CFP: Aristotle and Aristotelians on pre-Aristotelian Theorizing

What did Aristotle and those who followed in his path think that Aristotle’s predecessors were up to?  Aristotle’s discussion of his predecessors in Meta. A, Physics I and GC are of special interest.  In addition, possible questions include but are not restricted to the following.  Did Aristotle and ancient and medieval Aristotelians understand pre-Aristotelian science as conforming to the Posterior Analytics?  How did they understand ancient Greek geometry?  How did they understand the explanatory strategy found in Plato’s Timaeus and other Platonic works?  How did they understand the methods and principles of the Hippocratic writers?  How did Arabic alchemy build on and respond to both Aristotle and Empedocles?  How were the varieties of Aristotelian noetics integrated with Platonic ontology?
