L'analyse des textes montre que dans l’œuvre de Simplicius s'établit une correspondance ferme entre le prologue de son Commentaire à la Physique et la prière finale du Commentaire au De caelo. Selon l’ordre néoplatonicien de lecture des traités d'Aristote, la Physique précède le De caelo. Ne peut-on, dans ces conditions, et malgré un ordre chronologique de composition in­verse, expliquer par une raison de fond - c'est-à-dire par une sorte de continuité intentionnelle entre les deux ouvrages - l’absence d’une prière à la fin du Commentaire à la Physique, en considérant que la prière finale de l'In De caelo couronne à la fois ces deux commentaires, puisque l'un comme l'autre instruisent une polémique contre l'impiété de Jean Philopon, et font remonter l'exégète - et avec lui ses lecteurs - jusqu’à une forme d'union avec le corps céleste et avec le Démiurge, c’est-à-dire jusqu'à une « sympathie » donatrice de félicité? Ainsi se trouve atteint le telos évoqué dans le prologue du Commentaire aux Catégories, tandis qu'un fil thématique précis unit les trois Commentaires de Simplicius sur Aristote. [conclusion, p. 489]

Simplicius aligns himself fundamentally with Porphyry and Jamblichus, preserving the tradition of responding to Plotinus’s aporias on the Categories. He also reveals trends in the Peripatetic commentaries that Plotinus was reacting to. Simplicius demonstrates the specificity of the categories ΠΟΤE and ΠΟΥ, using Jamblichus's definition of neo-Platonic skopos, which relies on a unity of meaning to establish the unity of a category corresponding to the unity of a genus. Despite being influenced by Jamblichus, Simplicius ultimately follows a philosophical orientation that aligns him with his master Damascius. [conclusion]

This study aims to highlight the partiality of commentators who present themselves as careful guardians of tradition in their commentary on Aristotle's Treatise on the Heavens. It focuses on the seemingly neutral pages of Simplicius' long commentary on this treatise, which uses and discusses many previous Greek commentaries. The study shows that some of the polemical developments of these commentators are theologically motivated, and that their motivations and strategies are most apparent in the seemingly impersonal pages where they reformulate Aristotelian reasoning using syllogistic reformulation. The study demonstrates that the reformulation of Aristotelian reasoning is not just a technical exercise but rather a reflection of the commentator's theological and epistemological presuppositions, particularly with regard to the difficult-to-classify science of astronomy in antiquity. The study also explores how commentators use syllogistic reformulation as a means of evaluating reasoning and as an indication of their judgment on the status of astronomy as a science.

The study demonstrates that the reformulation of Aristotelian reasoning is not just a technical exercise but rather a reflection of the commentator's theological and epistemological presuppositions, particularly with regard to the difficult-to-classify science of astronomy in antiquity. The study also explores how commentators use syllogistic reformulation as a means of evaluating reasoning and as an indication of their judgment on the status of astronomy as a science.

Rainer Thiel (Stoische Ethik und neuplatonische Tugendlehre. Zur Verortung der stoischen Ethik im neuplatonischen System in Simplikios’ Kommentar zu Epiktets Enchiridion, 93-103) analysiert präzise, wie Simplikios in seinem Kommentar zu Epiktets Encheiridion den Wert der stoischen Ethik bestimmt: die Befolgung des dort Gesagten sei Voraussetzung für den eigentlichen philosophischen Aufstieg. Auch hier erscheint hellenistische Philosophie also als propädeutische Vorstufe, wobei Simplikios - wie Thiel zu Recht hervorhebt - freilich immer auch die Differenzen zwischen Epiktet und neuplatonischen Auffassungen benennt, was er zu seiner Zeit bereits in einer zurückhaltenden, unpolemischen Form tun kann. Von einer anderen Seite her kommt Michael Erler (Philosophie als Therapie — Hellenistische Philosophie als praeparatio philosophica im Platonismus der Spätantike, 105-22) - auch gestützt auf die Forschungen des Ehepaars Hadot - für Simplikios' Kommentar zu demselben Ergebnis (115: "eine gleichsam verschriftlichte Form schulmäßiger Vorbereitung auf das platonische Philosophiestudium") und gewinnt hieraus für Boethius' Consolatio Philosophiae eine überzeugende Erklärung für das Phänomen, daß stoisches Gedankengut in den ersten drei Büchern eine deutliche Rolle spielt, um danach in den Hintergrund zu treten. Indem Erler Boethius' Schrift in den Kontext platonischer Schulpraxis des allmählichen Aufsteigens zur Erkenntnis rückt, vermag er verständlich zu machen, was der rein literarische Vergleich mit anderer Konsolationsliteratur nicht zu erklären vermochte. In der ersten Werkhälfte geht es darum, den noch ganz im irdischen Leben gefangenen Boethius erst einmal innerweltlich auf die richtige Bahn zu bringen, vor allem, seine Vorstellungen zu reinigen, und hierbei kann auch auf die hellenistische Philosophie zurückgegriffen werden, insoweit sie als Vorbereitung auf die im platonischen Sinne eigentliche Philosophie dienen kann, weswegen Erler diese Funktion als "praeparatio platonica" bezeichnet. Neben dieser Aneignung hellenistischen philosophischen Gutes als propädeutischer Vorübung gibt es aber naturgemäß auch Felder, in denen eine Abgrenzung unvermeidlich ist.

