Andronicus - Andronikos (English spelling) Andronikos ho Rhodios

Japanese: アンドロニコス - あんどろにこす(英語表記)Andronīkos ho Rhodios
Andronicus - Andronikos (English spelling) Andronikos ho Rhodios

Date of birth and death unknown. An Aristotelian scholar from around 70 BC. Born in Rhodes. 11th head of Lyceum, Aristotle's school. At the time Aristotle's early works were widely available to the general public, but he classified Aristotle's lecture drafts from his time at Lyceum and compiled and published them in the form of the complete collection that exists today. He also wrote annotations for these, which are significant in that they organized Aristotle's works and left them for future generations. However, this meant that his early works were not handed down. The name "metaphysics" is thought to come from the phrase "ta meta ta physika," which means "that which comes after physical science," used at the time of compilation.

Japanese:

生没年不詳。紀元前70年ごろのアリストテレス学者。ロードス島出身。アリストテレスの学園リケイオンの11代学頭。当時一般向けにアリストテレスの初期の作品が流布していたが、リケイオン時代のアリストテレスの講義草稿を分類して、現存の全集の形で編集公刊した。またこれに注釈を書いたが、アリストテレスの作品を整理して、後世に残したことに意義がある。しかし逆に初期の作品は伝存しないことになった。「形而上(けいじじょう)学」metaphysicaという名は、その編集のおりの、「自然学の後に置かれたもの」ta meta ta physikaということばに由来するものとみられている。
