520 1 $a"This is the first book-length study in English of the interpretative and philosophical approach of the commentaries of Simplicius of Cilicia (c. 530 CE). Simplicius' work, marked by doctrinal complexity and scholarship, is unusually self-conscious, learned and rich in its sources, and he is therefore one of those rare authors who is of interest to ancient philosophers, historians and classicists alike. The book argues that our understanding of Simplicius' methodology will be greatly enhanced if we examine how his scholarly approach affects his philosophical exegesis." "Philosophy and Exegesis in Simplicius not only clarifies the objectives and pre-suppositions of Simplicius' work, but also illustrates how, as a competent philosopher explicating Aristotelian and Platonic ideas, he continues and develops a method that pursues philosophy by way of exegetical engagement with earlier thinkers and commentators."--BOOK JACKET.
