490 1  Ancient commentators on Aristotle 
520    One of his six introductions to philosophy, widely used by
       students in Alexandria, Ammonius' lecture on Porphyry was 
       recorded in writing by his students in the commentary 
       translated here. Along with five other types of 
       introductions (three of which are translated in the 
       Ancient Commentators on Aristotle volume Elias and David: 
       Introductions to Philosophy with Olympiodorus: 
       Introduction to Logic) it made Greek philosophy more 
       accessible to other cultures. These introductions became 
       standard in Ammonius' school and included a popular set of
       five or more definitions of philosophy, some of them drawn
       from commentaries on quite different works. Ammonius' 
       lecture expounded the most celebrated and discussed 
       previous introduction written by Porphyry 200 years 
       earlier, which was devoted to five main technical terms of
       Aristotle's logic. Ammonius was sympathetic to Porphyry 
       because they both sought to harmonise the views of Plato 
       and Aristotle with each other, arguing in different ways 
       that the two philosophers did not disagree about the 
       nature of universals. Porphyry's introduction was a hugely
       influential work for centuries after its composition, and 
       this commentary by Ammonius served to maintain its 
       position at the centre of later schools of philosophy. 
       This English translation of Ammonius' work is the latest 
       volume in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series and
       makes this philosophical work accessible to a modern 
       readership. The translation is accompanied by an 
       introduction, comprehensive commentary notes, bibliography,
       glossary of translated terms and a subject index.
