The collection of nineteen articles in Jaap Mansfeld’s Studies in Early Greek Philosophy span the period from Anaximander to Socrates. Solutions to problems of interpretation are offered through a scrutiny of the sources, and also of the traditions of presentation and reception found in antiquity. Excursions in the history of scholarship help to diagnose discussions of which the primum movens may have been forgotten. General questions are treated, for instance the phenomenon of detheologization in doxographical texts, while problems relating to individual philosophers are also discussed. For example, the history of Anaximander’s cosmos, the status of Parmenides’ human world, and the reliability of what we know about the soul of Anaximenes, and of what Philoponus tells us about the behaviour of Democritus’ atoms.

Unter Hinweis auf Cicero, Lucullus ( = Academica priom II) 118 und 123, Tusculanae disputationes 1 18 ff. und De nutum deorum I 25 ff. hat Hermann Dieis diese Frage bekanntlich bejaht.1 Die wichtigste Stelle, auf die ich mich aus mehreren Gründen beschränke,2 ist dabei der Passus über die Prinzipien Luc. 118, wo der Dissens (dissensio, Luc. 117) der Philosophen von Thaies bis zu Platon und den Pythagoreern kritisiert wird. Diels hat hier ganz auf­ fallend argumentiert. Zum einen hat er, teilweise zu Recht, hingewiesen auf Übereinstimmungen zwischen Luc. 118 und den entsprechenden Theophrastfragmenten bzw. Paraphrasen in Simplikios’ Kommentar zur ari­ stotelischen Physik, die Usener und er den Phys. op. zugewiesen haben.3 Als nächstes aber hat er Luc. 119-121 über die stoische Theorie der Vorsehung (SVFI I 92 u. 1161) und über Aristoteles’ {Dephilos. fr. 20 Ross) und Stratons (fr. 32 Wehrli) entgegengesetzte Auffassungen ausgeklammert, weil dieses Stück nicht auf Theophrast zurückgeführt werden könne. Aus den nach­ folgenden Paragraphen, die über verschiedene Ansichten von den Himmelskörpern und der Erde referieren, hat er schliesslich 123 “Hiketas von Syrakus, wie Theophrast sagt” {Hicetas Syracosius, ut ait Theophrastus . . . ) usw. wieder als Beweis dafür angezogen, dass die doxographische Übersicht zur Astronomie aus den Phys. op. stamme. In der Nachfolge Kri- sches hatte schliesslich schon Diels zu Recht bemerkt, dass Ciceros unmittelbare Quelle ein Akademiker, wohl ein Karneadesschüler, sein müsse. Das Textstück über Hiketas (auch abgedruckt Vorsokr. 51.1) hat er als Phys. op. fr. 18 aufgenommen {DG 492-3). Es ist dies der einzige Cicerotext in der betreffenden Dielsschen Sammlung.

Students of Middle Platonism are familiar with the phenomenon that the accounts of the divine provided by various authors of the 2nd cent. CE strike one as incoherent.1 Qualifications according to the viae negationis, analogiae, and eminentiae, which to us seem incompatible to a degree, tend to coexist in a peaceful jumble. On the one hand, the essence or nature of God is described by means of a refusal to predicate any attributes whatsoever. Attributes with­ held in this way may be arranged in polar pairs. On the other hand, God’s exis­ tence as a supreme cause tends to be described in a positive way by means, e.g., of varieties of the argumentum ex gradibus entium. The theology of ch. 10 of Alkinoos’ Didaskalikos is a notorious instance of such a medley. [p. 92]

Of Zeno's four arguments against the reality of motion transmitted by Aristotle, the fourth, the so-called Stadium (Vors. 29 A 28), is perhaps the most difficult. The difficulties in- volved are of two sorts: philological problems on the one hand, questions of a philosophical nature on the other. In the present paper, I am concerned with the first sort, not the second, al- though I shall perhaps not be successful in keeping the latter out altogether. A study of the philosophical discussions to be found in the learned literature, however, has convinced me that the first problem to be solved is that of the interpretation of Ari- stotle's text. There is a general feeling that Aristotle, in reporting and arguing against Zeno's argument, somehow failed. I believe his report is sufficiently clear; although Aristotle's argument contra Zeno is not, perhaps, satisfactory in every respect, Zeno's original paradox can be found in his text. I shall attempt to show that, in order to find it, we must begin by taking both the topo- graphy of the stadium and the position of the bodies in it into account, which several recent reconstructions, however satis- factory they may appear to be in other respects, fail to do. [Introduction, p. 1]

