We followed the tradition of the Symposium by bringing together colleagues from various countries to study and discuss a topic of major interest in Aristotelian studies. We took the individual chapters of the firstbookofthefoundationalDegenerationeetcorruptioneasthetheme of (at least) one presentation and discussion, and left one session for discussionofthisbookasawhole. Inthiswaythetendencyofthemore recent meetings of the Symposium to devote special attention to (a substantial part) of an Aristotelian treatise was continued. The chapters of the present collection do not form, and are not intended to form, a commentary on the treatise, though individual sections and passages are of course commented on. Instead, we want to focusonspecificissuesandcontroversialpoints,hopingthatthisinquiry will bring some measure of enlightenment to our readers, though dis- agreementsonparticularquestionsareunavoidablyincluded.Asalways, thefinalversionsofthepapersdifferfromthedraftsreadattheSympo- sium, the authors having profited from the discussions, and from the comments they happened to receive while revising their text.
