This article deals with four almost classic problems in Anaximander. Of these the first is of comparatively minor importance, and the second is important not for what Anaximander thought but for what Aristotle thought he thought. Problem I is: Did Anaximander describe his 3 dE"repov as apX-, ? Problem 2: Did Aristotle mean Anaximander when he referred to people who postulated an intermediate substance? Problem 3: Did Anaximander think that there were innumerable successive worlds? Problem 4: What is the extent and implication of the extant fragment of Anaximander ? Appended is a brief con- sideration of the nature of Theophrastus' source-material for Anaximander; on one's opinion of this question the assessment of the last two problems will clearly depend. [p. 21]

Die Hauptquelle für die Darstellung der Lehren Heraklits, die Theophrast in seinen Phusikôn doxai gab, ist der Bericht bei Diogenes Laertius 9, 7-II. Er zerfällt in zwei Teile, eine knappe Übersicht (im folgenden DL1) und ein ausführliches Referat (im folgenden DL2). Nach DIELS stammt DL1 aus einer Mittelquelle biographischer Tradition, auf die auch der Einschub mit den Zitaten und die Bemerkung über Heraklits Stil zurückgehe, der zweite Teil dagegen direkt aus Theophrast (Doxographi Graeci I63 f., vgl. auch I80). Dagegen hat K.

Ammonias, bien que païen et élève de Proclus, avait su, dès la fin du Ve siècle, faire à l'Église les concessionsnécessaires pour que fût toléré son enseignement officiel à Alexandrie. Mais il convient de reconnaître le rôle capital quedut jouer, quelque vingt à trente ans plus tard, un de ses élèves chrétiens, Jean le grammairien, philoponos dans l'Églised'Alexandrie : il couvrit son maître, et en éditant sous son nom à lui ses rédactions des commentaires à Aristote exposésoralement par Ammonius, et en publiant, dans l'année critique 529, son propre ouvrage De aeternitate mundi ContraProclum, qui détachait opportunément de l'École d'Athènes l'École d'Alexandrie.

This text discusses the limited knowledge of the history of Aristotle's text, De caelo, due to the large number of Greek manuscripts and translations in various languages. The author focuses on the indirect tradition of the text, which includes summaries, paraphrases, and extracts by ancient commentators such as Alexander of Aphrodisias, Proclus, Philoponus, and Simplicius. The author compares this indirect tradition to the direct tradition and notes the difficulties in reconstructing the original text due to the multiple manuscript variants resulting from the philological activities of ancient commentators and scribes. The author's aim is to offer a modest contribution to the study of the text's transmission history. [introduction]

Der Satz HERMANN FRANKELS, daß alle doxographischen Berichte solange unbestimmt sind, als nicht originaler Wortlaut hinzukommt, gilt in gewissem Sinne auch umgekehrt. Denn obwohl jener Satz gerade auch mit Rücksicht auf Anaximander gesagt worden ist, hat doch die Diskussion des Anaximanderfragments gezeigt, wie vieldeutig ein Satzbruchstück bleibt, wenn man es für sich betrachtet, aber auch, wieviel Hilfe aus der Analyse der Überlieferung kommen kann. Aus dieser wird noch einiges herangezogen, ohne daß hinlänglich gefragt würde, wo es herrührt. Sofern es sich im folgenden noch einmal um die Lehre von den Gegensatzen handelt, kommt es mir weniger darauf an, dem einzelnen Placitum sein Recht zu bestreiten, als etwas von der Weise dieses schwer zugänglichen Denkens zu erkennen. Es wird dabei zunächst in einer Untersuchung fortgefahren werden, die sich schon ausgewiesen hat: der Kritik der aristotelischen Berichte. Im zweiten Teil soll dagegen versucht werden, jene Denkform von den Voraussetzungen her zu bestimmen, aus denen Anaximander seine Konzeption des Ursprungs entwickelt hat.

