The present chapter, by focusing on a selection of passages from Porphyry, Proclus, and Simplicius, aims to explore Plutarch's influence within the Neoplatonists' reconsideration of Platonic philosophy, its aims, roots, and historical development. As we will see, Porphyry, Proclus, and Simplicius integrate Plutarch’s heritage into their own agendas by adapting it to their own specific historical context, which ranges from the third to the sixth century AD, a time when the fundamental reassessment of Platonism also responds to the urgency of supplying new ways to happiness and salvation that could compete with those provided by Christianity. Recalling Simplicius' invitation to taking advantage of different situations, we can conclude that all the Neoplatonists here considered judiciously took advantage of Plutarch's works to justify their own philosophical reflection and to redefine their relationship with the Platonic tradition. Despite discarding some of Plutarch's metaphysical theories, they exploited his legacy according to their own ideological and historical context. Exploring the reception of Plutarch of Chaeronea in Porphyry, Proclus, and Simplicius has helped us discern some continuous strands of thought within Imperial Platonism, notwithstanding the considerable originality and theoretical innovations that have inevitably emerged in a time span of four centuries. In this regard, it might be useful to recall that Plutarch himself was an advocate of the unity of Platonism under the aegis of its illustrious founder, as proven by the existence of his treatise "On the Unity of the Academy" from Plato (no. 63 of the Lamprias catalogue), which is unfortunately lost. The Neoplatonists also share Plutarch's fundamental conviction that Plato's works enclose a coherent system of doctrines that await to be recovered and, motivated by this, engage in an impressive activity of synthesis, exegesis, and teaching of his dialogues, perceived as an extraordinary source of knowledge. In their constant and passionate re-reading of the past and of their own tradition, Plutarch emerges as an animate figure and a dynamic interlocutor. He is not simply a motionless icon. Rather, he is kept in life through the Platonists' strenuous effort of re-thinking and re-discovering their own history and heritage. [Introduction / Conclusion]

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the obligatory and negative character which is credited to the emergence of human language by some Neoplatonic commentators on Aristotle, namely Ammonius of Hermeias, Simplicius and Philoponus. Since the emergence of language is treated by these thinkers as being a result of the “fall”of the soul from the Neoplatonic One, I begin with a brief introduction to the Platonic and Neoplatonic theory of the soul’s separation from the world of the intelligibles and its residual innate knowledge. The second part of my contribution deals with the semantic terms and Neoplatonic principles that Ammonius, Simplicius and Philoponus deploy as they discuss the stimulation of the fallen soul’s content with the help of language, laying stress on the urgent and compulsory presence of vocal sounds in contrast to the non-linguistic communication that prevailed before the soul’s embodiment. In the third part, I explore the concept of ‘diversity’in human language as a consequence of the very emergence of language. Finally, I attempt to explain how the conventionality and diversity of human linguistic communication, abundantly contrasted by these Neoplatonists with the lost unitary status of the soul, came to be viewed by them as symptoms of ‘decay’and ‘obligation’.

In this paper, I shall address a particular aspect of the disharmony, more precisely how it is interpreted and resolved by Simplicius in his commentary on Aristotle’s On the Heavens: the question about the being and temporality of the κόσμος. Plato’s and Aristotle’s positions appear to be contrary on this point, since the former, in the Timaeus, insists on the creation of the world by the Demiurge, whereas the latter, in his On the Heavens, asserts the eternity of the heavens. Far from being a triviality, this difference will lead Simplicius to develop hermeneutical strategies designed to restore the harmony between his authorities. From our perspective, the question about the eternity of the world offers a fruitful case study, insofar as it forces Simplicius to mobilize all the strategies he usually uses in this commentary to restore the harmony between Plato and Aristotle. Also I shall lead here a parallel investigation on two separate fronts. First, I will identify the methodological principles implemented through the attempt at harmonising, so as to contribute to our understanding of Simplicius’ way of exegesis. Then, I will investigate the conceptual effect, regarding cosmology, reached by this attempt. In other words, I will explore how Simplicius’ interpretative tools lead him to produce some new philosophical theses. [Introduction, pp. 101 f.]

There is undoubtedly a Platonic motivation in the commentators’ refusal to accept Aristotle’s claim about the connection of thinking with phantasms as universally valid. After all, it is even plausible that Aristotle was himself implicitly reacting against Plato’s view in Republic VI (510 C–511 C) that thinking – νόησις contrary to διάνοια – is without images. However, even if their Platonic perspective is undeniable, the ancient commentators also have, as I hope to show, valuable arguments to restrict Aristotle’s claim to some forms of knowledge. In this contribution I will discuss the views of four commentators of late antiquity: Themistius, Ammonius (as reported by Philoponus), John Philoponus (in his lectures as reported by a student), and Priscian of Lydia (Pseudo-Simplicius). But before I turn to the commentators I have to recall briefly Plotinus, who was himself an intensive reader of the Aristotelian treatise On the Soul, but interpreted it in his own manner. [Introduction, pp. 187 f.]

