Summary: who wrote on almost all of Aristotle’s extant works. Andronicus also tried to harmonize Platonism and Aristotle- ism, combining the doctrines of the Timaeus with the Aristotelian Physics. The school was now mainly concerned with logic and was largely occupied with verbal disputes. The methods and terminology of the Stoics and the Peripatetics were opposed in a superficial way, while in reality the schools were merging. The later history of the school shows a gradual decline and a loss of distinctness in its character, ultimately being absorbed into the Neoplatonic movement. Additionally, the attempt of the School to harmonize Platonism and Aristotelianism laid the foundation for the development of later Christian Scholasticism, thereby having a lasting impact on philosophical thought.
