Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Categories is the most comprehensive philosophical critique of the work ever written, representing 600 years of criticism. In his Categories, Aristotle divides what exists in the sensible world into ten categories of Substance, Quantity, Relative, Quality and so on. Simplicius starts with a survey of previous commentators, and an introductory set of questions about Aristotle's philosophy and about the Categories in particular. The commentator, he says, needs to present Plato and Aristotle as in harmony on most things. Why are precisely ten categories named, given that Plato did with fewer distinctions? We have a survey of views on this. And where in the scheme of categories would one fit a quality that defines a substance - under substance or under quality? In his own commentary, Porphyry suggested classifying a defining quality as something distinct, a substantial quality, but others objected that this would constitute an eleventh. The most persistent question dealt with here is whether the categories classify words, concepts, or things. [offical abstract]

[Simplicius'] moral interpretation of Epictetus is preserved in the library of nations, as a classic book, most excellently adapted to direct the will, to purify the heart, and to confirm the understanding, by a just confidence in the nature both of God and man.' Edward Gibbon 'This book, written by a "pagan" philosopher, makes the most Christian impression conceivable. The betrayal of all reality through morality is here present in its fullest splendour - pitiful psychology, the philosopher is reduced to a country parson. And Plato is to blame for all of it! He remains Europe's greatest misfortune!' Fredrich Nietzsche Of these two rival reactions the favourable one was most common. Epictetus' Handbook on ethics was used in Christian monasteries, and Simplicius' commentary on it was widely available up to the nineteenth century. The commentary gives us a fascinating chance to see how a pagan Neoplatonist transformed Stoic ideas, adding Neoplatonist accounts of theology, theodicy, providence, free will and the problem of evil. This translation of the Commentary on the Handbook is published in two volumes. This is the first, covering chapters 1-26; the second covers chapters 27-53. [offical abstact]

The Enchiridion or Handbook of the first-century Ad Stoic Epictetus was used as an ethical treatise both in Christian monasteries and by the sixth-century pagan Neoplatonist Simplicius. Simplicius chose it for beginners, rather than Aristotle's Ethics, because it presupposed no knowledge of logic. We thus get a fascinating chance to see how a pagan Neoplatonist transformed Stoic ideas. The text was relevant to Simplicius because he too, like Epictetus, was teaching beginners how to take the first steps towards eradicating emotion, although he is unlike Epictetus in thinking that they should give up public life rather than acquiesce, if public office is denied them. Simplicius starts from a Platonic definition of the person as rational soul, not body, ignoring Epictetus' further whittling down of himself to just his will or policy decisions. He selects certain topics for special attention in chapters 1, 8, 27 and 31. Things are up to us, despite Fate. Our sufferings are not evil, but providential attempts to turn us from the body. Evil is found only in the human soul. But evil is parasitic (Proclus' term) on good. The gods exist, are provident, and cannot be bought off.With nearly all of this the Stoics would agree, but for quite different reasons, and their own distinctions and definitions are to a large extent ignored. This translation of the Handbook is published in two volumes. This is the second volume, covering chapters 27-53; the first covers chapters 1-26. [offical abstact]

Aristotle's Physics is about the causes of motion and culminates in a proof that God is needed as the ultimate cause of motion. Aristotle argues that things in motion need to be moved by something other than themselves - he rejects Plato's self-movers. On pain of regress, there must be an unmoved mover. If this unmoved mover is to cause motion eternally, it needs infinite power. It cannot, then, be a body, since bodies, being of finite size, cannot house infinite power. The unmoved mover is therefore an incorporeal God. Simplicius reveals that his teacher, Ammonius, harmonised Aristotle with Plato to counter Christian charges of pagan disagreement, by making Aristotle's God a cause of beginningless movement, but of beginningless existence of the universe. Eternal existence, not less than eternal motion, calls for an infinite, and hence incorporeal, force. By an irony, this anti-Christian interpretation turned Aristotle's God from a thinker into a certain kind of Creator, and so helped to make Aristotle's God acceptable to St Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century. This text provides a translation of Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's work. [offical abstract]