Philopon était probablement un chrétien de naissance. Rien en tout cas n’indique qu'il ait jamais été païen. Dès le début de son activité littéraire, il manifeste son christianisme en interprétant Aristote d’une manière favorable à l’immortalité de l'âme humaine et en le critiquant à propos de la création du monde et de l’éternité du mouvement. Il fut peut-être séduit un instant par les idées d’Origène, mais les abandonna bientôt. La fermeture de l’école d’Athènes a sans doute produit sur son esprit une assez forte impression. Il est remarquable en tout cas que son Contre Proclus est l’exact contemporain de cet événement. Peut-être la mesure de Justinien fut-elle difficilement admise dans les cercles philoso­phiques d'Alexandrie, où païens et chrétiens semblent avoir fait un effort pour harmoniser leurs points de vue. Philopon aurait alors voulu montrer qu’elle atteignait les disciples d’un philosophe dont l’enseignement était fort criticable et qui n’avait consenti aucune concession au christianisme. C’est peut-être pour la même raison qu’un peu après, dans son Commentaire aux Météorologiques, il attaqua à plusieurs reprises Damascius, qui dirigeait l’école d'Athènes au moment de sa fermeture. A ce moment encore, il prit apparemment une conscience plus nette des contradictions entre les doctrines des païen’s et sa religion. C’est en effet dans le Contre Proclus qu’apparaît pour la première fois la critique de la cinquième essence. Un ouvrage postérieur que nous ne possédons plus y ajoutait une réfutation de la théorie du mouvement surnaturel du feu. On peut penser que Philopon craignait dans ces doctrines une certaine divinisation du ciel dans laquelle il voyait une atteinte à la majesté de Dieu. Le Com­mentaire aux Météorologiques, composé après 529, révèle une accentuation de cette attitude. On y voit en plus apparaître la critique de l’astrologie. Enfin le Contre Aristote constitue comme une somme des griefs de Philopon contre le système péripatéticien. Dans le De Opificio mundi, postérieur au Contre Aristote et écrit après 557, la philosophie n’apparaît plus qu’indirectement et cède la place à la théologie et à l’exégèse biblique.Seule une étude exhaustive des œuvres de Philopon révélerait le degré d'exactitude de cette reconstitution provisoire. Celle-ci me semble du moins respecter plus complètement que celle de Gudeman les indications sur lesquelles j’ai attiré l’attention. Elle permet en outre de mieux comprendre les répercussions des événements de la première moitié du VIe siècle sur l'esprit de Philopon. [conclusion, p. 356-357]

Un ouvrage post\u00e9rieur \r\nque nous ne poss\u00e9dons plus y ajoutait une r\u00e9futation de la th\u00e9orie du mouvement surnaturel du feu. On peut penser que Philopon craignait dans ces doctrines une certaine divinisation du ciel dans laquelle il voyait une atteinte \u00e0 la majest\u00e9 de Dieu. Le Com\u00admentaire aux M\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques, compos\u00e9 apr\u00e8s 529, r\u00e9v\u00e8le une accentuation de cette attitude. On y voit en plus appara\u00eetre la \r\ncritique de l\u2019astrologie. Enfin le Contre Aristote constitue comme une somme des griefs de Philopon contre le syst\u00e8me p\u00e9ripat\u00e9ticien. Dans le De Opificio mundi, post\u00e9rieur au Contre Aristote \r\net \u00e9crit apr\u00e8s 557, la philosophie n\u2019appara\u00eet plus qu\u2019indirectement et c\u00e8de la place \u00e0 la th\u00e9ologie et \u00e0 l\u2019ex\u00e9g\u00e8se biblique.Seule une \u00e9tude exhaustive des \u0153uvres de Philopon r\u00e9v\u00e9lerait le degr\u00e9 d'exactitude de cette reconstitution provisoire. Celle-ci me semble du moins respecter plus compl\u00e8tement que celle de Gudeman les indications sur lesquelles j\u2019ai attir\u00e9 l\u2019attention. \r\nElle permet en outre de mieux comprendre les r\u00e9percussions des \u00e9v\u00e9nements de la premi\u00e8re moiti\u00e9 du VIe si\u00e8cle sur l'esprit \r\nde Philopon.

In der Erläuterungsschrift des Boethius zu den Kategorien des Aristoteles ist nach Absolvierung der einzelnen Kategorien das vierte Buch der Besprechung der sogenannten Postprädikamente 1 eingeräumt (Migne PL 64, 263-294), wozu freilich gleich auch gesagt werden musz, dasz die handschriftliche Überlieferung vielfach die Abtrennung eines vierten Buches nicht aufweist, sondern die uns geläufigen Bücher III und IV zu einem zusammenfaszt2, worauf hier jedoch nicht weiter eingegangen werden soll.

