Die Widerlegung des Manichäismus im Kommentar des Simplikios zu Epiktet von Ilsetraut Hadot ist eine Studie über die Existenz und den Ursprung des Bösen, ein Thema, das im Encheiridion des Epiktet seinen Platz findet. Hadot zeigt, dass Simplikios mit Epiktet in der Ablehnung des ontologischen Charakters des Bösen übereinstimmt, da die Natur des Bösen keinen Platz in der Welt hat, und er verwendet auch stoische Argumente, die auch im Neuplatonismus und im Christentum verwendet werden, um das Thema zu behandeln. Simplikios argumentiert gegen das manichäische System mit einem polemischen Ton, der den polemischen Werken anderer Autoren gegen die Manichäer ähnelt. Simplikios hält die gründliche Widerlegung des manichäischen Systems für notwendig, insbesondere seit dem Wiederaufleben der Manichäer im byzantinischen Reich. Simplikios' Kommentar soll als Anleitung zur Selbstvervollkommnung dienen, und aus diesem Grund bietet er nicht nur eine umfassende Diskussion über den Ursprung des Bösen, sondern widmet auch einen beträchtlichen Teil seines Werks der gründlichen Widerlegung des manichäischen Systems. Simplikios stützt sich bei seiner Argumentation auf das philosophische System von Proklos und erwähnt die Manichäer nur im zweiten Teil seiner Erörterung, in dem er die Hypothese widerlegt, dass das Böse als Prinzip neben dem Guten angesehen werden kann.

Even those who know nothing else o f Justinian know that he closed the Academy at Athens in a . d . 529—the very year that St Benedict had founded the monastery o f Monte Cassino.1 For those who like schematic boundaries between the ancient and medieval worlds, between the pagan past and the Christian future, here is a truly symbolic date.The romantic sequel is hardly less familiar:2 the seven out-of-work Platonists who left Athens for Persia, which under its new King Chosroes they had heard closely resembled the ideal state their master had written of. On their arrival, alas, they discovered that Chosroes, while amiable enough and genuinely interested in philo­ sophy, was far from being the philosopher-king they had dreamed of. And his subjects were no less corrupt than the Romans. The disillusioned philosophers confessed their disappointment to the king, who not only graciously consented to their immediate return, but even went so far as to make Justinian write into the peace treaty they were just then concluding (September 532) a safe conduct home for all seven and a guarantee that they would be allowed to live out their lives in Roman territory in peace as pagans.This much is well known. But some details are unclear, others unexplored. Several misconceptions prevail. A number of relevant texts have never been properly exploited, some not even considered. What was Justinian’s motive? Did he give the last push to a tottering edifice, or destroy a thriving intellectual centre? Indeed, did he actually succeed in destroying anything at all? What did the philosophers do on their return? [Introduction, p. 7]

Review: In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the period of Greek philosophy after Aristotle. Since ancient Greek thought exhibits unbroken continuity, the commentaries on Aristotle from late antiquity retain an authenticity and value for the study of Aristotle himself, which have not always been sufficiently recognized. This extensive and learned work is a study of time as presented by Simplicius in his commentary on Aristotle's Physics and in the Doubts and Solutions of Simplicius' teacher, Damascius. It sheds new light not only on the Neoplatonic philosophy of time but also on the notorious "difficulties" of Aristotle regarding time. The work presents a significant amount of philosophical argument, often complex and subtle. Therefore, some oversimplification is necessary. Damascius and Simplicius utilize materials from two different philosophies of time: Aristotle's and Plotinus'. Aristotle's view is that time is the number of motion according to before and after, based on the phenomenon of regular and endless physical motion. Although number, in Aristotle, is a mathematical abstraction, time, being a number, is not merely ideal or mathematical but is actually verified in the physical world. Soul or mind is needed to make the before-and-after of physical motion actually numbered. The "matter" of time, the endless motion of nature (especially the heavens), is real, not merely ideal or mathematical. The form of time is determined by the real relation of before and after, making time a real category, one of the modes of being. Time is the way of being whose being consists in becoming. The other philosophy of time influencing Damascius and Simplicius is the more "idealist" Neoplatonic one, which bases time on the soul. According to Plotinus, the number of motion is an applied number. Eternity is the life of mind (nous), and time is the life of the world-soul. Numbers exist in the realm of mind or being or ideal forms, the second hypostasis of Plotinus. When mind descends into body, constituting soul or the third hypostasis, the life of mind or eternity becomes an activity of soul or time. Time is a psychic measuring, corresponding to Augustine's definition of time as a disrensio animae. Simplicius, like other ancient and medieval commentators, aims not only at a scholarly reconstruction of Aristotle's "difficulties" but at a real solution to the philosophical problem of time. The commentator's new and original philosophy emerges during the exposition of Aristotle's text. Simplicius' thesis is that the reality of time is the present moment, or now, or point of time, which is endlessly repeated. However, this cannot be a correct commentary on Aristotle, for whom time is solidly based on real physical motion. Simplicius' view of time is more abstract since he overlooks the reality of motion. The central part of Meyer's book examines in detail the philosophy of time in the Greek text of the Corollarium. Simplicius' view is that time is in becoming, not in being or eternity. Time's being is in becoming, and the only being in becoming is the "now," which makes time the "now." Simplicius contrasts this with his more Platonic teacher, Damascius, for whom eternity, to aei, or the realm of being, contains a form of time, a supra-temporal whole-time, or time-number, or mathematical "time," the unenfolded structure of number, which, in turn, contains time or continual becoming. Simplicius replies in a more Aristotelian fashion, arguing that Damascius' region of the "always" or "ever" of time, or time as a whole, is entirely unnecessary. Time flows infinitely, an always-becoming, but this infinity of time is not an actual whole. Time flows into infinity, but there is no actual infinite or eternal whole, as personified by Damascius' Demiourgos. Simplicius' interpretation is part of the wider movement of thought in later antiquity when time as the number of motion is forgotten and replaced by a more abstract definition. The interest in these thinkers, Damascius and Simplicius, lies in their providing us with variants or subspecies of the two great masters, Plato and Aristotle. Meyer's learned work makes these obscure texts widely accessible, and his interpretations of the rich material are cautious and sound. The presentation is not [iir die Menge; and, it is sometimes not very clear just what Greek distinctions are being noted by certain G e r m a n distinctions. There are misprints in French, G e r m a n, and Greek. The work is a fine contribution to scholarship. PAUL J. W. MILLER