Le philosophe néoplatonicien Simplicius a vécu au VIe siècle de notre ère. Originaire de Cilicie en Asie Mineure, il se rendit en Perse accompagné de six autres philosophes, probablement à la suite d'un décret de Justinien leur interdisant d'enseigner et de percevoir un salaire public. Il rentra dans son pays suite au traité de paix conclu en 532 entre le roi Perse Chosroès et Justinien, et s'installa à Harrân, ville de l'Empire Byzantin proche de la frontière perse. C'est là qu'il composa les cinq commentaires qui nous sont parvenus sous son nom. Parmi ces commentaires, celui traitant du Manuel d'Epictète est le seul qui ne soit pas consacré à un traité aristotélicien. Comment expliquer le fait que Simplicius, philosophe platonicien, ait commenté les maximes éthiques d'un stoïcien ? Les néoplatoniciens, depuis Porphyres, avaient défini un canon de quatre degrés de vertus : les vertus civiles ou politiques, les vertus cathartiques, les vertus théorétiques et les vertus paradigmatiques. Lorsqu'on parvenait au degré le plus élevé des vertus, la séparation de l'âme et du corps était totalement accomplie. Néanmoins, avant de parvenir à cet état d'apathéia, une instruction éthique préparatoire était nécessaire pour atteindre le premier degré des vertus. Ainsi, pour Simplicius, le Manuel d'Epictète représentait une propédeutique à la pratique morale visant au premier degré des vertus, les vertus civiles ou politiques. Par la lecture des sentences du philosophe stoïcien, le disciple pouvait parvenir à la domination des passions par la raison avant de s'élever vers la contemplation de l'Intellect, qui représente pour les platoniciens le niveau d'être le plus élevé. Le premier volume du Commentaire sur le Manuel d'Epictète dans la Collection des Universités de France comprend le texte de Simplicius accompagné de la traduction d'Ilsetraut Hadot. Le traité est précédé d'une introduction dans laquelle sont présentés la vie et l'oeuvre du philosophe, les enjeux philosophiques du Commentaire, ainsi que l'histoire du texte. [offical abstract]

Originaire de Cilicie en Asie Mineure, il se rendit en Perse accompagn\u00e9 de six autres philosophes, probablement \u00e0 la suite d'un d\u00e9cret de Justinien leur interdisant d'enseigner et de percevoir un salaire public. Il rentra dans son pays suite au trait\u00e9 de paix conclu en 532 entre le roi Perse Chosro\u00e8s et Justinien, et s'installa \u00e0 Harr\u00e2n, ville de l'Empire Byzantin proche de la fronti\u00e8re perse. C'est l\u00e0 qu'il composa les cinq commentaires qui nous sont parvenus sous son nom. Parmi ces commentaires, celui traitant du Manuel d'Epict\u00e8te est le seul qui ne soit pas consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 un trait\u00e9 aristot\u00e9licien. Comment expliquer le fait que Simplicius, philosophe platonicien, ait comment\u00e9 les maximes \u00e9thiques d'un sto\u00efcien ? Les n\u00e9oplatoniciens, depuis Porphyres, avaient d\u00e9fini un canon de quatre degr\u00e9s de vertus : les vertus civiles ou politiques, les vertus cathartiques, les vertus th\u00e9or\u00e9tiques et les vertus paradigmatiques. Lorsqu'on parvenait au degr\u00e9 le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 des vertus, la s\u00e9paration de l'\u00e2me et du corps \u00e9tait totalement accomplie. N\u00e9anmoins, avant de parvenir \u00e0 cet \u00e9tat d'apath\u00e9ia, une instruction \u00e9thique pr\u00e9paratoire \u00e9tait n\u00e9cessaire pour atteindre le premier degr\u00e9 des vertus. Ainsi, pour Simplicius, le Manuel d'Epict\u00e8te repr\u00e9sentait une prop\u00e9deutique \u00e0 la pratique morale visant au premier degr\u00e9 des vertus, les vertus civiles ou politiques. Par la lecture des sentences du philosophe sto\u00efcien, le disciple pouvait parvenir \u00e0 la domination des passions par la raison avant de s'\u00e9lever vers la contemplation de l'Intellect, qui repr\u00e9sente pour les platoniciens le niveau d'\u00eatre le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9. Le premier volume du Commentaire sur le Manuel d'Epict\u00e8te dans la Collection des Universit\u00e9s de France comprend le texte de Simplicius accompagn\u00e9 de la traduction d'Ilsetraut Hadot. Le trait\u00e9 est pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 d'une introduction dans laquelle sont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s la vie et l'oeuvre du philosophe, les enjeux philosophiques du Commentaire, ainsi que l'histoire du texte.

