Specifically, it focuses on Pierre Hadot\u2019s hypothesis, according to which some Neoplatonic authors, such as Porphyry, and under his influence Marius Victorinus and Dexippus, presupposed a common genus of being or substance in the Aristotelian sense, encompassing various ontological levels of the Platonic universe, namely the intelligible and sensible being or substance.\r\n\r\nA comprehensive analysis of relevant texts of Neoplatonic interpreters of and commentators on Aristotle\u2019s writings shows that Hadot\u2019s hypothesis is not tenable. In fact, Neoplatonists from Plotinus to Porphyry and Dexippus to Simplicius presupposed one genus of intelligible substance, which is the source of being for every other substance, including the sensible substance. Nevertheless, the intelligible substance or being is the \"highest genus\" only in the sense of Plato\u2019s Sophist, and not in the sense of Aristotle\u2019s Categories. Accordingly, the relationship between the highest \"genus\" and other \"arts\" of substance is not regarded as one of synonymy but as one of homonymy. More precisely, this is not homonymy \"by chance\" but homonymy \"by intention,\" which can be specified as homonymy \"based on analogy,\" \"based on derivation from a single source,\" or \"based on relation to a single thing.\"\r\n\r\nMoreover, the author argues that the crucial passage from Victorinus\u2019s Against Arius Ib, which Hadot considered the main basis for his hypothesis, allows an alternative reading that is fully in accordance with the Neoplatonic doctrine as reconstructed in the article.
