The main problem with which we shall be concerned is that of the authorship of the versions of de Caelo from the Greek which made their appearance during the thirteenth century. But it will be beSt to begin with a recapitulation o f the fads ascertained by previous writers concerning the Arabic-latin versions in which this treatise to t became known in the lands o f Western Europe.

In this paper I shall first state the problem of the unity of Empedocles' thought, then consider two difficulties in the way of a solution and the effect that not observing them has had, and finally propose and attempt to justify what appears to me to be a reasonable explanation of the problem.

Il avait semblé à Kroll (p. 24) que ce diaphragme était dit doué d’intelligence parce qu’il était dérivé du feu intelligent, et qu’il avait pour rôle de séparer les transmundana des mundana. Il apparaît maintenant, grâce au texte probant de Simplicius, qu’il est dit intelligent en vertu de l’antique association des phrenes avec le nous et qu’il a pour rôle tout à la fois de séparer et de réunir les deux premiers feux-intellects.² Cette doctrine offre de curieuses ressemblances avec le pneuma unifiant de la théologie chrétienne. Il vaudrait la peine de rechercher si c’est à la théologie orthodoxe ou à quelqu’une des sectes gnostiques³ que l’auteur des Oracula l’a empruntée. [conclusion p. 77] |

In recent decades students of mathematics, philosophy, and the classics have again and again raised their voices 1 to vindicate the serious importance of Zeno's paradoxes of motion (Vorsokr.2 29 A 25-28 - Lee,3 nos. 19-36), not even excluding the Stadium. No longer can the problem implied in the paradoxes be disposed of by simply pointing out that time and space are equally divisible. The question which is at the bottom of all four of them is far more profound. [...] Fur- thermore, it has been shown that Aristotle, when qriticizing the paradoxes, was not concerned conscientiously to adjust his objec- tions to that which the historical Zeno had tried to prove, or rather disprove. [...] If it is thus established that Zeno's syllogisms must not necessarily be condemned as a futile play of dialectics 6 and that Aristotle's censure fails to do Zeno justice, a road seems to be open to a full rehabilitation and, perhaps, glorification. But one doubt remains. How adequately did the real Zeno actually deal with the problems he had in hand? And how sincere was he about them? [pp. 1 f.] |

In this passage from Aristotle's De Caelo, he explores why the heavens revolve in one direction rather than the other. He suggests that the universe has a front and a back, which implies a forward motion that is superior to backward motion, just as upward and rightward motions are superior to their respective opposites. Aristotle argues that since nature always follows the best course, the direction of the heaven's revolution must be forward and therefore better. The text is difficult to understand due to possible corruptions, but a comparison with Simplicius' paraphrase suggests that both the subject and object of the main verb are missing and need to be restored.

To summarize, Democritus, who had moved beyond the confusion between point and atom, also avoided the notion of indivisible lines. The people who confused points and atoms probably held a similar theory of motion and space. However, it was not they but Plato who proposed the existence of indivisible lines, driven by his conception of the problem of continuity. This idea, however, was not straightforward to understand, and Plato did not explain it in detail in the dialogues. Anyone reading the Timaeus and knowing that Plato believed in indivisible lines might become confused trying to locate references to them in that dialogue. It was Xenocrates who made the theory widely known, but he further complicated the issue by introducing the concept of the ideal line, potentially adding other misunderstandings. Aristotle described this as "giving in" to a dichotomy argument, which directly suggests Zeno. All this made it easy for those who did not fully grasp the theory to conflate it with the ideas of the point-atomists. The argument is as follows: if indivisible lines exist, then there must also be surfaces that are divided by those indivisible lines, and all surfaces could be reduced to indivisible surfaces. For example, if x is the length of an indivisible line, a surface measuring x by 2x could be divided into two square surfaces with sides of length x. These squares could then be divided diagonally, but no further division would be possible, as this would require either cutting the indivisible length x or creating a line shorter than x. The same logic applies to solids divided along indivisible surfaces. In this reasoning, the indivisible surface is treated as a surface bounded by indivisible lines. This has been noted by the Oxford translator. The author of περὶ ἀτόμων γραμμῶν (Peri atomōn grammōn) either realized, or was informed, that indivisible lines were essentially points but did not recognize that indivisible surfaces were lines. If there existed, alongside Plato's theory of indivisible lines, another theory positing that matter, space, and motion were composed of tiny indivisibles, it would have been easy to conflate the two ideas. The passage quoted from Peri atomōn grammōn serves as an example of such a confusion. [conclusion p. 125-126 ] |

It was Xenocrates who made the theory widely known, but he further complicated the issue by introducing the concept of the ideal line, potentially adding other misunderstandings. Aristotle described this as \"giving in\" to a dichotomy argument, which directly suggests Zeno. All this made it easy for those who did not fully grasp the theory to conflate it with the ideas of the point-atomists.\r\n\r\nThe argument is as follows: if indivisible lines exist, then there must also be surfaces that are divided by those indivisible lines, and all surfaces could be reduced to indivisible surfaces. For example, if x is the length of an indivisible line, a surface measuring x by 2x could be divided into two square surfaces with sides of length x. These squares could then be divided diagonally, but no further division would be possible, as this would require either cutting the indivisible length x or creating a line shorter than x. The same logic applies to solids divided along indivisible surfaces.\r\n\r\nIn this reasoning, the indivisible surface is treated as a surface bounded by indivisible lines. This has been noted by the Oxford translator. The author of \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u1f76 \u1f00\u03c4\u03cc\u03bc\u03c9\u03bd \u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03bc\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd (Peri atom\u014dn gramm\u014dn) either realized, or was informed, that indivisible lines were essentially points but did not recognize that indivisible surfaces were lines.\r\n\r\nIf there existed, alongside Plato's theory of indivisible lines, another theory positing that matter, space, and motion were composed of tiny indivisibles, it would have been easy to conflate the two ideas. The passage quoted from Peri atom\u014dn gramm\u014dn serves as an example of such a confusion.

