Review by Victor Goldschmidt: "La modestie de son titre ne révèle qu'imparfaitement l'objet et la portée de ce livre. Il s'agit en réalité de réformer l'idée traditionnelle qu'on se faisait de deux courants de la pensée antique. C'est entre le début du ve siècle de notre ère, en effet, jusqu'au début du viie que s'étend l'espace temporel où K. Praechter, suivi par tous les savants venus après lui, avait situé ce qu'il appelait « L'École alexandrine ». Ce mouvement se distinguerait fondamentalement de l'École d'Athènes, par son abandon partiel des constructions métaphysiques de Proclus et de ses élèves, par un retour au « moyen platonisme », par ses rapports de bon voisinage avec les milieux chrétiens, et représenterait « un lieu de culture philosophiquement neutre, sans credo platonico-païen », et plaçant l'étude d'Aristote au-dessus de celle de Platon. Les traits de cette École se verraient avec une particulière netteté dans le commentaire d'Hiéroclès sur les Vers Dorés attribués à Pythagore, et dans le commentaire que Simplicius, avant d'être entré en rapport avec l'École d'Athènes, a consacré au Manuel d'Épictète. Or c'est précisément en préparant une édition commentée du commentaire de Simplicius (à paraître dans la Collection G. Budé), que l'A. a rencontré « le problème du néoplatonisme alexandrin » ; la thèse traditionnelle lui a semblé alors insoutenable, pour des raisons tant historiques que de doctrine. En bref, comme le dit l'auteur dans une formule remarquable, ce que l'on a pris pour un « néoplatonisme plus simple » est en réalité un « néoplatonisme simplifié », et même « fragmenté », et cela uniquement pour les besoins de l'enseignement. Il est montré, en effet, d'une façon convaincante, que les deux Commentaires, d'Hiéroclès et de Simplicius, relèvent de ce que nous appellerions une propédeutique, c'est-à-dire qu'ils s'adressent à des débutants qu'il s'agit d'initier dans la « première » partie de la philosophie, réputée la plus accessible, en l'espèce l'éthique. On sait que ce problème pédagogique s'est posé dès le début dans l'École stoïcienne et qu'il a été longuement discuté par les commentateurs d'Aristote, qui donnent toutefois, généralement, la première place à la logique. Le VIIe chapitre apporte une contribution importante à l'histoire de ce problème. D'où l'on voit déjà que c'est en apparence seulement que le résultat de l'ouvrage est négatif. Sans doute s'agit-il surtout de réfuter la thèse de K. Praechter, renouvelée par A. Cameron et Ph. Merlan ; la Conclusion se termine sur cette affirmation qu'« il n'y a pas d'école néoplatonicienne d'Alexandrie dont les tendances doctrinales différeraient des tendances propres à l'école d'Athènes ». De fait, le livre contient une interprétation développée des fragments d'Hiéroclès conservés par Photius et, surtout, de son Commentaire sur les Vers Dorés, montrant l'accord de ces textes avec le néoplatonisme « athénien ». Ces exégèses sont conduites avec fermeté, appuyées sur une vaste information, et emportent la conviction, quoi qu'il en soit de tel ou tel point de détail. Quelques questions, d'ordre plus général, pourraient être pesées. — P. 37 : il est certain que le thème du « philosophe dans l'État corrompu » est un lieu commun et que le τειχίον, dans le texte de Simplicius est clairement une réminiscence de la République (VI, 496 c-d). Est-ce suffisant pour infirmer la thèse d'A. Cameron, qui voit dans ce texte une allusion à la place faite aux philosophes néoplatoniciens après l'édit de Justinien ? De telles citations, l'auteur en convient lui-même deux pages plus loin, n'excluent nullement un « intérêt personnel » et, plus généralement, la négation de principe de « remarques autobiographiques chez les auteurs antiques » (p. 39) est exagérée et même inexacte. — P. 128 : l'exposé de Chalcidius sur le Destin, qui est un texte canonique et qui au surplus avait servi à K. Praechter à caractériser le « moyen platonisme », méritait mieux qu'un bref résumé : il était bon de rappeler qu'il s'agit, à la suite d'ailleurs de Chrysippe, du commentaire d'un texte du Xe Livre de la République ; on ne peut pas, en l'espèce, parler de « l'implication mutuelle de la providence et de VHeimarménè », et la note 40 simplifie le problème de la liberté stoïcienne, qu'on n'était pas sans doute obligé de traiter, mais auquel il fallait laisser sa complexité de problème, précisément ; l'on ne saurait écrire, en tout état de cause, que « pour les choses qui sont faites par fatalité, leur contraire aurait pu aussi bien se faire », thèse qui ne semble avoir été soutenue que par le seul Cléanthe. — Le chapitre VII répond à la question, naguère posée par R. Walzer : « Comment peut-on expliquer le fait que Simplicius, en tant que platonicien, commente les maximes éthiques d'un stoïcien ? ». La réponse combine essentiellement deux considérations : l'apathie du sage stoïcien est déjà admise dans le traité de Plotin Sur les Vertus (I, ii) et le caractère sententieux du Manuel qui convient bien à des débutants. Sans doute, du point de vue historique, est-ce là tout ce qu'on peut alléguer. De fait, l'éthique plotinienne ne se résume pas à l'idéal d'apathie et le genre gnomologique qu'on peut faire remonter aux Sept Sages avait trouvé bien d'autres illustrations, ne serait-ce que, comme l'auteur le rappelle avec raison, chez les Pythagoriciens. On se demandera plutôt si, de la part de Simplicius, le choix du Manuel ne s'explique pas plus simplement par l'attrait extraordinaire que ce petit livre a exercé de tout temps sur les lecteurs, et cela en dehors de toute appartenance à telle ou telle secte. Une dernière question, enfin. On doit considérer que Mme Hadot a établi son propos, et que l'on ne parlera plus d'une « école alexandrine », opposée à celle d'Athènes et différenciée de celle-ci selon les traits que Praechter avait cru pouvoir constater. Il reste qu'il y a eu, dans la période en question, des néoplatoniciens vivant et enseignant à Alexandrie. Même en admettant leur « orthodoxie » foncière, ces hommes (sans parler d'Hypatie qui a subi pour la philosophie un martyre qui lui eût été épargné à Athènes) ne présentent-ils pas quelques caractères communs : rien que leur environnement culturel le ferait conjecturer. Mais ce serait là l'objet d'une autre recherche, complémentaire de celle-ci. En attendant, on saura gré à l'auteur de cet ouvrage doublement précieux : par ses résultats intrinsèques, et en tant qu'introduction à son édition à paraître d'un texte jusqu'à présent fort peu étudié."