This text is a critical analysis of the location of two fragments of the work of the ancient Greek philosopher Parmenides. The author of the text suggests that the two fragments, VS 28 B 10 (Clement, Strom. 5, I38) and VS 28 B 11 (Simplicius, de Caelo 559, 20), are incorrectly placed together in Parmenides' Way of Seeming. The author argues that there is no evidence to suggest that the two fragments were meant to be together, and that they do not fit into the context of Parmenides' work. The author also suggests that VS 28 B 10 may not be Parmenidean at all, and discusses its possible attribution to Empedocles. The text concludes by considering the language and style of the two fragments, and their relationship to Parmenides' other works. [summary of the whole text]

The critical text of the first four books of Simplicius’ commentary on the Physics, which was published by Diels in Berlin in 1882 and serves as the foundation for the text of many fragments of the Presocratics, was based on collations by Vitelli of three manuscripts (DEF) and of a fragment of Book I in a copy made by the scribe of E, which Diels refers to as Ea. Besides these, Diels lists a considerable number of later manuscripts, which I have examined and found justifiably ignored in his critical apparatus. The total number of manuscripts listed by Diels of some part of Books I-VIII is 44; a further 25 not mentioned by Diels are listed in A. Wartelle’s "Inventaire des manuscrits grecs d’Aristote et de ses commentateurs" (Belles Lettres, 1963). I shall argue that Diels seriously underrated both the value of F and the probability of contamination between his manuscripts, and consequently, his text of some fragments of the Presocratics rests on a false foundation. However, it should be said at the outset that Diels’s understanding of Presocratic thought prevented him from going far wrong in the readings he adopted and printed. [Introduction, p. 70]

Hitherto reconstructions of Empedocles’ cosmic cycle have usually been offered as part of a larger work, a complete history of Presocratic thought, or a complete study of Empedocles. Consequently there has perhaps been a lack of thoroughness in collecting and sifting evidence that relates exclusively to the main features of the cosmic cycle. There is in fact probably more evidence for Empedocles’ main views than for those of any other Presocratic except Parmenides in his Way of Truth. From a close examination of the fragments and of the secondary sources, principally Aristotle, Plutarch, and Simplicius, there can be formed a reasonably complete picture of the main temporal and spatial features of Empedocles’ cosmic cycle.