Aristotle classified the things in the world into ten categories: substance, quantity, quality, relative, and six others. Plotinus, the founder of Neoplatonism, attacked the classification, accepting only these first four categories, rejecting the other six, and adding one of this own: change. He preferred Plato's classification into five kinds which included change. In this part of his commentary, Simplicius records the controversy on the six categories which Plotinus rejected: acting, being acted upon, being in a position, when, where, and having on. Plotinus' pupil and editor, Porphyry, defended all six categories as applicable to the physical world, even if not to the world of Platonic Forms to which Platonist studies must eventually progress. Porphyry's pupil, lamblichus, went further: taken in a suitable sense, Aristotle's categories apply also to the world of Forms, although they require Pythagorean reinterpretation. Simplicius may be closer to Porphyry that to lamblichus, and indeed Porphyry's defence established Aristotle's categories once and for all in Western thought. But the probing controversy of this period none the less revealed more effectively than any discussion of modern times the profound difficulties in Aristotle's categorical scheme. [offical abstract]

In On the Soul 3.1-5, Aristotle goes beyond the five sense to the general functions of sense perception, the imagination and the so-called active intellect, the of which was still a matter of controversy in the time of Thomas Aquinas. In his commentary on Aristotle's text, 'Simplicius' insists that the intellect in question is not something transcendental but the human rational soul. He denies both Plotinus' view that a part of the soul has never descended from uninterrupted contemplation of the Platonic Forms, and Proclus' view that the soul cannot be changed in its substance through embodiment. He also denies that imagination sees things as true or false, which requires awareness of one's own cognitions. He thinks that imagination works by projecting imprints. In the case of mathematics, it can make the imprints more like shapes taken on during sense perception or more like concepts, which calls for lines without breadth. He acknowledges that Aristotle would not agree to reify these concepts as substances, but thinks of mathematical entities as mere abstractions. Addressing the vexed question of authorship, H. J. Blumenthal concludes that the commentary was written neither by Simplicius nor Priscian. In a novel interpretation, he suggests that if Priscian had any hand in this commentary, it might have been as editor of notes from Simplicius' lectures. [offical abstract]

Simplicius, the greatest surviving ancient authority on Aristotle's Physics, lived in the sixth century A.D. He produced detailed commentaries on several of Aristotle's works. Those on the Physics, which alone come to over 1,300 pages in the original Greek, preserve a centuries-old tradition of ancient scholarship on Aristotle. In Physics Book 5 Aristotle lays down some of the principles of his dynamics and theory of change. What does not count as a change: change of relation? the flux of time? There is no change of change, yet acceleration is recognised. Aristotle defines 'continuous', 'contact', and 'next', and uses these definitions in discussing when we can claim that the same change or event is still going on. This volume is complemented by David Konstan's translation of Simplicius' commentary on Physics Book 6, which has already appeared in this series. It is Book 6 that gives spatial application to the terms defined in Book 5, and uses them to mount a celebrated attack on atomism. Simplicius' commentaries enrich our understanding of the Physics and of its interpretation in the ancient world.

The significance of Simplicius' commentary lies in the fact that it is a Neoplatonist interpretation of a Stoic text. This volume presents the first critical edition based on all the known manuscripts of this work and offers, in contrast to the edition of Schweighäuser (1800) and the recapitulation of this edition by Dübner (1840), a text which is more complete and improved. A long introduction places the work in the philosophical and historical context of its time and characterises it as a spiritual exercise.