Praechter \u00e0 caract\u00e9riser le \u00ab moyen platonisme \u00bb, m\u00e9ritait mieux qu'un bref r\u00e9sum\u00e9 : il \u00e9tait bon de rappeler qu'il s'agit, \u00e0 la suite d'ailleurs de Chrysippe, du commentaire d'un texte du Xe Livre de la R\u00e9publique ; on ne peut pas, en l'esp\u00e8ce, parler de \u00ab l'implication mutuelle de la providence et de VHeimarm\u00e9n\u00e8 \u00bb, et la note 40 simplifie le probl\u00e8me de la libert\u00e9 sto\u00efcienne, qu'on n'\u00e9tait pas sans doute oblig\u00e9 de traiter, mais auquel il fallait laisser sa complexit\u00e9 de probl\u00e8me, pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment ; l'on ne saurait \u00e9crire, en tout \u00e9tat de cause, que \u00ab pour les choses qui sont faites par fatalit\u00e9, leur contraire aurait pu aussi bien se faire \u00bb, th\u00e8se qui ne semble avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 soutenue que par le seul Cl\u00e9anthe. \u2014 Le chapitre VII r\u00e9pond \u00e0 la question, nagu\u00e8re pos\u00e9e par R. Walzer : \u00ab Comment peut-on expliquer le fait que Simplicius, en tant que platonicien, commente les maximes \u00e9thiques d'un sto\u00efcien ? \u00bb. La r\u00e9ponse combine essentiellement deux consid\u00e9rations : l'apathie du sage sto\u00efcien est d\u00e9j\u00e0 admise dans le trait\u00e9 de Plotin Sur les Vertus (I, ii) et le caract\u00e8re sententieux du Manuel qui convient bien \u00e0 des d\u00e9butants.

