Printingandbinding:Hubert&Co.,Göttingen To G. and Ellie, with love Acknowledgements The present study is a revised version of my Habilitationsschrift (Philos- ophy Department, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, 2004). It owes much to the many people who have played a part in its coming to be. In seminars in which the texts were discussed, several students were especially tough and helpful: Andreas Schwab, Franz Knappick, and Thomas Brunotte. The referees for my habilitation, Thomas Buch- heim,R(cid:2)miBrague,andWilhelmVossenkuhlprovided detailedcriticism of a version of the study. Audiences at the occasions where I have spoken about aspects of the project – in Munich, Kassel, Humboldt University Berlin, Free University Berlin, Hamburg, Trinity College Dublin – have been most instructive. Aversion of Section 4: ‘General Conclusion, Aristotle and Plotinus on memory’ was read at the Sorbonne, and is ap- pearing in: La fortune antique et m(cid:2)di(cid:2)vale des Parva Naturalia.

Sabine Vogt discussed many aspects of Aristotle with me. A seminar on the Posterior Analytics given with Johannes H(cid:3)bner made many things clear to me. My sister, Geraldine King, read a complete version of the text and made many sug- gestionsastostyleandcoherence.Mywife,MartinaKing,alsoreadaver- sion and gave me detailed comments; discussions of the problems have been unavoidable, she has contributed most generously and profitably.
