Fourteen contributions provide new insight into state-of-the-art contemporary research on the widespread phenomenon of doxography. Together, they demonstrate how Greek, Syriac, and Arabic forms of doxography share common features and raise related questions that benefit interdisciplinary exchange among colleagues from various disciplines, such as classics, Arabic studies, and the history of philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: Doxography: Ends and Means   Andreas Lammer and Mareike Jas    1 Making Sense of Other Philosophers: Exegesis and Interpretation in Aristotle   Christian Pfeiffer    2 Helping the Reader: The Paratextual Elements in the Aëtian Placita in the Framework of Its Genre   Jaap Mansfeld    3 Irreducible Texts: The Implications for an Edition of the Aëtian Placita   David T.
