[Conclusion, p. 81]: ies of books that do not sell fast enough. We conclude that we cannot, merely on the basis of the Strasbourg fragments, confidendy assign to (book two of?) the physical poem the grue- some fragment (now plus its new context) Stein and Diels assigned to the Purifications. Until further evidence turns up, only a non liquet is feasible, and we should keep open the possibility that we are dealing with 'Z?y Empedocle de Strasbourg'. And the 6s in the papyrus fragments discussed above are simply wrong. The slighdy bizarre interpretation based on them may be abandoned.

During the past three decades Jaap Mansfeld, Professor of Ancient Philosophy in Utrecht, has built up a formidable reputation as a leading scholar in his field. His work has concentrated on the Presocratics, Hellenistic Philosophy, the sources of our knowledge of ancient philosophy (esp. doxography) and the history of scholarship. In honour of his sixtieth birthday, colleagues and friends have contributed a collection of articles which represent the state of the art in the study of the history of ancient philosophy and frequently concentrate on subjects in which the honorand has made important discoveries. The 22 contributors include M. Baltes, J. Barnes, J. Brunschwig, W.M. Calder III, J. Dillon, P.L. Donini, J. Glucker, A.A. Long, L.M. de Rijk, D. Sedley, P. Schrijvers, and M. Vegetti. The volume concludes with a complete bibliography of Jaap Mansfeld's scholarly work so far.

Very short papers are not what his readers most immediately associate with the name of Jaap Mansfeld. But his piece entitled ‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ runs to less than three full pages of text, and the notes cover only half a page more.1 Perhaps its brevity is one of the reasons for its neglect. Schofield in his light revision of Raven’s chapter on Anaxagoras in The Presocratic Philosophers does not refer to it.2 Nor do more recent articles such as Inwood’s or Furth’s.3 The neglect is unfortunate. Of the difficult text Mansfeld takes as his topic, ‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ seems to me much the most persuasive account available in the scholarly literature. In what follows I shall advance further considerations in favour of its interpretation of the mysterious ‘other world’, and against some of the alternatives favoured in other quarters. [p. 3]

Concepts of Space in Greek Thought studies ancient Greek theories of physical space and place, in particular those of the classical and Hellenistic period. These theories are explained primarily with reference to the general philosophical or methodological framework within which they took shape. Special attention is paid to the nature and status of the sources. Two introductory chapters deal with the interrelations between various concepts of space and with Greek spatial terminology (including case studies of the Eleatics, Democritus and Epicurus). The remaining chapters contain detailed studies on the theories of space of Plato, Aristotle, the early Peripatetics and the Stoics. The book is especially useful for historians of ancient physics, but may also be of interest to students of Aristotelian dialectic, ancient metaphysics, doxography, and medieval and early modern physics.

The fourth book of Aristotle’s Physics contains what has come to be known as his ‘classical’ discussion of the problems concerning physical place. The definition of topos ultimately issuing from this discussion, viz. topos as the first unmoved boundary of the containing body, became with some exceptions canonical in the later Aristotelian tradition. However, not very surprisingly, spatial concepts also crop up in a number of other works: the Categories (Cat.), De Generatione et Corruptione (GC), and De Caelo (Gael.). A survey of the ways in which these works use spatial terms, in particular the term topos, will reveal important prima facie incon­ sistencies. The present chapter will deal with these various uses of topos and will try to fit them all into a more or less coherent picture. [Introduction, p. 121]

This text discusses problems in Aristotle's theory of place and early Peripatetic reactions. While Aristotle's theory of place was designed as a physical rather than a metaphysical theory, it has been criticized for having unsatisfactory arguments against rival conceptions and for being primarily a theory of the location of static bodies rather than playing a role in the explanation of motion. Additionally, Aristotle's conception of place as the limit of the surrounding body produced counter-intuitive consequences. The text explores two aporiai that Aristotle did not explicitly solve and the early Peripatetic discussions surrounding them. The first aporia is whether place may count as a cause, and the second is the ontological status of Aristotelian place. [introduction]

The aim of the present study is to determine what position should be assigned to Theophrastus’ ideas about place in general, and to fr. 22 in particular, in the Rezeptionsgeschichte of Aristotelian physics. To this purpose we shall concentrate on the three main items already referred to, viz. (1) the interpretation of fr. 22 in relation to fr. 21 and to Aristotle’s theory of topos to be found in the Physics, (2) the problem of Theophrastus’ commitment, and (3) the question as to how our source Simplicius interprets, or misinterprets, Theophrastus’ position.

