Through an analysis of the extant testimonia, I shall attempt to establish Strato's theory of place, ultimately favouring Simplicius's account over that of Stobaeus. The arguments and issues involved, however, will take us through a wide variety of the possible sources for Strato and an analysis of their ideas and objectives in providing their evidence. I argue, contra Furley and Berryman, that there is good reason to suppose that Strato held a theory of horror vacui qua explanans, possibly having bor rowed it from some earlier source, and that he did in fact create the microvoid theory. These separate strands tie together into a coherent system that is attributable to Strato based on evidence that is sometimes direct and sometimes circumstantial. Thus Strato will be seen to be breaking away (to a certain extent) from a strictly Aristotelian position, perhaps following Theophrastus's lead. [Introduction, pp. 2 f.] |

The text discusses the study of Impetus Theory and the hermeneutics of science in Simplicius and Philoponus. Historians of philosophy and science evaluate ancient texts through different perspectives based on their philosophical inclinations. The approach taken could be teleological, dialectical, logical positivist, pragmatic, or doxographical positivism, aiming to understand the content and context of validity of ancient theories accurately. However, it is essential to distinguish between the context of validity and the context of origin of a theory, as the causes behind a theory's appearance may differ from the reasons proposed to justify it. The paper highlights the distinctive hermeneutics of Simplicius and Philoponus, with Philoponus adopting a novel heuristic method called constructive criticism to liberate his mind from Neoplatonists' commitments. The conclusion suggests focusing on methodological presuppositions rather than external parameters to elucidate the origin of philosophical-scientific ideas and controversies.

Is the homonym-synonym paradox important enough to force this emendation? I think that it is. If considering the two definitions in conjunction -the definition of homonyms and that of synonyms - it turns out that homonyms qua homonyms are not homonyms and, therefore, that only qua not homonyms are homonyms homonyms, that is a problem. We can resolve the paradox by breaking the conjunction - i. e., by severing the interdependence between the two definitions by eliminating tas ouisas from the first. Would Aristotle have anticipated the paradox and set out his definitions so as to avoid it? We do not have to go so far. We need only believe that, when initially conceiving Cat. i, he had a consistent set of ideas in mind. That is, we need only believe that he had in mind a position that would not lead to the type of problems that typically arise when two definitions are interdependent. [Author's abstract] |

At Categories 12b5-16 Aristotle appears to regard the referents of declarative sentences, such as "Socrates is sitting," as what later writers were to call com- plexe significabilia, i.e., items such as that Socrates is sitting. Simplicius' dis- cussion of this passage in his commentary on the Categories clearly shows the influence of Stoic philosophy of language; but, if we follow the text printed by Kalbfleisch, Simplicius' commentary is seen to be a muddle of Stoic and Aristotelian elements, neither properly understood. It is possible, however, by making a crucial emendation to the text, to preserve the Aristotelian integrity of Simplicius' theory of meaning. On that line Simplicius would be adopting the view that a declarative sentence refers to a thought in the first instance and a complexe significabile in the second instance. This view is plausibly the upshot of combining the Categories text with the first chapter of De Interpretatione. [Author's abstract] |

The figure of the cordial host of the Academy, who invited the most gifted mathematicians and cultivated pure research, whose keen intellect was able if not to solve the particular problem then at least to show the method for its solution: this figure is quite familiar to students of Greek science. But was the Academy as such a center of scientific research, and did Plato really set for mathematicians and astronomers the problems they should study and methods they should use? Our sources tell about Plato's friendship or at least acquaintance with many brilliant mathematicians of his day (Theodorus, Archytas, Theaetetus), but they were never his pupils, rather vice versa - he learned much from them and actively used this knowledge in developing his philosophy. There is no reliable evidence that Eudoxus, Menaechmus, Dinostratus, Theudius, and others, whom many scholars unite into the group of so-called "Academic mathematicians," ever were his pupils or close associates. Our analysis of the relevant passages (Eratosthenes' Platonicus, Sosigenes ap. Simplicius, Proclus' Catalogue of geometers, and Philodemus' History of the Academy, etc.) shows that the very tendency of portraying Plato as the architect of science goes back to the early Academy and is born out of interpretations of his dialogues.

