Les Commentaires de Simplicius Et de Jean Philopon ? La "physique" d'Aristote: Tradition Et Innovation

In Greek Late Antiquity philosophy defined itself above all through the interpretation of authoritative texts such as Plato's dialogues or the treatises of Aristotle. This work looks at the last Late Antique commentaries on Aristotle's Physics, by the pagan Simplikios and the Christian Philoponos (both 6th cent. AD). Golistis demonstrates how differently the two contemporaries interpreted the philosophical tradition and how this led to the deduction of different routes to finding the truth.
