| The text discusses Simplicius' harmonizing approach towards the philosophical doctrines of Plato and Aristotle, particularly focusing on the famous thesis of the supposed 'symphony' or 'harmony' between the two ancient philosophers. Simplicius is seen as a staunch supporter of this thesis, urging readers not to be misled by apparent disagreements between Plato and Aristotle. Instead, Simplicius encourages readers to look beyond the surface level of their words and uncover the fundamental agreement that lies beneath. The book by Ivan Licciardi delves into Simplicius' approach and shows that his harmonizing attitude is not limited to just Plato and Aristotle but extends to almost the entire pre-Socratic philosophy. This broader perspective stems from Simplicius' desire to defend the profound unity of ancient pagan philosophical traditions, possibly in response to the rise of Christianity. One central focus of the book is Simplicius' extensive treatment of Parmenides in his commentary on Aristotle's Physics. Parmenides is considered a crucial figure in Greek thought, and Simplicius views him as a theoretical milestone in which Plato's philosophy, seeking ultimate truth, is exemplified. Thus, Simplicius interrupts his commentary on Aristotle to discuss Parmenides in detail. Simplicius is not merely a transmitter of Parmenidean thought; rather, he interprets Parmenides to showcase the fundamental unity of the pagan philosophical tradition under the influence of Neoplatonism. The book explores Simplicius as an independent philosopher, historian, and interpreter of Eleatic thought, rather than merely a conduit for transmitting Parmenides' ideas. This approach places Simplicius within the context of late antique Neoplatonism, acknowledging the pivotal role played by late Platonists in shaping the transformation of ancient thought, as it was received by medieval and early modern thinkers. The objective of the book is to comprehensively discuss how Simplicius, in his commentary on Aristotle's Physics, treated Parmenides, examining Simplicius' interpretation and rendering of Parmenides instrumental in demonstrating the fundamental unity of the pagan philosophical tradition, under the auspices of Neoplatonism. In summary, the book offers an in-depth exploration of Simplicius' approach to harmonizing ancient philosophical doctrines, focusing on his interpretation of Parmenides and his broader role in late antique Neoplatonism. By delving into Simplicius' philosophical agenda, the book contributes to the study of late ancient Platonism, shedding light on the transformative period in the history of Western thought.
