The study points to the question of identity of Byzantine philosophy in its relation to Ancient Greek philosophy as it can be exemplified on John Philoponus´ work. Significance of Philoponus´ commentary rests in his remarkable affinity to modern critique of Aristotle´s explanation of nature. Aristotle´s treatise on heavens, its composition and intention exemplifies that Philoponus´ critique unintentionally evades the possibility of inquiring into the very own, philosophical, meaning of Aristotle´s explication. It also determines the way we enable ourselves to follow Aristotle´s decisive articulation of the concept of motion, change and nature. The question of eternity and finitude of the world in Aristotle can lead us today to reconsideration of the meaning of historicity as well as physicality of the world.

Philoponus’ critical commentary on Aristotle’s treatise on nature considers the idea of eternal world seminal not only in Aristotle’s explanation of nature, but also in ancient Greek philosophical thought. The study opens the problem of the motivation in and nature of Aristotle’s treatises themselves. It shows that Philoponus, despite his attempts to stay very precise and detailed in reading Aristotle’s text, misses the whole question of the nature of the treatise, even though his critique is not motivated primarily theologically. We believe that to declare the very self-being of the world points to the very own subject of Aristotle’s Physics and the significance of setting the heavens apart in its own-being. Finally, we test this frame of thinking as a source of possible answers to some of Philoponus’ most noted critical reservations against Aristotle’s conception.