The text discusses a disputed line in Parmenides, quoted in Plato's Theaetetus and Simplicius' Physics. Some editors deny the line's independent existence, claiming it was created by Plato by misquoting another verse. The author disagrees with this view, arguing that the line is meaningful and could have been in their texts of Parmenides. The author also argues that there is no reason to believe that Simplicius took the line from Plato, and that Plato was not slovenly in his treatment of Parmenides. The author proposes a corrected version of the line and suggests that it may be Parmenides' last word on the unity and unchangeableness of Being. [introduction/conclusion] |

In this passage from Aristotle's De Caelo, he explores why the heavens revolve in one direction rather than the other. He suggests that the universe has a front and a back, which implies a forward motion that is superior to backward motion, just as upward and rightward motions are superior to their respective opposites. Aristotle argues that since nature always follows the best course, the direction of the heaven's revolution must be forward and therefore better. The text is difficult to understand due to possible corruptions, but a comparison with Simplicius' paraphrase suggests that both the subject and object of the main verb are missing and need to be restored.

Der Bericlit des Simplicius über die Quadraturen des Antiphon und des Hippokrates ist eine der wichtigsten Quellen für die Geschichte der griechischen Geometrie vor Euklid. Enthält doch dieser Bericht, neben vielen anderen historisch höchst wertvollen Mitteilungen, einen umfangreichen wörtlichen Auszug aus der leider verloren gegangenen Geschichte der Geometrie des Eudemus! Das uns auf diese Weise erhaltene Referat des Eudemus bezieht sich auf die scharfsinnigen Untersuchungen, die Hippokrates von Chios etwa ums Jahr 440 v. Chr. in einer ebenfalls verloren gegangenen Abhandlung über die Quadraturen der sogenannten Möndchen angestellt hat, Untersuchungen, die vielleicht als Vorbereitungen zu der von alters her umworbenen Quadratur des Kreises gedient haben. Die Abhandlung des Hippokrates ist um so wertvoller, als sie die älteste auf griechischem Boden entstandene mathematische Arbeit darstellt, die uns in gesicherter und zugleich ausführlicher und zusammenhängender Überlieferung vorliegt.

In nie wieder erreichter Vollständigkeit und Geschlossenheit beschreibt Eduard Zeller hier den Entwicklungsgang der Philosophie Griechenlands. Als Übersichts- und Grundlagenwerk ist ›Der Zeller‹ auch heute noch von großer Bedeutung. Hervorhebenswert an der Arbeit Eduard Zellers ist vor allem, dass er eine akribische Quellenarbeit mit systematisch-philosophischem Interesse verbindet. Obwohl ein klassischer Gelehrter des 19.

In diesem Text geht es um Simplikios' Kommentar zu Aristoteles' De caelo II, 1, 284 a 14 ff. und Pseudo-Alexandros' Kommentar zu Aristoteles' Metaphysik A, 8, 1074aff. Beide diskutieren Fragen zur Bewegung des Himmels und stellen ähnliche Gedanken zum Verhältnis von Seele und Bewegung dar. Der Text betrachtet die Möglichkeit, dass Simplikios und Pseudo-Alexandros einander zitiert haben oder dass sie beide den echten Alexandros zitieren. Es wird auch auf die Interpretation von Aristoteles' De caelo H, 1,284a 27 ff. durch Simplikios eingegangen. [whole text] |

To summarize, Democritus, who had moved beyond the confusion between point and atom, also avoided the notion of indivisible lines. The people who confused points and atoms probably held a similar theory of motion and space. However, it was not they but Plato who proposed the existence of indivisible lines, driven by his conception of the problem of continuity. This idea, however, was not straightforward to understand, and Plato did not explain it in detail in the dialogues. Anyone reading the Timaeus and knowing that Plato believed in indivisible lines might become confused trying to locate references to them in that dialogue. It was Xenocrates who made the theory widely known, but he further complicated the issue by introducing the concept of the ideal line, potentially adding other misunderstandings. Aristotle described this as "giving in" to a dichotomy argument, which directly suggests Zeno. All this made it easy for those who did not fully grasp the theory to conflate it with the ideas of the point-atomists. The argument is as follows: if indivisible lines exist, then there must also be surfaces that are divided by those indivisible lines, and all surfaces could be reduced to indivisible surfaces. For example, if x is the length of an indivisible line, a surface measuring x by 2x could be divided into two square surfaces with sides of length x. These squares could then be divided diagonally, but no further division would be possible, as this would require either cutting the indivisible length x or creating a line shorter than x. The same logic applies to solids divided along indivisible surfaces. In this reasoning, the indivisible surface is treated as a surface bounded by indivisible lines. This has been noted by the Oxford translator. The author of περὶ ἀτόμων γραμμῶν (Peri atomōn grammōn) either realized, or was informed, that indivisible lines were essentially points but did not recognize that indivisible surfaces were lines. If there existed, alongside Plato's theory of indivisible lines, another theory positing that matter, space, and motion were composed of tiny indivisibles, it would have been easy to conflate the two ideas. The passage quoted from Peri atomōn grammōn serves as an example of such a confusion. [conclusion p. 125-126 ] |