Of Zeno's four arguments against the reality of motion transmitted by Aristotle, the fourth, the so-called Stadium (Vors. 29 A 28), is perhaps the most difficult. The difficulties in- volved are of two sorts: philological problems on the one hand, questions of a philosophical nature on the other. In the present paper, I am concerned with the first sort, not the second, al- though I shall perhaps not be successful in keeping the latter out altogether. A study of the philosophical discussions to be found in the learned literature, however, has convinced me that the first problem to be solved is that of the interpretation of Ari- stotle's text. There is a general feeling that Aristotle, in reporting and arguing against Zeno's argument, somehow failed. I believe his report is sufficiently clear; although Aristotle's argument contra Zeno is not, perhaps, satisfactory in every respect, Zeno's original paradox can be found in his text. I shall attempt to show that, in order to find it, we must begin by taking both the topo- graphy of the stadium and the position of the bodies in it into account, which several recent reconstructions, however satis- factory they may appear to be in other respects, fail to do. [Introduction, p. 1]

Unter Hinweis auf Cicero, Lucullus ( =  Academica priom II)  118 und 123, 
Tusculanae disputationes 1 18 ff.  und De nutum deorum I  25  ff.  hat Hermann 
Dieis diese Frage bekanntlich bejaht.1 Die wichtigste Stelle, auf die ich mich 
aus  mehreren  Gründen beschränke,2 ist dabei der Passus über die Prinzipien 
Luc.  118, wo der Dissens (dissensio, Luc.  117) der Philosophen von Thaies bis 
zu  Platon  und  den  Pythagoreern  kritisiert  wird.  Diels  hat  hier  ganz  auf­
fallend argumentiert.  Zum  einen  hat er, teilweise zu  Recht, hingewiesen auf 
Übereinstimmungen  zwischen  Luc.  118  und  den  entsprechenden 
Theophrastfragmenten  bzw.  Paraphrasen in Simplikios’ Kommentar zur ari­
stotelischen Physik,  die Usener und  er den Phys.  op.  zugewiesen  haben.3 Als 
nächstes  aber  hat  er Luc.  119-121  über die  stoische  Theorie  der Vorsehung 
(SVFI I 92 u. 1161) und über Aristoteles’ {Dephilos.  fr. 20 Ross) und Stratons 
(fr.  32  Wehrli)  entgegengesetzte  Auffassungen  ausgeklammert,  weil  dieses 
Stück  nicht  auf Theophrast  zurückgeführt  werden  könne.  Aus  den  nach­
folgenden  Paragraphen,  die  über  verschiedene  Ansichten  von  den 
Himmelskörpern  und  der  Erde  referieren,  hat  er  schliesslich  123  “Hiketas 
von  Syrakus,  wie  Theophrast  sagt”  {Hicetas  Syracosius,  ut ait Theophrastus 
. . . )   usw.  wieder  als  Beweis  dafür  angezogen,  dass  die  doxographische 
Übersicht zur Astronomie  aus  den  Phys.  op.  stamme.  In  der Nachfolge  Kri- 
sches  hatte  schliesslich  schon  Diels  zu  Recht  bemerkt,  dass  Ciceros 
unmittelbare Quelle ein Akademiker, wohl ein Karneadesschüler, sein müsse. 
Das Textstück über Hiketas (auch abgedruckt Vorsokr.  51.1) hat er als Phys. op. 
fr.  18  aufgenommen  {DG  492-3).  Es  ist  dies  der  einzige  Cicerotext  in  der 
betreffenden  Dielsschen Sammlung. [Introduction, p. 133]

The collection of nineteen articles in Jaap Mansfeld’s Studies in Early Greek Philosophy span the period from Anaximander to Socrates. Solutions to problems of interpretation are offered through a scrutiny of the sources, and also of the traditions of presentation and reception found in antiquity. Excursions in the history of scholarship help to diagnose discussions of which the primum movens may have been forgotten. General questions are treated, for instance the phenomenon of detheologization in doxographical texts, while problems relating to individual philosophers are also discussed. For example, the history of Anaximander’s cosmos, the status of Parmenides’ human world, and the reliability of what we know about the soul of Anaximenes, and of what Philoponus tells us about the behaviour of Democritus’ atoms.