Simplicius is well regarded today as an insightful comprehensive, detailed, sometimes repetitive, but generally useful and reliable interpreter of Aristotle. How he reads other authors though - with the possible exception of the Presocratics - is less well studied. In this chapter myaim is to examine Simplicius' interpretation of Plato. By this I mean not Simplicius' views regarding Platonism (though these of course influenced his interpretation), but rather the ways in which Simplicius read the particular dialogues written by Plato, as well as the history that had accumulated by his time regarding Plato's life and thought. While something of a picaresque task, given that Simplicius' extant commentaries all center on texts of either Aristotle or the Stoic Epictetus - the Physics, De Caelo, Categories, and, disputedly, the De Anima, as well as the Enchiridion - nevertheless, his frequent references, allusions, and discussions of Plato's works in his writing provide ample evidence for gathering a good working picture of how Simplicius read him.

Although Simplicius’ commentary on Aristotle’s treatise De cáelo is one of the most valuable sources, in a number of cases even our only source for the transmission of particular fragments of Parmenides, compared to the commentary on the Physics it has for specific reasons been sorely neglected in the past. When J. L. Heiberg in 1894 edited the text of this commentary, he found its Latin translation by William of Moerbeke (1271), although coarse and inelegant in style, to be a highly valuable secondary textual witness. Yet while Heiberg only knew this translation from a faulty 16th-century printing, we are now in possession of reliable critical editions of the books most relevant for the Parmenides text. Recent studies have further yielded that the Greek manuscript of In De Cáelo Moerbeke translated from was definitely superior to all manuscripts extant today. All the more this not only makes possible but also advises an employment ofMoerbeke’s translation for the purposes of textual criticism. The essay gives a brief survey on the complex editorial history of both Simplicius’ commentary and Moerbeke’s translation and the current status of their texts and undertakes a close comparative reading ofMoerbeke’s renderings of the seven direct quotations of passages from Parmenides exhibited in In De Cáelo. It will be shown that by taking recourse to this valuable tool fundamental textual decisions can be confirmed, supported or challenged in a number of crucial passages. [Author's abstract]

This paper sets out to explore the Sitz im Leben of late ancient philosophical pedagogy and research from a common vantage point, the capacity of a good teacher – or a canonical text, read with a good teacher as ἐξηγητής – to reshape and correct the elementary concepts or ἔννοιαι of the student or philosopher. (I) I begin with a brief reflection on the intersection of pedagogical practice and inquiry in antiquity, then (II) briefly explore the theme of how common notions or ἔννοιαιmight be shaped and reshaped by the philosopher who comes into contact with ‘great texts’ of the past, or with a good teacher, in Plotinus and Simplicius, and (III) conclude by considering the historical background of Simplicius’ attitude to past philosophers, and to what extent it might be considered as informed by earlier Aristotelian or Stoic practices Hadot, Ilsetraut, 1983, “La tradition manuscrite du commentaire de Simplicius sur le Manuel d'Épictète.

The attempt to conceptualise Aristotle’s authority and to adapt it to a Platonist perspective is the framework within which the well-known Neoplatonist harmonisation of Plato and Aristotle must be set. This does not imply, however, that after Porphyry one must envisage a flat and homogeneous scenario: rather, the specific issue of how to appropriate Aristotle’s doctrine and, consequently, of how to square Plato’s and Aristotle’s authority, becomes crucial in itself in later Neoplatonism, as Saskia Aerts shows (Chapter ). As a matter of fact, the project of harmonising Aristotle and Plato and of regarding them both as authorities – albeit to different extents – also implies dealing with all those texts and doctrines which seem to sharply contradict one another, and this requires the production of exegetical strategies and ways to balance them. This clearly emerges from Hermias’ and Simplicius’ treatment of the doctrine of the self-moving soul, a core Platonic doctrine which was severely criticised by Aristotle. Aerts shows to what extent the commitment to the joint authority of both Plato and Aristotle can lead Platonists to exegetical twists and extreme harmonising strategies: moving along the broad lines of the Middle Platonist opening to several authoritative figures, by focusing on Aristotle’s role and elevating him to a very high status these authors had to produce a new ideological framework for the management of the issue of multiple authorities.