The most important ancient writing on the history of European thought was the Physical Opinions of Theophrastus.1 In this work of sixteen or eighteen books Theophrastus gave for the first time a systematic treatment of earlier views on the main problems of science and philosophy. Its influence in antiquity is attested by the frequency and respect with which it was referred to by later ancient writers. But its unique position was not fully appreciated by modern scholars until Usener2 collected the fragments of it and Diels scrutinized these fragments in relation to the large body of other doxographical writings. Diels proved that these writings, far from being isolated and independent, were virtually all derived directly or indirectly from the Physical Opinions.3 This fact has been of great consequence for the evaluation of both the doxographers and Theo- phrastus. Statements of such writers as Aetius have been invested with the full authority of Theophrastus, and, on the other hand, this authority has seemingly been enhanced by the very number of the doxographers who accepted it. When a report has been traced back to the Physical Opinions, scholars have been satisfied that it has been traced to an "unimpeachable source" and that it "must have been based on direct acquaintance" with the original Presocratic writing.

This article deals with four almost classic problems in Anaximander. Of these 
the first is of comparatively minor importance, and the second is important not 
for what Anaximander thought but for what Aristotle thought he thought. 
Problem I is: Did Anaximander describe his  3 dE"repov as apX-, ? Problem 2: Did Aristotle mean Anaximander when he referred to people who postulated 
an intermediate substance? Problem 3:  Did Anaximander think that there 
were innumerable successive worlds? Problem 4:  What is the extent and 
implication of the extant fragment of Anaximander ? Appended is a brief con- 
sideration of the nature of Theophrastus' source-material for Anaximander; 
on one's opinion of this question the assessment of the last two problems will 
clearly depend. [p. 21]

Strictliy speaking, there  were  no  universities  in  the  Ancient World,if by  university we  understand a  corporate  institution  offering  avariety of courses and granting degrees in the way  modern  univer­
sities do.
There were, however, university towns, Rome, Constantinople, 
Athens, Alexandria, Bordeaux, with established chairs, where the leading 
teachers of the  day  lectured  to  classes  drawn  from  all  over the  Empire. 
And so many of the ideas we associate with a university were both present 
and fostered in this atmosphere, that it would clearly he pedantic to avoid 
using the  term.  But  there were significant  differences nonetheless.Not  least,  each  professor  in  these  university  towns  was independent 
of, and indeed a rival of, every other professor there. In every city of the 
Empire except Constantinople, and not there till 425, it was possible for 
freelance  teachers  to  set  up  in  opposition  lo  holders  of the  established 
chairs (and sometimes entice away their pupils, too). Even holders of the 
chairs competed with each other for pupils.  It was normal for students to 
sign on with just one professor, and attend his courses alone. Indeed, the 
rivalry between professors was transmitted to their pupils.  Up to a point competion  was  natural  and  healthy  enough.  But  by  the  period that
forms  the  subject  of this paper,  the fourth to sixth centuries A.D., it
far  exceeded  that  point, and  cannot  but  have  impaired both the 
proficiency and  the standing of the  profession. [Introduction, pp. 653 f.]

The treatises which form the Hippocratic Corpus are not the work of 
a single individual, and there is abundant evidence that they were itten over a  period of at least two hundred years. It is, there ore, essential, in attempting to reconstruct the scientific world 
view of the early period, that we rely so far as possible on treatises 
belonging to this period. Unfortunately, in the present state of 
Hippocratic studies, it is impossible to date these works with any 
exactitude. On the other hand, certain of them belong pretty 
clearly to  the fifth century; and it  seems fairly well established that 
the view of the constitution of man which most of them assume 
dates from the time of Alcmaeon, who flourished around the turn 
of the century. Since this view is  based upon an analogy between 
microcosm and macrocosm, the processes involved in sickness and 
health reflect on a small scale the greater processes which constitute 
the life of the cosmos as a  whole; thus, indirectly, these treatises 
illuminate in striking ways aspects of the larger world-view 
implicit in the fragments of the early cosmologists, but obscured 
by the fewness of these fragments and the imperfect state in  which 
they have been preserved. In the present study they are used to 
illuminate just such obscurities. [pp. 676 f.]

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]

As long ago as 1928 Professor E. R. Dodds'  demonstrated the 
dependence of the One of Plotinus on an interpretation of the 
first hypothesis of the Parmenides. His demonstration has been 
universally accepted.  But Dodds  not only showed the depen- 
dence of Plotinus on the Parmenides but also offered an account 
of the history of the doctrine of the One between the late fourth 
century B.C.  and the third century A.D.  His view is that the first 
three hypotheses of the Parmenides were already treated in what 
we should call  a  Neoplatonic fashion by Moderatus, a  Neo- 
pythagorean of the second half of the first century A.D.;  further, 
that Moderatus was not the originator of this interpretation, 
whose origins can  in fact be  traced back  through Eudorus 
(ca. 25 B.C.)  and the Neopythagoreans of his day to the Old 
Academy.  Though Dodds is somewhat unclear at this point,2 
he seems to suggest that already before the time of Eudorus the 
Parmenides was being interpreted in Neopythagorean fashion. 
In order to check this derivation, we should look at the three 
stages of it in detail.  These stages are the Neopythagoreanism 
of Moderatus, the theories of Eudorus, and those of Speusippus 
and the Old  Academy in general. [p. 389]

