 Certainly, one may wonder whether such a program does justice to either Plato or Aristotle, although this issue is not relevant to the present discussion of Simplicius. Within the framework of Late Neoplatonism, it seems advisable to distinguish Simplicius from Syrianus and Proclus, since both of the latter are much more explicit and polemical when it comes to reprimanding Aristotle for his criticism of Plato. On the other hand, while it is true that Simplicius makes a great effort to reconcile the two philosophers, such a rapprochement could also be considered a Platonisation of Aristotle and a stealthy neutralisation of his at times anti-Platonic line of reasoning.