The ancient commentaries on Aristotle have for the most part remained in that strange kind of no-man's land between Classical and Medieval studies that even now holds so many of the productions of later antiquity. On the whole it would be true to say that students of Neoplatonism?for the commentators were usually Neoplatonists ?prefer to occupy themselves with openly Neoplatonic writings. Modern Aristotelian scholars, on the other hand, tend to take very little account of the opinions of their ancient predecessors. In this way they differ from the Medie vals, both Christian and Moslem: as is well known, Aquinas instigated the translation of many of these commentaries by his fellow Dominican, William of Moerbeke, while a century before, Averroes, the greatest of the Arabic commentators, had made ample use of at least the earlier Greek expositions.

Three basic notions characterize the physical world, namely space, time and matter, the first of which is usually held by scientists to be simpler than the other two. The history of physics and philosophy has shown, however, that even the concept of space abounds with difficulties, to which the doctrines of the later Neoplatonic philosophers form an impressive witness. It is proposed to give here a brief survey of the theories of topos, meaning variously “place” or “space”, from Iamblichus at the beginning of the fourth century to Simplicius in the middle of the sixth. Although most of their treatises were clad in the modest garb of commentaries on works by Plato or Aristotle, the ideas of these thinkers undoubtedly represent one of the peaks of sophistication and metaphysical acumen in the whole history of philosophy. The deliberations and inquiries of these philosophers on the concept of topos took place against a long historical background, spanning nearly a thousand years from the Presocratics to Plotinus. A short synopsis, however condensed, of the earlier developments of the concept will serve as a useful introduction, leading up to the period in which Iamblichus and his successors started to elaborate their ideas on topos. This summary will be concerned with merely the conceptual aspects of the subject and thus will not adhere to a strict chronological order. [p. 173]

It is proposed \r\nto give here a brief survey of the theories of topos, meaning variously \u201cplace\u201d \r\nor \u201cspace\u201d, from Iamblichus at the beginning of the fourth century to \r\nSimplicius in the middle of the sixth. Although most of their treatises were \r\nclad in the modest garb of commentaries on works by Plato or Aristotle, the \r\nideas of these thinkers undoubtedly represent one of the peaks of sophistication \r\nand metaphysical acumen in the whole history of philosophy. The deliberations and inquiries of these philosophers on the concept of \r\ntopos took place against a long historical background, spanning nearly a \r\nthousand years from the Presocratics to Plotinus. A short synopsis, however \r\ncondensed, of the earlier developments of the concept will serve as a useful \r\nintroduction, leading up to the period in which Iamblichus and his successors \r\nstarted to elaborate their ideas on topos. This summary will be concerned with \r\nmerely the conceptual aspects of the subject and thus will not adhere to a \r\nstrict chronological order.

This article discusses Plato's Lecture on the Good, the only lecture attributed to Plato by ancient sources. The lecture was attended by Aristotle and other students of Plato and was described as a blend of formal exposition, digressions, and asides. Although it was not a public success, the Lecture became famous in the ancient world for what the Neoplatonists presumed was its Pythagorean content. The Lecture played a role in the history of fifteenth-century Florentine Platonism under its chief architect, Marsilio Ficino, who was interested in reviving Neoplatonism and wedding it to Christianity while also dreaming of revitalizing the day-to-day life of the ancient Athenian Academy.

This article discusses a textual note in Lucretius I.744:1 that was recovered by Bailey and Maas, which replaces "ignem" with "imbrem". The author explores the reasoning behind this change, pointing out that Lucretius' use of "aera solem ignem terras animalia fruges" differs from Empedocles' use of four elements. The article also discusses various emendations of the text, including Christ's emendation of "solem" to "rorem" to create a world of air, dew, fire, and earth. The article ultimately argues for the importance of accurately understanding the original text and its relation to Empedocles' ideas. [whole text]

This text discusses the Aldine edition of Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Physics, published in 1526. The author explains the meticulous process followed by Alde Manuce and his collaborators to prepare and compare various manuscripts of classical texts before printing them. The text also discusses the continuity of quality in Aldine editions after the death of Alde, and identifies Francesco d'Asola as the editor responsible for the 1526 edition of Simplicius. While d'Asola's conjectures are criticized as being "too bold," the author notes that there is a possibility he may have had access to the original source material. Overall, the article provides insight into the printing and publishing practices of the Aldine press during the Renaissance. [introduction/conclusion]

