After a long period of neglect, recent decades have seen an increasing interest in, and revaluation of, Neoplatonic physics or, as James Wilberding and Christoph Horn prefer to call it, philosophy of nature [1]. The articles in this fine volume, many of which were originally presented at a conference hosted by the University of Bonn in 2007, are among a variety of recent high-quality publications on this topic-including the proceedings from an international workshop held in Castelvecchio [Chiaradonna and Trabattoni 2009], the second volume of Sorabji's The Philosophy of the Commentators [2005], and Wilberding's works on Plotinus' cosmology [2006] and Porphyry's biology [2011].These few references, which are only a small part of the relevant studies on this until now under-researched topic, show that the prejudicial view that Neoplatonic philosophers had little to contribute to the investigation of nature and physical reality is starting to fade away. The resurgent interest in Neoplatonic views on nature does not imply that Neoplatonists were natural scientists in the style of Aristotle, Galen, or Ptolemy. 1 However, while their explanations of specific physical phenomena tended to lack detail, the Neoplatonists generally had a coherent and comprehensive account of physical reality, albeit with some significant variations. These Neoplatonic accounts, often rigorous and innovative, are relevant not only for a more accurate understanding of Neoplatonic metaphysics but also for the history of philosophy and science more generally.The volume collects 10 articles and is thematically divided into two parts. The first, 'The General Metaphysics of Nature', reflects the generally shared 1 See the remark about Plotinus in Wildberg 2009, 122.
