| In the list of Theophrastus’ works on rhetoric and poetics as given in the new collection under 666 FHS&G one finds twenty-four items, some of them (2 and 17) subdivided into (a) and (b). Most of these titles come from the list of Theophrastus’ works in Diogenes Laertius 5.42- 50. In all but five cases (2, 6,17, 22 and 23, the last two on comedy and on the ludicrous respectively), Diogenes is our only source for them. The responsible editor, W. W. Fortenbaugh, also refers to several titles of works which other scholars had placed in the group of rhetorical trea tises, but his classification is different. This variation is explained by the fact that Diogenes’ list does not give any indication of the type of work to which any title belongs, which leaves scholars free to devise their own arrangement.In what follows I will discuss the place or the wording of a few titles, and especially that of 17b, thereby focusing on the nature and contents of 683 FHS&G. The editors have declined to arrange the fragments ac cording to known works (cp. vol. I, pp. 7-8). Nevertheless, I will argue, even by their arrangement of the titles they sometimes suggest too much, or too little. [Introduction, p. 67] |

| In this text, the author analyzes the contents of Philoponus' commentary on Aristotle's Physics and investigates the extent to which it reflects Theophrastus' thought. Specifically, the author focuses on a passage in which Philoponus discusses the notion of composition involved in physical forms and powers. The author argues that the parallels in wording and doctrine between Philoponus' later discussions and the earlier commentary suggest that Philoponus was the intellectual author of the passage. Furthermore, the author proposes that Philoponus included this passage to provide an explanation for Theophrastus' claim that physical forms are composite, in light of the classification of substances in the Categories commentary.

Apart from two botanical works, a collection of character sketches, and several scientific opuscula, his works survive only through quotations and reports in secondary sources. Recently these quotations and reports have been collected and published, thereby making the thought of Theophrastus accessible to a wide audience. The present volume contains seventeen responses to this material.\r\n\r\nThere are chapters dealing with Theophrastus' views on logic, physics, biology, ethics, politics, rhetoric, and music, as well as the life of Theophrastus. Together these writings throw considerable light on fundamental questions concerning the development and importance of the Peripatos in the early Hellenistic period. The authors consider whether Theophrastus was a systematic thinker who imposed coherence and consistency on a growing body of knowledge, or a problem-oriented thinker who foreshadowed the dissolution of Peripatetic thought into various loosely connected disciplines. Of special interest are those essays which deal with Theophrastus' intellectual position in relation to the lively philosophic scene occupied by such contemporaries as Zeno, the founder of the Stoa, and Epicurus, the founder of the Garden, as well as Xenocrates and Polemon hi the Academy, and Theophrastus' fellow Peripatetics, Eudemus and Strato.\r\n\r\nThe contributors to the volume are Suzanne Amigues, Antonio Battegazzore, Tiziano Dorandi, Woldemar Gorier, John Glucker, Hans Gottschalk, Frans de Haas, Andre Laks, Anthony Long, Jorgen Mejer, Mario Mignucci, Trevor Saunders, Dirk Schenkeveld, David Sedley, Robert Sharpies, C. M. J. Sicking and Richard Sorabji. The Rutgers University Studies in Classical Humanities series is a forum for seminal thinking in the field of philosophy, and this volume is no exception. Theophrastus is a landmark achievement in intellectual thought. Philosophers, historians, and classicists will all find this work to be enlightening.

Recently these quotations and reports have been collected and published, thereby making the thought of Theophrastus accessible to a wide audience. The present volume contains seventeen responses to this material.\r\n\r\nThere are chapters dealing with Theophrastus' views on logic, physics, biology, ethics, politics, rhetoric, and music, as well as the life of Theophrastus. Together these writings throw considerable light on fundamental questions concerning the development and importance of the Peripatos in the early Hellenistic period. The authors consider whether Theophrastus was a systematic thinker who imposed coherence and consistency on a growing body of knowledge, or a problem-oriented thinker who foreshadowed the dissolution of Peripatetic thought into various loosely connected disciplines. Of special interest are those essays which deal with Theophrastus' intellectual position in relation to the lively philosophic scene occupied by such contemporaries as Zeno, the founder of the Stoa, and Epicurus, the founder of the Garden, as well as Xenocrates and Polemon hi the Academy, and Theophrastus' fellow Peripatetics, Eudemus and Strato.\r\n\r\nThe contributors to the volume are Suzanne Amigues, Antonio Battegazzore, Tiziano Dorandi, Woldemar Gorier, John Glucker, Hans Gottschalk, Frans de Haas, Andre Laks, Anthony Long, Jorgen Mejer, Mario Mignucci, Trevor Saunders, Dirk Schenkeveld, David Sedley, Robert Sharpies, C. M. J. Sicking and Richard Sorabji. The Rutgers University Studies in Classical Humanities series is a forum for seminal thinking in the field of philosophy, and this volume is no exception. Theophrastus is a landmark achievement in intellectual thought. Philosophers, historians, and classicists will all find this work to be enlightening.

In the list of Theophrastus’ works on rhetoric and poetics as given in the new collection under 666 FHS&G one finds twenty-four items, some of them (2 and 17) subdivided into (a) and (b). Most of these titles come from the list of Theophrastus’ works in Diogenes Laertius 5.42- 50. In all but five cases (2, 6,17, 22 and 23, the last two on comedy and on the ludicrous respectively), Diogenes is our only source for them. The responsible editor, W. W. Fortenbaugh, also refers to several titles of works which other scholars had placed in the group of rhetorical trea tises, but his classification is different. This variation is explained by the fact that Diogenes’ list does not give any indication of the type of work to which any title belongs, which leaves scholars free to devise their own arrangement.In what follows I will discuss the place or the wording of a few titles, and especially that of 17b, thereby focusing on the nature and contents of 683 FHS&G. The editors have declined to arrange the fragments ac cording to known works (cp. vol. I, pp. 7-8). Nevertheless, I will argue, even by their arrangement of the titles they sometimes suggest too much, or too little. [Introduction, p. 67] |