Kepler,  who,  as  we  all  know,  lived  under  the  new  heaven  created  by Copernicus,  discusses  the  question  whether  the  planets  are  moved  by Intelligences or by souls or by nature. His consideration of Intelligences 
as  possible  movers  of  the  planets  refers  to  a  view  held  by  those  who  in  the Middle Ages lived under the  old Ptolemaic heaven, the term Intelligences being, by  a  complexity  of  miscegenation,  a  descendant  of  what  Aristotle  describes  as 
incorporeal  substances.  His  consideration  of  souls  or  nature  as possible  movers of  the  planets  touches  upon  a  topic  which  was  made  into  a  problem  b y  the 
Byzantine  Greek  commentators  of  Aristotle.In  this  paper  I  shall  try  to  show  how  the  Byzantine  commentators,  in  their study  of  the  text  of  Aristotle,  were  confronted  with  a  certain  problem,  how they  solved  that  problem,  and  how  their  solution  of  that  problem  led  to  other 
problems  and  solutions,  all  of  which  lingered  in  philosophic literature  down  to Kepler. [Author's abstract]

Theophrastus on the Presocratic Causes, 1953

The most important ancient writing on the history of European 
thought was  the  Physical  Opinions of  Theophrastus.1 In  this 
work of  sixteen  or  eighteen books Theophrastus gave  for  the  first 
time a systematic treatment of earlier views on the main problems of 
science and philosophy. Its  influence in  antiquity is  attested  by  the 
frequency and respect with which it  was referred to by  later ancient 
writers. But  its unique position was not  fully appreciated by modern 
scholars  until Usener2 collected  the fragments  of it and Diels 
scrutinized these  fragments in  relation  to  the  large  body  of  other 
doxographical writings. Diels  proved that  these  writings,  far  from 
being isolated and independent, were virtually all  derived directly or 
indirectly from the Physical  Opinions.3 This  fact has  been of  great 
consequence for the evaluation of  both the  doxographers and Theo- 
phrastus.  Statements of  such writers as  Aetius  have  been  invested 
with the full authority of Theophrastus, and, on the other hand, this 
authority has  seemingly been enhanced by  the  very  number of  the 
doxographers who accepted it.  When a  report has  been traced back 
to the Physical Opinions, scholars have been satisfied that it has been 
traced to  an  "unimpeachable source" and  that  it  "must have  been 
based on direct acquaintance" with the original Presocratic writing. [p. 85]

Der Text untersucht die Lehre des griechischen Philosophen Empedokles über die periodischen Entstehungs- und Vergehenszyklen der Welt. Es wird diskutiert, dass es bisher keine Einigkeit darüber gibt, wie diese Zyklen im Detail zu verstehen sind. Eine verbreitete Auffassung besagt, dass sich der Zyklus in vier Phasen abspielt, in denen sich jeweils eine Welt bildet, die durch Trennungs- und Vereinigungsprozesse der Elemente entstehen und vergehen. Es wird jedoch argumentiert, dass diese Vorstellung widersprüchlich ist und es keine klare Entscheidung darüber gibt, welche Phase die aktuelle Welt repräsentiert. Der Autor kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Vorstellung von nur vier Phasen nicht ausreichend ist und dass die Vorstellung eines Ruhezustands der getrennten Elemente unzureichend belegt ist. Stattdessen schlägt der Autor vor, dass es nur zwei Phasen gibt, in denen sich die Kosmogonie und Zoogonie ereignen. [introduction]

This article by N. B. Booth examines whether Zeno's arguments were a response to criticisms of Parmenides's principle „the One“. Despite evidence that Zeno was concerned with defending Parmenides's „One“, his arguments about plurality seem to refute the "ones" of a plurality. One possible explanation is that Zeno's arguments were used to counter criticisms of Parmenides's „One“ before he produced them. Plato's Parmenides includes a passage in which "Zeno" apologizes for his book on plurality, which has been interpreted as an answer to criticisms of Parmenides's theory, but Booth notes that Plato's characters are idealized and it is not certain that Zeno's arguments were a response to attacks. Booth looks at the arguments themselves for evidence and suggests that if some of Zeno's arguments against plural "ones" were valid against Parmenides's „One“, it would be fair to infer that they were used by hostile critics and Zeno was throwing them back in their faces.