Most scholars who refer to the Greek commentators for help in the understanding of difficult Aristotelian texts seem to expect straightforward scholarly treatment of their problems.2 Not infrequently they are disappointed and complain about the irrelevance of the commentary they read, or inveigh against the incompetence of the commentators.3 Only Alexander is generally exempt from such censure, and that in itself is significant. For he is the only major commentator whose work survives in any considerable quantity who wrote before Neoplatonism. Shortly after Alexander the kind of thought that is conveniently described by this label came to dominate Greek philosophy, and nearly all pagan philosophy and philosophical scholarship was pursued under its influence, if not by its active adherents. It is the purpose of this paper to argue that these facts are not trivial items of background interest, but are fundamental to a proper assessment of the later commentators' opinions on points of Aristotelian scholarship.

The importance of Alexander of Aphrodisias in the Aristotelian tradition in Western philosophy is well established. This reputa› tion however rests almost exclusively on his very influential inter› pretation of Aristotle’s doctrine of the active intellect. The subject of the present study, the de mixtione, is a treatise in which he deals with the philosophically less important topic of the mixture of physical bodies. My aim is to show that both as an exposition of Aristotelian thought and as an extended discussion of Stoic physics it offers an excellent opportunity to observe the development of Peripatetic scholasticism in the face of ideas developed in post› Aristotelian philosophy. In this way I shall try to establish the largely unacknowledged importance of Alexander’s contribution to the Greek philosophical tradition. Alexander is still unfortunately a relatively obscure author and so I have devoted Part One of this study to a basic description of his works and a preliminary attempt to place him in his intel› lectual milieu. His philosophical creativity, as this essay will show, has greater rein in his short treatises than in his monumental commentaries, and it is from these works that his relation to other philosophical schools can best be gauged. Like his de Jato the de mixtione is basically an attack on the Stoics, but it also contains a great deal of important source material and some constructive criticisms of Stoic physics. Much of this I shall evaluate in a com› mentary in Part Three, but these aspects of the work must also be seen in the light of similar contributions by our other sources for Stoic physics as well as Alexander’s own overall relation to Stoicism. For this reason in Part Two I survey the latter before undertaking an extended examination of Alexander’s exposition and critique of the Stoic theory of total blending (xpiia~<; 8~’ lSAwv), the main subject of the de mixtione.

Book Six of Aristotle's Physics, which concerns the continuum, shows Aristotle at his best. It contains his attack on atomism which forced subsequent Greek and Islamic atomists to reshape their views entirely. It also elaborates Zeno's paradoxes of motion and the famous paradoxes of stopping and starting.
This is the first translation into any modern language of Simplicius' commentary on Book Six. Simplicius, the greatest ancient authority on Aristotle's Physics whose works have survived to the present, lived in the sixth century A.D. He produced detailed commentaries on several of Aristotle's works. Those on the Physics, which alone come to over 1300 pages in the original Greek, preserve not only a centuries-old tradition of ancient scholarship on Aristotle but also fragments of lost works by other thinkers, including both the Presocratic philosophers and such Aristotalians as Eudemus, Theophrastus and Alexander.
The Physics contains some of Aristotle's best and most enduring work, and Simplicius' commentaries are essential to an understanding of it. This volume makes the commentary on Book Six accessible at last to all scholars, whether or not they know classical Greek. It will be indispensible for students of classical philosophy, and especially of Aristotle, as well as for those interested in philosophical thought of late antiquity. It will also be welcomed by students of the history of ideas and philosophers interested in problem mathematics and motion. [offical abstract]

The French translation with commentary, the first in a modern language, allows historians of philosophy access to a fundamental work for the understanding of medieval and modern thought. They could also explore more easily the great variety of information contained in the commentary of Simplicius on the history of the exegis of the Catégories of Aristotle, and more generally on the history of comparative philosophy of Simplicius. They will discover some important aspects in the actual thought of Simplicius, which so far has hardly been explored.