The text presents an analysis of the Stoic ethics and its placement within the Neoplatonic system, particularly in Simplicius' commentary on Epictetus' Enchiridion. It explores how the Neoplatonic tradition emerged as a unified philosophical school, leading to the disappearance of conflicting philosophical schools. Despite the Stoic teachings being present in Neoplatonic works, they are generally treated critically and dismissed as opposed to the Aristotelian position. The text then delves into the Neoplatonic system of virtues, starting with Plato's four cardinal virtues, which were further developed by Neoplatonists. It highlights Plotinus' view that the political virtues alone are not sufficient for the soul's ascent to divine perfection, as they are related to the material world. Instead, Plotinus introduces the concept of "purifications" as the virtues that enable the soul to detach from bodily passions and elevate itself towards the divine. The abstract concludes by emphasizing the relevance of Simplikios' application of this Neoplatonic virtue system to Epictetus' Enchiridion, positioning it as an essential tool for the soul's progress towards resemblance to the divine.

The aim of the present study is to determine what position should be assigned 
to Theophrastus’  ideas about place in general, and to fr.  22 in particular,  in the 
Rezeptionsgeschichte of Aristotelian physics.  To this purpose we shall concentrate 
on  the three  main  items  already  referred to,  viz.  (1)  the  interpretation of fr.  22 
in relation to fr. 21  and to Aristotle’s theory of topos to be found in the Physics,
(2)  the problem of Theophrastus’ commitment, and (3) the question as to how our 
source  Simplicius  interprets,  or  misinterprets,  Theophrastus’  position. [p. 142]

[Conclusion, pp. 181 f.]: To  conclude,  then,  the  historical  evolution  of  the  polemics 
may be summarised as follows:
1.  ‘Aristotelian’  claim of the intellect from without;
2. Atticus attacks the intellect from without because of its inability to move;
3.  Aristoteles  of Mytilene  (as  reported by  Alexander  in  Cl)  defends  the  intellect from 
without by claiming its ubiquity;
4.  Alexander  (De intell.,  C2)  criticises  Aristoteles’  solution  to  Atticus’  criticisms  and 
gives  an  alternative  reply  to  Atticus  by  accounting  for  separation  in  terms  of  thought 
processes;
5.  Alexander {In Phys.)  attacks Atticus’  vehicle-theory  on  the grounds that it does  not 
resolve the question at all and alludes indirectly to his previous solution.
Thus, we may conclude that the De intellectu is an authentic work of Alexander, but an 
earlier one than the commentary on the Physics.

Anaxagoras' Other World Revisited, 1996

Very  short  papers  are  not  what  his  readers  most  immediately 
associate  with  the  name  of Jaap  Mansfeld.  But  his  piece  entitled 
‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ runs to less than three full pages of text, 
and  the  notes cover  only half a page  more.1  Perhaps its brevity is 
one of the reasons for its neglect. Schofield in his light revision of 
Raven’s  chapter on Anaxagoras  in  The Presocratic Philosophers does 
not refer  to  it.2  Nor do  more  recent  articles  such  as Inwood’s  or 
Furth’s.3 The neglect is unfortunate.  Of the difficult text Mansfeld 
takes  as  his  topic,  ‘Anaxagoras’  Other World’  seems  to  me  much 
the most persuasive account available in the scholarly literature. In 
what follows I shall advance further considerations in favour of its