In 1877, Schiaparelli published a classic essay on the homocentric spheres of Eu- doxus. In the years that followed, it became the standard, definitive historical reconstruc- tion of Eudoxian planetary theory. The purpose of this paper is to show that the two texts on which Schiaparelli based his reconstruction do not lead in an unequivocal way to this interpretation, and that they actually accommodate alternative and equally plausible interpretations that possess a clear astronomical superiority compared to Schiaparelli's. One should not mistake all of this for a call to reject Schiaparelli's interpretation in favor of the new one. In particular, the alternative interpretation does not recommend itself as a historically more plausible basis for reconstructing Eudoxus's and Callippus's planetary theories merely because of its astronomical advantages. It does, however, suggest that the exclusivity traditionally awarded to Schiaparelli's reconstruction can no longer be maintained, and that the little historical evidence we do possess does not enable us to make a justifiable choice between the available alternatives.

This text reviews J. Urmson‘s translation of Simplicius' On Aristotle's Physics 5. The review notes that the volume contains a short introduction, extensive notes, a list of textual emendations, and indices of names and subjects. The commentary addresses a range of philosophical questions, including the distinction between active and passive transformations and the relation of quality and quantity. Overall, Simplicius' commentary is important for understanding the Neoplatonic reconciliations and unifications and the move from substance to subjectivity in western philosophy. [whole text] |

The article discusses Aristotle's treatment of knowledge of the principles of natural beings in his Physics, focusing on the process of induction and the contradictions in his approach. The author argues that the discovery of principles through analysis and empirical generalization is based on sensory data, and suggests that the autonomy of physical discourse was a contested issue among commentators. The article highlights divergences in interpretation regarding the existence of physical principles and discusses variations in the manuscript tradition. [introduction/conclusion] |

Th e historian Agathias (Hist. II 30.3-31.4) relates that under the Emperor Justinian seven philosophers (Damascius, Simplicius, Eulamius, Priscianus, Hermeias, Diogenes, and Isidorus) sought refuge in Persia because of their own country’s anti-pagan laws but that they ultimately returned in 532 to the Roman Empire. There have been many hypotheses about the fate of these philosophers after their return. Most recently M. Tardieu has argued that these philosophers went to Harran, a town that was located on the Persian frontier and that remained mostly pagan until the tenth century. This hypothesis, which M. Tardieu had backed with a number of arguments, has found many echoes, both positive and negative, in subsequent secondary literature. Yet the complexity of the issue has never really been faced by Tardieu’s critics. For example, the fact that, according to Arab sources, Simplicius could found a famous school of mathematics has been completely neglected, as has the fact that details of the dogmas of Manicheanism, which he obtained through his encounter with a member of that sect, enable one to envision a Mesopotamian locale for this encounter. The present study aims at taking stock of the elements of this controversy, beginning with a detailed article by D. Watts and a review by C. Luna. Watts mostly bases his criticisms of M. Tardieu and me on Luna’s summary. In the conclusion (pages 58-59), I summarize the main points that seem to me to confirm M. Tardieu’s hypothesis. [Author's abstract] |

lassicists are often repelled by Boethius' inelegant Latin, awkwardly influenced by the Greek, and his- torians of philosophy complain about his lack of originality. While acknowledging the essential fairness of these two judgments, my pur- pose in this paper is to bring out what these commentaries, and espe- cially the ones on the Isagoge and the Categories,1 reveal about Boethius' working methods in his earliest works on Greek logic. I intend to deal less with the end product than with the road to it, and to point to the stages of development and improvement exhibited within these early works. [p. 367] |

In what may be our oldest surviving fragment of Greek literary prose [DK 12A9, In Phys. 24.13 ff.], Anaximander refers to the redress of injustice among parties alternately injured and injuring. Since the parties in question are impersonal entities, and the redress is a cosmic process, Simplicius, probably repeating a remark of Theophrastus, comments on Anaximander's mode of expression as 'rather poetical'. What in plain terms was the meaning of the metaphor? In this paper I wish to look again at what Viastos has described as the most controversial text in Presocratic philosophy. [introduction, p. 1] |