Very  short  papers  are  not  what  his  readers  most  immediately 
associate  with  the  name  of Jaap  Mansfeld.  But  his  piece  entitled 
‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ runs to less than three full pages of text, 
and  the  notes cover  only half a page  more.1  Perhaps its brevity is 
one of the reasons for its neglect. Schofield in his light revision of 
Raven’s  chapter on Anaxagoras  in  The Presocratic Philosophers does 
not refer  to  it.2  Nor do  more  recent  articles  such  as Inwood’s  or 
Furth’s.3 The neglect is unfortunate.  Of the difficult text Mansfeld 
takes  as  his  topic,  ‘Anaxagoras’  Other World’  seems  to  me  much 
the most persuasive account available in the scholarly literature. In 
what follows I shall advance further considerations in favour of its 
interpretation of the mysterious ‘other world’, and against some of 
the alternatives favoured in other quarters. [p. 3]

The fourth book of Aristotle’s Physics contains what has come to be known  as  his  ‘classical’  discussion  of  the  problems  concerning physical  place.  The  definition  of  topos  ultimately  issuing  from this  discussion,  viz.  topos  as  the  first  unmoved  boundary  of the containing  body,  became  with  some  exceptions  canonical  in  the later Aristotelian  tradition.  However,  not very surprisingly,  spatial concepts also crop  up  in  a number of other works:  the  Categories (Cat.), De  Generatione et  Corruptione  (GC), and De Caelo  (Gael.).  A survey  of  the  ways  in  which  these  works  use  spatial  terms,  in particular  the  term  topos,  will  reveal  important prima facie incon­
sistencies. The present chapter will deal with these various uses of 
topos  and  will  try  to  fit  them  all  into  a  more  or  less  coherent 
picture. [Introduction, p. 121]

These theories are explained primarily with reference to the general philosophical or methodological framework within which they took shape. Special attention is paid to the nature and status of the sources. Two introductory chapters deal with the interrelations between various concepts of space and with Greek spatial terminology (including case studies of the Eleatics, Democritus and Epicurus). The remaining chapters contain detailed studies on the theories of space of Plato, Aristotle, the early Peripatetics and the Stoics.
The book is especially useful for historians of ancient physics, but may also be of interest to students of Aristotelian dialectic, ancient metaphysics, doxography, and medieval and early modern physics.

During the past three decades Jaap Mansfeld, Professor of Ancient Philosophy in Utrecht, has built up a formidable reputation as a leading scholar in his field. His work has concentrated on the Presocratics, Hellenistic Philosophy, the sources of our knowledge of ancient philosophy (esp. doxography) and the history of scholarship.
In honour of his sixtieth birthday, colleagues and friends have contributed a collection of articles which represent the state of the art in the study of the history of ancient philosophy and frequently concentrate on subjects in which the honorand has made important discoveries.
The 22 contributors include M. Baltes, J. Barnes, J. Brunschwig, W.M. Calder III, J. Dillon, P.L. Donini, J. Glucker, A.A. Long, L.M. de Rijk, D. Sedley, P. Schrijvers, and M. Vegetti. The volume concludes with a complete bibliography of Jaap Mansfeld's scholarly work so far.

This text discusses problems in Aristotle's theory of place and early Peripatetic reactions. While Aristotle's theory of place was designed as a physical rather than a metaphysical theory, it has been criticized for having unsatisfactory arguments against rival conceptions and for being primarily a theory of the location of static bodies rather than playing a role in the explanation of motion. Additionally, Aristotle's conception of place as the limit of the surrounding body produced counter-intuitive consequences. The text explores two aporiai that Aristotle did not explicitly solve and the early Peripatetic discussions surrounding them. The first aporia is whether place may count as a cause, and the second is the ontological status of Aristotelian place. [introduction]

[Conclusion, p. 81]: ies of books that do not sell fast enough. 
We conclude that we cannot, merely on the basis of the Strasbourg 
fragments, confidendy assign to (book two of?) the physical poem the grue- 
some fragment (now plus its new context) Stein and Diels assigned to the 
Purifications.  Until further evidence turns up, only a non liquet  is feasible, 
and we should keep open the possibility that we are dealing with 'Z?y 
Empedocle de Strasbourg'. And the 6s in the papyrus fragments discussed 
above are simply wrong. The slighdy bizarre interpretation based on them 
may be abandoned.
