One of the texts in the collection, <i>On Intellect</i>, had a major influence on medieval Arabic and Western thought, greater than that of Alexander's <i>On the Soul</i> itself. The treatises may all be by Alexander himself; certainly the majority of them are closely connected with his other works. Many of them, however, consist of collections of arguments on particular issues, collections which probably incorporate material from earlier in the history of the Peripatetic school. This translation is from a new edition of the Greek text based on a collation of all known manuscripts and comparison with medieval Arabic and Latin translations.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>R.W.
