Simplicius embraced the long tradition within which Aristotle's philosophy was held to be in harmony with Platonism.
Simplicius' conviction that Epictetus' little book is a powerful and effective expression of an ethical position in harmony with Platonism and with Aristotelianism is what lies at the basis of all the attention he lavished on it.
Simplicius here says that no one would spend time eating and excreting unless one were 'provoked' (erethizomenos) by the irrational desire to do so.

Again Simplicius was exposed to similar views to those he had learnt in Alexandria and his philosophy was built up in a consistent way.
This is reflected by the nature of his writings which are not of the lecture course style, but instead are carefully constructed interpretations of the writings of Aristotle and in particular they attempt to harmonise the views of Plato and Aristotle.

Simplicius writes at a time when most pagan temples had been closed and the responsibility for making offerings to the Gods had therefore fallen exclusively upon the individual worshiper or upon small private circles of worshipers instead of a dedicated priestly establishment.
Simplicius stresses the importance of a universal, "scientific" understanding of the Gods which, by abstracting from the particularity of one's position and achieving the viewpoint of Aristotelian epistêmê, which is always of the universal, purges the action of making offerings from misconceptions that would dispose the worshiper unethically in relation to the Gods.
Simplicius thus contributes to the project of late pagan Platonism of arguing for the inseparability of philosophy from pagan religiosity.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.9.24
In these essays Simplicius turned from the annotation of specific texts to criticize Aristotle from a Neoplatonist perspective, and to attack Philoponus for his radical challenge to the Aristotelian paradigm.
For the rest, Simplicius offers an "extensive and free-ranging treatise" (Fleet, Introd., 5), which reflects his freedom from the pedagogical requirements that marked the Aristotelian exegesis of his contemporary Philoponus, and severely limited that of his predecessor Themistius.
As Simplicius remarks, it has its "basis", or "starting-points" (A)FORMAI/) (loosely translated as "influence" by Fleet), in Aristotle, since it reflects his distinction (at 193b23ff.) between the natural philosopher and the mathematical astronomer.
