This paper focuses on Porphyry’s Isagoge against the wider background of debates about genera and the hierarchy of being in early Neoplatonism from Plotinus to Iamblichus. Three works are considered: Porphyry’s Isagoge, Plotinus tripartite treatise On The Genera of Being (VI, 1-3 [42-44]), Iamblichus’ Reply to Porphyry (the so-called De Mysteriis). In addition to this, the discussion focuses on some passages on genus and predication from Porphyry’s and Iamblichus’ lost commentaries on Aristotle’s Categories preserved in Simplicius. In his account of genus, Porphyry draws on Aristotle and apparently claims that an amended version of the genus/species relation is able to express the hierarchy of different levels of being. This view is different from that of Plotinus, who instead argues that intelligible and sensible beings are homonymous, as well as from that of Iamblichus, who rejects the existence of a common genus above intelligible and sensible beings, while emphasising the analogy subsisting between different levels in the hierarchy.

The article discusses Porphyry and Iamblichus' views on universals and synonymous predication, with a focus on Porphyry's interpretation of Aristotle's theory of genus and substantial predication. Porphyry presents the genus/species relation as a kind of genealogy, which is based on the Platonic theory of the hierarchy of beings. This conception of the genus/species relation is un-Aristotelian, and Porphyry's treatment of genus in the Isagoge does not refer to transcendent ante rem principles. Porphyry's views on universals and predication are based on physical entities such as bodiless immanent forms, which provide real correlates for his universal predicates. In contrast, Iamblichus offers a Platonising reading of the Aristotelian theory of substantial predication, which refers to ante rem genera and the metaphysical relation of participation. Neither Porphyry nor Iamblichus believe that an ante rem form can be predicated synonymously of corporeal individuals. [introduction/conclusion]
