Philoponos (English spelling)

Japanese: フィロポノス(英語表記)Iōannēs Philoponos
Philoponos (English spelling)
He lived between the end of the 5th century and the second half of the 6th century. He was a disciple of Ammonius, the son of Hermeias, and a Christian (probably Monophysite) Neoplatonist. His works cover philosophy, literature, rhetoric, logic, theology, mathematics, and natural science, and he defended the theory of the origin of the universe in Genesis using his own knowledge of natural science, and wrote commentaries on Porphyry and Nicomachus, but his greatest work is his commentaries on the works of Aristotle. Of particular note is his commentary on Aristotle's Physics, in which, through his sharp criticism of Aristotle, he prophetically pointed the way to modern theory of motion at an exceptionally early date.

Japanese:
5世紀末~6世紀後半の人。ヘルメイアスの子アンモニオスの弟子で,キリスト教(おそらく単性論派)的新プラトン主義者。彼の著作は,哲学,文学,修辞学,論理学,神学,数学,自然学に及び,《創世記》の宇宙生成論をみずからの自然学的知識で弁護したり,ポルフュリオスやニコマコスの注釈を書いたりしているが,彼の最大の仕事はアリストテレスの著作への注釈である。なかでも注目されるのは,アリストテレス《自然学》に対する注釈の中で,鋭利なアリストテレス批判を通して,例外的に早い時代に近代運動論への道を予言的に指し示したことである。
