| Aristotle's Categories are still widely seen as being incompatible with both Aristotle's later analysis of ousia (in Metaphysics Z) and Plato's ontology. Porphyry's attempt to make sense of this work within a Neoplatonic context is considered, in turn, both as failing to do justice to Aristotle and as directed against Plotinus' purported criticism of Aristotle's Categories . Rainer Thiel shows that the Neoplatonic commentaries on the Categories that go back to Prophyry's reading can be viewed as a valid interpretation of Aristotle which does not contradict Plotinus' view, but in fact can be traced back to him. Plotinus himself does not criticize Aristotle; he does however criticize certain middle-Platonic readings of the Categories. [Author’s abstract] |

| Simplikios aus Kilikien (6. Jhd. n. Chr.) gehört zu den bedeutendsten und neben Alexander von Aphrodisias (2.13. Jhd. n. Chr.) auch in der Moderne am höchsten geschätzten antiken Aristoteles-Kommentatoren. Er ist mit seinem Mitschüler Priskian zusammen der letzte der heidnischen Philosophen der spätantiken platonischen Schule in Athen, von dem uns Werke erhalten sind, ausschließlich Kommentare, und zwar zu Aristoteles’ Kategorienschrift, de caeb, ,Physik' und de anima sowie zu Epiktets Enchiridion.1 Um Missverständnissen vorzubeugen, sei vorab erwähnt, dass, wenn hier von einer platonischen „Schule“ die Rede ist, dies in dem von J. Glucker2 herausgearbeiteten Sinne gemeint ist. Diese Schule war unabhängig von jeder staatlichen Förderung und stand in einer ununterbrochenen institutioneilen Kontinuität weder zur platonischen Akademie (wie schon Olympiodor fälschlich glaubte), noch zu dem unter Mark Aurel eingerichteten3 Athener Lehrstuhl für platonische Philosophie. Sie stand zwar, und sah sich selbst, in der geistigen Nachfolge der von Platon gegründeten Akademie, institutionell handelte es sich jedoch um eine neue Einrichtung, die sich durch ihr privates Vermögen selbst trug. 1927 hatte Karl Praechter in seinem RE-Artikel ‘Simplikios’ die erste zusammenhängende Würdigung dieses platonischen Philosophen und Kom-mentators gegeben, die dessen Bild auf Jahrzehnte bestimmte. 1967 und 1969 hat dann Alan Cameron mit seinen in verschiedenen Fassungen erschienenen Artikeln über das Ende der spätantiken platonischen Schule in Athen eine lebhafte Diskussion über dieses Thema und dabei insbesondere über die Frage angestoßen, wo man sich Simplikios’ Verbleib nach der Rückkehr vom persi¬schen Hof ins Römische Reich und mithin den Entstehungsort aller oder der meisten seiner Kommentare denken darf.7 Wenn dieses Thema hier noch ein¬mal aufgegriffen wird, so in der Überzeugung, dass eine zusammenfassende Würdigung der bislang vorgebrachten Argumente und die Erörterung einiger wichtiger Umstände, die in der bisherigen Diskussion keine oder nur eine ge¬ringe Rolle gespielt haben, zu einem ausgewogeneren Bild führen werden.

| The text presents an analysis of the Stoic ethics and its placement within the Neoplatonic system, particularly in Simplicius' commentary on Epictetus' Enchiridion. It explores how the Neoplatonic tradition emerged as a unified philosophical school, leading to the disappearance of conflicting philosophical schools. Despite the Stoic teachings being present in Neoplatonic works, they are generally treated critically and dismissed as opposed to the Aristotelian position. The text then delves into the Neoplatonic system of virtues, starting with Plato's four cardinal virtues, which were further developed by Neoplatonists. It highlights Plotinus' view that the political virtues alone are not sufficient for the soul's ascent to divine perfection, as they are related to the material world. Instead, Plotinus introduces the concept of "purifications" as the virtues that enable the soul to detach from bodily passions and elevate itself towards the divine. The abstract concludes by emphasizing the relevance of Simplikios' application of this Neoplatonic virtue system to Epictetus' Enchiridion, positioning it as an essential tool for the soul's progress towards resemblance to the divine.

Zur Verortung der stoischen Ethik im neuplatonischen System in Simplikios' Kommentar zu Epiktets Enchiridion"},"abstract":"The text presents an analysis of the Stoic ethics and its placement within the Neoplatonic system, particularly in Simplicius' commentary on Epictetus' Enchiridion. It explores how the Neoplatonic tradition emerged as a unified philosophical school, leading to the disappearance of conflicting philosophical schools. Despite the Stoic teachings being present in Neoplatonic works, they are generally treated critically and dismissed as opposed to the Aristotelian position. The text then delves into the Neoplatonic system of virtues, starting with Plato's four cardinal virtues, which were further developed by Neoplatonists. It highlights Plotinus' view that the political virtues alone are not sufficient for the soul's ascent to divine perfection, as they are related to the material world. Instead, Plotinus introduces the concept of \"purifications\" as the virtues that enable the soul to detach from bodily passions and elevate itself towards the divine. The abstract concludes by emphasizing the relevance of Simplikios' application of this Neoplatonic virtue system to Epictetus' Enchiridion, positioning it as an essential tool for the soul's progress towards resemblance to the divine.
