect is also attributed to Simplicius being a late Neoplatonist and a commentator, which led to simplistic assessments of his interpretations. Despite being dismissed as derivative and his interpretations considered anachronistic, Simplicius' commentaries and quotations of the Presocratic authors are valuable sources for understanding their philosophies. His work cannot be separated from his interpretations, and their examination can provide important insights into the context and focus of the Presocratics' ideas. While Simplicius employs Neoplatonic concepts in his interpretations, dismissing them solely on this basis overlooks the depth and philological rigor present in his work. Rejecting his interpretations on these grounds may hinder a comprehensive understanding of the Presocratic philosophers and their contributions to ancient philosophy.
