My discussion will fall into four parts. In the next [sc. first] section, I will look at some of the more important features of Porphyry’s interpretation of the 'Cate­gories’ that enabled him to downplay the evidently anti-Platonic metaphysical elements that the work contains and to turn it into a basic textbook of logic for his revived school-Platonism. Here I will be relying heavily upon an important and seminal paper by A. C. Lloyd. Then I will turn to the main arguments that Plotinus employs against what was in his day the standard interpretation of Aristode’s 'Categories’, and their implications for his view o f the nature of that work and its relation to Platonism. In the final section of the paper, we will be able to see some important connections between Plotinus’ position and Porphyry’s which throw light on the metaphysical issues connected with the important Neoplatonic thesis of the fundamental harmony of the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. [Introduction, p. 957]

This text discusses the development of Aristotelian philosophy in the Roman world from the time of Cicero to the end of the second century AD. The author describes the period as a time of transition, in which Hellenistic systems such as Stoicism and Epicureanism were dominant, followed by the scholastic restatement of Aristotelianism culminating in Alexander of Aphrodisias and of Platonism by Plotinus and his followers. The author also discusses the challenges of studying this period due to the loss of relevant literature, and the rigidity of Aristotelianism which inhibited its further development and allowed it to be absorbed by Platonism. Overall, the text provides an overview of the intellectual and philosophical climate of the Roman Empire during this period. [introduction/conclusion]

My  discussion  will  fall  into  four  parts.  In  the  next [sc. first] section,  I  will  look  at some  of the more important features of Porphyry’s  interpretation of the 'Cate­gories’  that  enabled  him  to  downplay  the  evidently  anti-Platonic  metaphysical elements that the work contains and to turn it into a basic textbook of logic for 
his  revived  school-Platonism.  Here  I will  be relying heavily upon an important and seminal paper by A. C.  Lloyd. Then I will turn to the main arguments that Plotinus  employs  against  what  was  in  his  day  the  standard  interpretation  of Aristode’s 'Categories’,  and their implications for his view o f the nature of that work  and  its  relation  to  Platonism.  In  the  final  section  of the paper,  we  will 
be  able  to  see  some  important  connections  between  Plotinus’  position  and Porphyry’s  which  throw  light  on  the  metaphysical  issues  connected  with  the important Neoplatonic thesis of the fundamental harmony of the philosophies of Plato  and  Aristotle. [Introduction, p. 957]