Depuis une quinzaine d'années, on assiste en Allemagne, en Angleterre, en Amérique et en France à un renouveau des études sur Simplicius. Différents chercheurs, partis de problématiques et de préoccupations différentes, se sont rencontrés dans ce domaine de recherche d'une importance capitale pour l'histoire de toute la philosophie antique. C'était donc pour faciliter une étude coordonnée et systématique à la fois du texte et de la pensée de Simplicius que la Recherche Coopérative Programmée 739 "Recherches sur les œuvres et la pensée de Simplicius" fut fondée en 1982 dans le cadre du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (C.N.R.S., Paris). Depuis cette date, ses recherches se déroulent en étroite collaboration avec l'équipe anglo-américaine de recherche du professeur Richard Sorabji, intitulée "Ancient Commentators on Aristotle", et avec l'Aristoteles-Archiv de la Freie Universität de Berlin-Ouest dirigé par le professeur Dieter Harlfinger.

Pour permettre aux différents membres de la R.C.P., dont plusieurs habitent à l'étranger, ainsi qu'à d'autres savants intéressés par les études sur Simplicius, d'entrer en contact personnel, de résoudre oralement des questions diverses se rapportant à l'organisation du travail, d'échanger entre eux les tout derniers résultats de leurs recherches et d'engager une discussion sur des problèmes difficiles, j'ai organisé, dans le cadre de la R.C.P. 739, un colloque international qui s'est tenu à Paris, à la Fondation Hugot, du 28 septembre au 1er octobre 1985. Ce colloque a été entièrement financé par la Fondation Hugot du Collège de France, à laquelle j'exprime toute ma gratitude.

Diff\u00e9rents chercheurs, partis de probl\u00e9matiques et de pr\u00e9occupations diff\u00e9rentes, se sont rencontr\u00e9s dans ce domaine de recherche d'une importance capitale pour l'histoire de toute la philosophie antique. C'\u00e9tait donc pour faciliter une \u00e9tude coordonn\u00e9e et syst\u00e9matique \u00e0 la fois du texte et de la pens\u00e9e de Simplicius que la Recherche Coop\u00e9rative Programm\u00e9e 739 \"Recherches sur les \u0153uvres et la pens\u00e9e de Simplicius\" fut fond\u00e9e en 1982 dans le cadre du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (C.N.R.S., Paris). Depuis cette date, ses recherches se d\u00e9roulent en \u00e9troite collaboration avec l'\u00e9quipe anglo-am\u00e9ricaine de recherche du professeur Richard Sorabji, intitul\u00e9e \"Ancient Commentators on Aristotle\", et avec l'Aristoteles-Archiv de la Freie Universit\u00e4t de Berlin-Ouest dirig\u00e9 par le professeur Dieter Harlfinger.\r\n\r\nPour permettre aux diff\u00e9rents membres de la R.C.P., dont plusieurs habitent \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger, ainsi qu'\u00e0 d'autres savants int\u00e9ress\u00e9s par les \u00e9tudes sur Simplicius, d'entrer en contact personnel, de r\u00e9soudre oralement des questions diverses se rapportant \u00e0 l'organisation du travail, d'\u00e9changer entre eux les tout derniers r\u00e9sultats de leurs recherches et d'engager une discussion sur des probl\u00e8mes difficiles, j'ai organis\u00e9, dans le cadre de la R.C.P. 739, un colloque international qui s'est tenu \u00e0 Paris, \u00e0 la Fondation Hugot, du 28 septembre au 1er octobre 1985.

Wenn Simplikios in der philosophischen Tradition des Islams nicht zu einer so festen  Größe  geworden  ist  wie  Alexander  von  Aphrodisias  oder  Themistios, so hängt das mit der historischen Stellung dieser Exegeten inner­halb der peripatetischen Schule zusammen. Ihnen gegenüber ist Simplikios nachgeboren.  Auf der anderen  Seite  hat aber offenbar sein  Zeitgenosse Johannes Philoponos, dem freilich im islamischen Bereich zu Unrecht eine Reihe medizinischer Werke zugeschrieben wurden, einen größeren Wider­hall gefunden, was wiederum mit Ausgangspunkt und Wegen der Überlie­ferung  zusammenhängt.  Wenn  man  dem  Urteil  Praechters  folgt  und  in Simplikios einen der bedeutendsten Kommentatoren des Altertums sieht, so  stehen diese Bewertung  des  Simplikios  und  seine Wirkung  im Islam nicht im  rechten Verhältnis  zueinander.
