This paper is a piece of detective work. Starting from an obvious excrescence inthe transmitted text of Simplicius's treatment of the foundations of Presocraticatomism near the beginning of his Physicscommentary, it excavates a Theophrasteancorrection to Aristotle's tendency to lump Leucippus and Democritus together: Theophrastus made application of the οὐ μᾶλλον principle in the sphere of ontol-ogy an innovation by Democritus. Along the way it shows Simplicius reorderinghis Theophrastean source in his efforts to nd material which will strengthen thecontrast between Leucippus's atomism and Eleatic metaphysics. And it arguesthat in doing so he all but obliterates TheophrastusÕs attempt to point up theDemocritean credentials of the οὐ μᾶλλον principle. |

t is not my aim in this paper to decide between the opinions of JAEGER and LANZA. I want rather to try to settle a prior question posed by JAEGER'S argument in the extract from his Gifford Lectures printed above. He appeals principally to two texts in advancing his view of Anaxagoras's 'methodical point of departure': a scholium on Gregory of Nazianzus (DK 59 B io) and a bit of Simplicius's commentary on the Physics. Do these texts provide reliable evidence for an interest in nutrition and growth on Anaxagoras's part and for the decisive role of his thinking on these matters in his general theory of matter which JAEGER discerns ? [pp. 1 f.] |