[Conclusion, p. 7]: id  Aristotle  envisage  the  same  criticism  as  this  of Parmenides? 
Some help here may be derived from a consideration of what Aristotle 
says in Metaph. i,986bi8-987a2. Aristotle clearly felt that one of his own 
greatest discoveries was the need for Matter as  a substrate to explain 
how what is one in definition can come to appear or be seen as many in 
experience. It is perhaps with this in mind that he proceeds to speak in 
praise  of Parmenides’  insight and  declares of him that
claiming that besides the existent nothing non-existent exists, he thinks that of 
necessity  one  thing exists, viz.  the  existent  and  nothing else  ...  But  being 
forced to follow the observed facts, and supposing the existence of that which 
is one in definition, but more than one according to our sensations, he now 
posits two causes and two principles calling them hot and cold, i.e. fire and 
earth; of these he ranges the hot with the existent, and the other with the non­
existent. (Trans. W. D. Ross)
It  should,  I  suggest,  be  apparent  that  this  fits  perfectly  with  what 
Aristotle  says  in  the  De caelo  and  with  Simplicius’  approach.  It  may 
even in addition be a correct account of what Parmenides was saying, 
though now rephrased  in Aristotle’s own language.  But this is indeed 
another question.

The fourth book of Aristotle’s Physics contains what has come to be known  as  his  ‘classical’  discussion  of  the  problems  concerning physical  place.  The  definition  of  topos  ultimately  issuing  from this  discussion,  viz.  topos  as  the  first  unmoved  boundary  of the containing  body,  became  with  some  exceptions  canonical  in  the later Aristotelian  tradition.  However,  not very surprisingly,  spatial concepts also crop  up  in  a number of other works:  the  Categories (Cat.), De  Generatione et  Corruptione  (GC), and De Caelo  (Gael.).  A survey  of  the  ways  in  which  these  works  use  spatial  terms,  in particular  the  term  topos,  will  reveal  important prima facie incon­
sistencies. The present chapter will deal with these various uses of 
topos  and  will  try  to  fit  them  all  into  a  more  or  less  coherent 
picture. [Introduction, p. 121]

The classification of physical theories by the number of principles 
involved goes back to Aristotle, Physics  1.2; in a less formal way to 
Plato, Sophist 242cd; and perhaps even further to the period of the 
Sophists.1 It is still echoed in modem text-books on the Presocratics. 
What is perhaps less familiar is that, naturally enough, this approach 
was not in antiquity confined to the Presocratics. The present paper is 
concerned with ancient attempts to apply such an analysis to one no­
table successor of the Presocratics, namely Plato. It is greatly indebted 
to the work of scholars expert in the field, notably John Dillon and 
Harold Tarrant; but I hope that it may present familiar material in a new 
perspective,  and, even if its main conclusion is highly speculative, 
stimulate further thought and debate on a period of the history of philosophy which, with some notable exceptions, has been too little studied 
as yet in English-speaking countries at least. [pp. 67 f.]

Through his long struggle with the fragments of Posidonius, Kidd has done more than any other scholar of ancient philosophy to dispel the myth of \"Pan-Posidonianism.\" He has presented a clearer picture of the Posidonius to whom we may have access. The Passionate Intellect is both a Festschrift offered to Professor Kidd and an important collection of essays on the transformation of classical traditions.\r\n\r\nThe bulk of this volume is built around the theme of Kidd's own inaugural lecture at St. Andrews, \"The Passionate Intellect.\" Many of the contributions follow this theme through by examining how individual people and texts influenced the direction of various traditions. The chapters cover the whole of the classical and late antique periods, including the main genres of classical literature and history, and the gradual emergence of Christian literature and themes in late antiquity.\r\n\r\nMany of the papers naturally concentrate on ancient philosophy and its legacy. Others deal with ancient literary theory, history, poetry, and drama. Most of the papers deal with their subjects at some length and are significant contributions in their own right. The contributors to this collection include key figures hi contemporary classical scholarship, including: C. Carey (London); C. J. Classen (Gottingen); J. Dillon (Dublin); K. J. Dover (St. Andrews); W. W. Fortenbaugh (Rutgers); H. M. Hine (St. Andrews); J. Mansfeld (Utrecht); R. Janko and R. Sharpies (London); and J. S. Richardson (Edinburgh). This book will be invaluable to philosophers, classicists, and cultural historians.
