Its movement was inferred from the observable motions of the fixed stars, with these being explained as the apparent motions of an immobile celestial sphere. (Evidence for Heraclides\u2019 special theories of the motions of Mercury and Venus will be discussed in the next two chapters: first by Alan C. Bowen and Robert B. Todd, and then by Paul Keyser.) The passages translated here (T1\u20136) go well beyond the brief reports found in the relevant \u201cfragments\u201d of modern editions (65C, 66\u20139, and 71 in volume XIV = 104\u20138 and 110 W). These fragments, drawn from secondary reports, consist only of the immediate context of passages in which Heraclides is named, in line with a practice prob-ably best known from Edelstein\u2019s and Kidd\u2019s edition of Posidonius\u2019 fragments. But such limited parcels of evidence (enclosed in our translations by \/\/\u2026\/\/) cannot indicate why Heraclides was mentioned within larger expositions. To be sure, such collections of source material are useful, but they have to be selective for pragmatic reasons and therefore also need to be complemented by the sort of project undertaken here, particularly where the focus is on one of antiquity\u2019s most famous anticipations of modern cosmology, and where the contexts for the earliest references to it reveal the historical and theoretical framework within which it was received. To the authors in question Heraclides may have been just a footnote, but the texts to which his theory was attached amply repay careful study.

He studied with Aristotle in Plato's Academy, and became a respected member of that school. During Plato's third trip to Sicily, Heraclides served as head of the Academy and was almost elected its head on the death of Speusippus.Heraclides' interests were diverse. He wrote on the movements of the planets and the basic matter of the universe. He adopted a materialistic theory of soul, which he considered immortal and subject to reincarnation. He discussed pleasure, and like Aristotle, he commented on the Homeric poems. In addition, he concerned himself with religion, music and medical issues. None of Heraclides' works have survived intact, but in antiquity his dialogues were much admired and often pillaged for sententiae and the like.The contributions presented here comment on Heraclides' life and thought. They include La Tradizione Papirologica di Eraclide Pontico by Tiziano Dorandi, Heraclides' Intellectual Context by Jorgen Mejer, and Heraclides of Pontus and the Philosophical Dialogue by Matthew Fox. There is also discussion of Heraclides' understanding of pleasure and of the human soul: Heraclides on Pleasure by Eckart Schutrumpf and Heraclides on the Soul and Its Ancient Readers by Inna Kupreeva. In addition, there are essays that address Heraclides' physics and astronomical theories: Unjointed Masses: A Note on Heraclides Physical Theory by Robert W. Sharples; Heliocentrism in or out of Heraclides by Paul T. Keyser, The Reception of Heraclides' Theory of the Rotation of the Earth from Posidonius to Simplicius: Texts, Contexts and Continuities by Robert B. Todd and Alan C. Bowen, and Heraclides of Pontus on the Motions of Venus and Mercury by Alan C. Bowen and Robert B. Todd.

A study of the De mixtione with Preliminary Essays, Text, Translation and Commentary","main_title":{"title":"Alexander of Aphrodisias on Stoic Physics. A study of the De mixtione with Preliminary Essays, Text, Translation and Commentary"},"abstract":"The importance of Alexander of Aphrodisias in the Aristotelian \r\ntradition in Western philosophy is well established. This reputa\u203a\r\ntion however rests almost exclusively on his very influential inter\u203a\r\npretation of Aristotle\u2019s doctrine of the active intellect. The subject \r\nof the present study, the de mixtione, is a treatise in which he deals \r\nwith the philosophically less important topic of the mixture of \r\nphysical bodies. My aim is to show that both as an exposition of \r\nAristotelian thought and as an extended discussion of Stoic physics \r\nit offers an excellent opportunity to observe the development of \r\nPeripatetic scholasticism in the face of ideas developed in post\u203a\r\nAristotelian philosophy. In this way I shall try to establish the \r\nlargely unacknowledged importance of Alexander\u2019s contribution to \r\nthe Greek philosophical tradition. \r\nAlexander is still unfortunately a relatively obscure author \r\nand so I have devoted Part One of this study to a basic description \r\nof his works and a preliminary attempt to place him in his intel\u203a\r\nlectual milieu. His philosophical creativity, as this essay will show, \r\nhas greater rein in his short treatises than in his monumental \r\ncommentaries, and it is from these works that his relation to other \r\nphilosophical schools can best be gauged. Like his de Jato the \r\nde mixtione is basically an attack on the Stoics, but it also contains \r\na great deal of important source material and some constructive \r\ncriticisms of Stoic physics. Much of this I shall evaluate in a com\u203a\r\nmentary in Part Three, but these aspects of the work must also \r\nbe seen in the light of similar contributions by our other sources \r\nfor Stoic physics as well as Alexander\u2019s own overall relation to \r\nStoicism. For this reason in Part Two I survey the latter before \r\nundertaking an extended examination of Alexander\u2019s exposition \r\nand critique of the Stoic theory of total blending (xpiia~<; 8~\u2019 lSAwv), the main subject of the de mixtione.