Review: In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the period of Greek philosophy after Aristotle. Since ancient Greek thought exhibits unbroken continuity, the commentaries on Aristotle from late antiquity retain an authenticity and value for the study of Aristotle himself, which have not always been sufficiently recognized. This extensive and learned work is a study of time as presented by Simplicius in his commentary on Aristotle's Physics and in the Doubts and Solutions of Simplicius' teacher, Damascius. It sheds new light not only on the Neoplatonic philosophy of time but also on the notorious "difficulties" of Aristotle regarding time.
The work presents a significant amount of philosophical argument, often complex and subtle. Therefore, some oversimplification is necessary. Damascius and Simplicius utilize materials from two different philosophies of time: Aristotle's and Plotinus'. Aristotle's view is that time is the number of motion according to before and after, based on the phenomenon of regular and endless physical motion. Although number, in Aristotle, is a mathematical abstraction, time, being a number, is not merely ideal or mathematical but is actually verified in the physical world. Soul or mind is needed to make the before-and-after of physical motion actually numbered. The "matter" of time, the endless motion of nature (especially the heavens), is real, not merely ideal or mathematical. The form of time is determined by the real relation of before and after, making time a real category, one of the modes of being. Time is the way of being whose being consists in becoming.
The other philosophy of time influencing Damascius and Simplicius is the more "idealist" Neoplatonic one, which bases time on the soul. According to Plotinus, the number of motion is an applied number. Eternity is the life of mind (nous), and time is the life of the world-soul. Numbers exist in the realm of mind or being or ideal forms, the second hypostasis of Plotinus. When mind descends into body, constituting soul or the third hypostasis, the life of mind or eternity becomes an activity of soul or time. Time is a psychic measuring, corresponding to Augustine's definition of time as a disrensio animae.
Simplicius, like other ancient and medieval commentators, aims not only at a scholarly reconstruction of Aristotle's "difficulties" but at a real solution to the philosophical problem of time. The commentator's new and original philosophy emerges during the exposition of Aristotle's text. Simplicius' thesis is that the reality of time is the present moment, or now, or point of time, which is endlessly repeated. However, this cannot be a correct commentary on Aristotle, for whom time is solidly based on real physical motion. Simplicius' view of time is more abstract since he overlooks the reality of motion.
The central part of Meyer's book examines in detail the philosophy of time in the Greek text of the Corollarium. Simplicius' view is that time is in becoming, not in being or eternity. Time's being is in becoming, and the only being in becoming is the "now," which makes time the "now." Simplicius contrasts this with his more Platonic teacher, Damascius, for whom eternity, to aei, or the realm of being, contains a form of time, a supra-temporal whole-time, or time-number, or mathematical "time," the unenfolded structure of number, which, in turn, contains time or continual becoming.
Simplicius replies in a more Aristotelian fashion, arguing that Damascius' region of the "always" or "ever" of time, or time as a whole, is entirely unnecessary. Time flows infinitely, an always-becoming, but this infinity of time is not an actual whole. Time flows into infinity, but there is no actual infinite or eternal whole, as personified by Damascius' Demiourgos.
Simplicius' interpretation is part of the wider movement of thought in later antiquity when time as the number of motion is forgotten and replaced by a more abstract definition.
The interest in these thinkers, Damascius and Simplicius, lies in their providing us with variants or subspecies of the two great masters, Plato and Aristotle. Meyer's learned work makes these obscure texts widely accessible, and his interpretations of the rich material are cautious and sound. The presentation is not [iir die Menge; and, it is sometimes not very clear just what Greek distinctions are being noted by certain G e r m a n distinctions. There are misprints in French, G e r m a n, and Greek. The work is a fine contribution to scholarship.

Aristotle's view is that time is the number of motion according to before and after, based on the phenomenon of regular and endless physical motion. Although number, in Aristotle, is a mathematical abstraction, time, being a number, is not merely ideal or mathematical but is actually verified in the physical world. Soul or mind is needed to make the before-and-after of physical motion actually numbered. The \"matter\" of time, the endless motion of nature (especially the heavens), is real, not merely ideal or mathematical. The form of time is determined by the real relation of before and after, making time a real category, one of the modes of being. Time is the way of being whose being consists in becoming.\r\nThe other philosophy of time influencing Damascius and Simplicius is the more \"idealist\" Neoplatonic one, which bases time on the soul. According to Plotinus, the number of motion is an applied number. Eternity is the life of mind (nous), and time is the life of the world-soul. Numbers exist in the realm of mind or being or ideal forms, the second hypostasis of Plotinus. When mind descends into body, constituting soul or the third hypostasis, the life of mind or eternity becomes an activity of soul or time. Time is a psychic measuring, corresponding to Augustine's definition of time as a disrensio animae.\r\nSimplicius, like other ancient and medieval commentators, aims not only at a scholarly reconstruction of Aristotle's \"difficulties\" but at a real solution to the philosophical problem of time. The commentator's new and original philosophy emerges during the exposition of Aristotle's text. Simplicius' thesis is that the reality of time is the present moment, or now, or point of time, which is endlessly repeated. However, this cannot be a correct commentary on Aristotle, for whom time is solidly based on real physical motion. Simplicius' view of time is more abstract since he overlooks the reality of motion.\r\nThe central part of Meyer's book examines in detail the philosophy of time in the Greek text of the Corollarium. Simplicius' view is that time is in becoming, not in being or eternity. Time's being is in becoming, and the only being in becoming is the \"now,\" which makes time the \"now.\" Simplicius contrasts this with his more Platonic teacher, Damascius, for whom eternity, to aei, or the realm of being, contains a form of time, a supra-temporal whole-time, or time-number, or mathematical \"time,\" the unenfolded structure of number, which, in turn, contains time or continual becoming.\r\nSimplicius replies in a more Aristotelian fashion, arguing that Damascius' region of the \"always\" or \"ever\" of time, or time as a whole, is entirely unnecessary. Time flows infinitely, an always-becoming, but this infinity of time is not an actual whole. Time flows into infinity, but there is no actual infinite or eternal whole, as personified by Damascius' Demiourgos.\r\nSimplicius' interpretation is part of the wider movement of thought in later antiquity when time as the number of motion is forgotten and replaced by a more abstract definition.\r\nThe interest in these thinkers, Damascius and Simplicius, lies in their providing us with variants or subspecies of the two great masters, Plato and Aristotle. Meyer's learned work makes these obscure texts widely accessible, and his interpretations of the rich material are cautious and sound. The presentation is not [iir die Menge; and, it is sometimes not very clear just what Greek distinctions are being noted by certain G e r m a n distinctions. There are misprints in French, G e r m a n, and Greek. The work is a fine contribution to scholarship.\r\nPAUL J. W.