Dieser Text untersucht Simplicius' Kommentar zum Doxographen Moderatos von Gades in seinem Kommentar zu Porphyrios' Werk "Über die Materie". Der doxographische Bericht besteht aus zwei Teilen, wobei der erste eine hierarchische Systematik von drei Entitäten präsentiert - dem transzendenten Einen, der Welt der erkennbaren Formen und dem Bereich der Seele - und der zweite die Herkunft der Materie gemäß einem metaphysischen Modell erläutert. Die Analyse dieser Doxographie verdeutlicht ihre Bedeutung für das Verständnis platonischer Einflüsse auf spätere Denker. E.R. Dodds und Matthias Baltes haben das Verhältnis zwischen Moderatos' Hierarchie und Platons Parmenides aufgedeckt und die Rolle des Logos in der Schöpfung der Wesen sowie die Verbindung der ycopa mit der Seele als "seelischer Raum" (psychischer Raum) identifiziert, der es der Seele ermöglicht, den Weltkörper zu umfassen. Obwohl Baltes überzeugende Interpretationen liefert, bleiben einige Fragen und Herausforderungen hinsichtlich der Identifizierung der "Seienden", der Beziehung zwischen dem Logos und den drei Entitäten, um sinnliche Objekte zu beschreiben. Trotz offener Fragen trägt der Text zu den laufenden Diskussionen über die neupythagoreische Interpretation des Platonismus und ihren Einfluss auf spätere philosophische Gedanken bei. Er betont die Bedeutung einer detaillierten und historisch fundierten Untersuchung der Doxographie, um die Komplexität und Implikationen von Moderatos' philosophischem System und dessen Verbindungen zu platonischen Lehren vollständig zu erfassen.

Twenty two years ago, when tiiat growtii in interest in Neoplatonism which is a s??a?t??? of this conference was only just getting under way, two large booksappeared which will be famUiar to all who are interested in Iamblichus. I am referring,of course, to JM. Dillon's collection of die fragmentary remains of Iamblichus'commentaries on Plato's dialogues, supplied with an ample commentary to boot,1 andB. Dalsgaard Larsen's Jamblique de Chalets. Exégète et Philosophe, of which some240 pages are devoted to his role as exégète: a collection of exegetical fragmentsappeared as a 130 page appendix.2 Larsen's book covered the interpretation of bothPlato and Aristode, and pre-empted a second volume of Dillon's which was to dealwith Aristode. I mention these books because we are, inter alia, taking stock, and it isremarkable that not much attention has been paid since dien to Iamblichus' role as acommentator. Perhaps tiiey have had die same effect on die study of this aspect ofIamblichus as Proclus' work had on the interpretation of Plato at Alexandria.Be that as it may, I intend to look, not very originally, at Iamblichus' activitiesas a commentator on philosophical works— and so I shall say notiring about dietwenty-eight books or more of his lost commentary on die Chaldaean Oracles*— andalso to say sometiring, in die manner of core samples, about how his expositionscompare with those of the later commentators. Though the process can be traced back in part to Porphyry,4 I drink it is safe to say tiiat Iamblichus was the firstNeoplatonist, at least of those about whom we are reasonably well informed, to set outin a systematic way to write commentaries on the major works of both Plato and—inIamblichus' case to a lesser extent—Aristotle too.

Aristotle bequeathed his followers certain notions that were of great importance to posterity. Some of them were taken up and discussed at length in Hellenistic schools, but others escaped notice; katharsis belongs to the latter group. This is all the more surprising since the Stoics made considerable effort to demonstrate that passions (pathe) can be tamed by reason. The Stoic ideal of freedom from passions, which implies conversion of each passion into eupathei, may at first sight have some affinity with the interpretation of katharsis? which focuses on the ethical importance of emotions for Aristotle. But a closer look at the peculiar character of the Stoics' overall conception of the soul reveals that any similarity is but mere appearance. It is only among some of the later Neoplatonists that Aristotle's concept regains the significance it once had. By that time, it gains a strong ethical emphasis. As far as our evidence allows us to say, the development started in the early imperial age. My aim is to follow the renascence of this notion in Iamblichus, its antecedents among the Platonists of the early empire, and the way Proclus and Simplicius reacted to Iamblichus' attempt.

This text discusses Iamblichus' commentary on Porphyry's large commentary on Aristotle's Categories. Porphyry is credited with the setting out and responses to all the aporiai that were concocted by critics of the Categories in the Middle Platonic period, as well as with references to Stoic doctrines in the commentary. Iamblichus added certain criticisms, modifications of Porphyry, relevant passages of Archytas, and some "higher criticism" or intellectual interpretation of nearly all sections of the work. Iamblichus' contribution was to apply his techniques of allegorical exegesis to Aristotle's Categories, where he was able to apply much the same method as he did with Plato's dialogues. Iamblichus' method of commentary is discussed in detail, including his definition of the skopos, or essential subject matter, of the treatise, which concerned all three possible subject matters for the Categories: words, things, and concepts.