Le philosophe néoplatonicien Simplicius a vécu au VIe siècle de notre ère. Originaire de Cilicie en Asie Mineure, il se rendit en Perse accompagné de six autres philosophes, probablement à la suite d'un décret de Justinien leur interdisant d'enseigner et de percevoir un salaire public. Il rentra dans son pays suite au traité de paix conclu en 532 entre le roi Perse Chosroès et Justinien, et s'installa à Harrân, ville de l'Empire Byzantin proche de la frontière perse. C'est là qu'il composa les cinq commentaires qui nous sont parvenus sous son nom. Parmi ces commentaires, celui traitant du Manuel d'Epictète est le seul qui ne soit pas consacré à un traité aristotélicien. Comment expliquer le fait que Simplicius, philosophe platonicien, ait commenté les maximes éthiques d'un stoïcien ? Les néoplatoniciens, depuis Porphyres, avaient défini un canon de quatre degrés de vertus : les vertus civiles ou politiques, les vertus cathartiques, les vertus théorétiques et les vertus paradigmatiques. Lorsqu'on parvenait au degré le plus élevé des vertus, la séparation de l'âme et du corps était totalement accomplie. Néanmoins, avant de parvenir à cet état d'apathéia, une instruction éthique préparatoire était nécessaire pour atteindre le premier degré des vertus. Ainsi, pour Simplicius, le Manuel d'Epictète représentait une propédeutique à la pratique morale visant au premier degré des vertus, les vertus civiles ou politiques. Par la lecture des sentences du philosophe stoïcien, le disciple pouvait parvenir à la domination des passions par la raison avant de s'élever vers la contemplation de l'Intellect, qui représente pour les platoniciens le niveau d'être le plus élevé. Le premier volume du Commentaire sur le Manuel d'Epictète dans la Collection des Universités de France comprend le texte de Simplicius accompagné de la traduction d'Ilsetraut Hadot. Le traité est précédé d'une introduction dans laquelle sont présentés la vie et l'oeuvre du philosophe, les enjeux philosophiques du Commentaire, ainsi que l'histoire du texte. [offical abstract]

Le Livre ii de la Physique d’Aristote est une « véritable introduction à la philosophie de la nature » (Mansion). Après avoir dans le chapitre 1 donné sa fameuse définition de la nature comme « principe et cause de mouvement et de repos pour la chose en laquelle elle réside à titre premier par soi et non par accident », le Stagirite dans le chapitre 2 traite de la différence entre mathématiques et physique. Le chapitre 3, qui constitue « l’exposé le plus complet de l’étiologie aristotélicienne » (Crubellier-Pellegrin), livre la doctrine des quatre causes. Les chapitres 4 à 6 portent sur le hasard et la spontanéité. Dans le chapitre 8 est défendue la thèse du finalisme dans la nature et le chapitre 9 établit la distinction entre nécessité absolue et nécessité hypothétique.
Simplicius de Cilicie, le dernier philosophe de l’École néoplatonicienne d’Athènes, a rédigé son commentaire sur la Physique vers 540, après son exil temporaire chez le roi de Perse Chosroès, et le commentaire au seul Livre ii de la Phusikê Akroasis d’Aristote constitue une somme de la philosophie de la nature de l’Antiquité tardive. Il n’existe pas à ce jour de traduction française intégrale du commentaire de Simplicius à la Physique.
Le présent volume contient la traduction annotée du commentaire au Livre ii, chap. 1-3, accompagnée par un résumé analytique du commentaire à Phys. ii, 1-3, la liste des modifications apportées aux texte grec établi par Diels (1882), un index des termes grecs, un index des noms anciens, une bibliographie. Il sera suivi de deux autres qui contiendront la traduction du commentaire aux, respectivement, chapitres 4-6 et 7-9 du Livre ii de la Physique. [author's abstract]

Is there such a thing as three-dimensional space? Is space inert or dynamic? Is the division of time into past, present and future real? Does the whole of time exist all at once? Does it progress smoothly or by discontinuous leaps?
Simplicius surveys ideas about place and time from the preceding thousand years of Greek Philosophy and reveals the extraordinary ingenuity of the late Neoplatonist theories, which he regards as marking a substantial advance on all previous ideas.