In den philosophischen Texten der späten Kaiserzeit stößt man zuweilen auf den Namen Ptolemaios, ohne daß dabei an einen Lagiden oder an den berühmten Astronomen zu denken wäre. Wie jene Zitate auf einen oder mehrere Träger dieses Namens zu verteilen seien, war eine einst viel diskutierte Frage, die dann allerdings im Anschluß an eine Vermutung W. v. Christs durch das Buch von A. Chatzis (Der Philosoph und Grammatiker Ptolemaios Chennos I = Stud. z Gesch. u. Kult. d. Altert. VII 2, Paderborn 1914) endgültig dahin beantwortet schien, es handele sich bei all diesen Ptolemaioi immer wieder um Ptolemaios Chennos aus der Zeit um 100 n. Chr., der uns durch den Auszug des Photios aus seiner καινὴ ἱστορία (cod. 190) recht gut bekannt ist. Diese Frage soll hier einer erneuten Prüfung unterzogen werden. [introduction, p. 314]

G.  Vlastos,  in  Gnomon, XXV (1953), pp.  34-5,  claims  that 
he  (and  J.  E.  Raven before him)  have laid  to  rest  "the  alleged 
corporeality  of Melissean  Being in the grave  which  contains 
Burnet's  famous  dogma  of  Eleatic  materialism." There  is a 
surprising  finality  about this  claim  of  Vlastos',  and  it  behooves 
his  critics to  consider whether such finality  is  justified. I  think 
myself  that,  while  Vlastos'  arguments are  forceful  and  well  ex- 
pressed, they  still  fail  to  carry absolute conviction;  and  in  this 
brief discussion I shall try to set out the reasons  for my 
scepticism. [p. 61]

kurz  das  Faktum,  viele  hätten  ihre  eigenen Werke  unter  dem

Das Thema für Kap.  n — 12 ist am Schluß von  Kap.  10 gegeben;  280a 28: 
»Einige  vertreten  die  Ansicht,  etwas  dem Werden  nicht  Unterliegendes  (aye- 
vy)tov) könne vergehen, und etwas Entstandenes könne unvergänglich bestehen 
bleiben,  wie im Timaios.  Dort  nämlich sagt  (Platon),  der Himmel sei zwar ge­
worden,  indessen  werde  er  die  übrige  immerwährende  Zeit  existieren.  Mit 
diesen haben wir uns bisher nur unter physikalischen  Gesichtspunkten betreffs 
des  Himmels  auseinandergesetzt.  Nachdem  wir  die  Untersuchung  aber  allge­
mein über alles angestellt haben, wird auch hierüber Klarheit sein.«Wir  dürfen  also  eine  Argumentation  erwarten,  der  Form:  »Wenn  für  jedes 
Subjekt  gilt:  Es  kann  nicht  geworden  und  unvergänglich  sein,  dann  gilt  es 
auch für den Himmel.  Nun gilt es für jedes,  also auch für den  Himmel.« Dieser 
Beweis  —  besser:  diese  Beweise,  denn  es  handelt  sich  nicht  um  eine  elemen- 
tatio,  wie  Aristoteles  sie  für  die  Geometrie  kannte  und  wie,  aus  Aristoteles 
schöpfend,  700  Jahre  später  Proklos  sie  für  Physik  und  Theologie  schrieb, 
—   finden  sich  in  Kap.  12... [p. 198]