Das Prinzip der Harmonisierung verschiedener Traditionen in den neuplatonischen Kommentaren zu Platon und Aristoteles ist ein entscheidender Aspekt für das Verständnis der in der Spätantike und im Mittelalter entwickelten Philosophie. Philosophische Kommentare waren in dieser Zeit die vorherrschende Form der philosophischen Produktion, die jedoch ein gewisses Maß an Fachwissen voraussetzt. Die jüngste Anerkennung der Bedeutung der antiken Kommentare wurde durch das von Richard Sorabji initiierte Projekt, sie ins Englische zu übersetzen, angeregt. Das Prinzip der Harmonisierung ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis der neuplatonischen Kommentare und des Grundes, warum sie verwendet wurden, um ihre Philosophie auszudrücken. Perkams stell die Bedeutung der Harmonisierung im Neuplatonismus und demonstriert ihre Auswirkungen anhand einiger Passagen aus neuplatonischen Kommentaren zu Aristoteles' De anima. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Harmonisierung sich aber als ein fruchtbarer philosophischer Ansatz erwiesen hat, der wesentlich zur Entwicklung des philosophischen Wissens beigetragen hat.

In dem Text wird die Bedeutung des Konzepts der Physis in der neuplatonischen Philosophie untersucht. Die neuplatonische Theorie der drei Hypostasen - das Eine oder Gute, der Nous oder die Vernunft und die Seele - wird erklärt, von denen alle anderen Realitäten abgeleitet werden. Die Natur wird als eine Art von Seele identifiziert, aber im Gegensatz zur vegetativen Seele ist sie eine lebensähnliche Kraft, die für die Schöpfung der Form und nicht des Lebens verantwortlich ist.

Der fortlaufende philosophische Kommentar wird für uns vom ersten vorchristlichen Jahrhundert an faßbar und verdankt seine Entstehung der wohlbekannten Tatsache, daß von diesem Zeitpunkt an in  allen  Philosophenschulen  der Antike  der  Unterricht mehr  und mehr die Form  einer Erklärung der Texte ihrer Schulgründer Platon, Aristoteles, Epikur und Chrysipp annimmt. Vorher wird es wohl nur  Erklärungen  zu  schwierigen  Stellen  gegeben  haben.  Von  den Kommentaren zu den Werken des Chrysipp ist nichts erhalten, aber wir wissen z.B. von dem Stoiker Epiktet, daß er in seinem Unterricht Chrysipp kommentierte, wie die Platoniker und Peripatetiker Platon und Aristoteles.  Es ist uns nur ein einziger fortlaufender Kommentar zu einem stoischen Text überliefert worden, der des Neuplatonikers Simplikios zum 'Handbüchlein' des Epiktet, der aber natürlich nicht eine  stoische,  sondern  eine  neuplatonische Exegese des stoischen Textes liefert.

Der Epiktetkommentar ist dazu  bestimmt,  dem Leser die  sittlichen Grundhaltungen zu vermitteln,  ohne die es  für ihn  nicht  förderlich ist, ein Studium der Philosophie zu beginnen. Da es sich somit um eine allgemein gehaltene Einführung handelt, die den Erwerb der bürgerlichen Tugenden mit Hilfe der neuplatonischen Kommentierung des Handbüchleins des  Epiktet  zum Ziel  hat wird  im Verfolg des zu kommentierenden Textes eine breite Palette von philosophischen Fragen  kurz  angesprochen,  ohne  in  die  Tiefen  des  philosophischen  Systems vorzudringen.  Es  ist  daher unerlässlich,  bei  der  Interpretierung  des Epiktetkommentars über die traditionellen neuplatonischen Lehren informiert zu  sein,  wenn man  den  dogmatischen  Hintergrund  der  Darlegungen  des  Simplikios  erfassen will: Die  Aneignung  der  ersten  Stufe  des  neuplatonischen Tugendkanons,  der politischen  Tugenden,  die  erklärterweise  das Ziel  des Kommentars  zum  Handbüchlein  des  Epiktet  ist,  geht mit der Ausübung  der Kultriten  einher,  wenn  sie  wohl  auch  im  allgemeinen  zur Zeit  des  Simplikios  nur  noch  im  privaten  Rahmen  stattfinden  konnten.  Es  gibt keine  Anhaltspunkte  dafür,  daß  Simplikios eine  im  Vergleich  zu  Jamblich,  Hierokles  und  Proklos  abweichende  Haltung  gegenüber  dem  Verhältnis  der  Philosophie  zu  Religion  und  Theurgie  eingenommen  hätte,  d.h.  daß,  bei  aller  Wichtigkeit und Unerlässlichkeit der Theurgie, auch für  ihn die  Philosophie  mit  ihrer rationalen  Erfassung  der metaphysischen Themen eine  unabdingbare  Voraussetzung bleibt.

Die Editoren unseres Traktats hatten schon seit I. Bekker wichtige Textträger der zwei oben behandelten Familien herangezogen. Obgleich eine genaue Untersuchung gezeigt hat, daß auch innerhalb der beiden Hauptfamilien das Spektrum der im Rahmen einer neuen Ausgabe von GC zu berücksichtigenden Handschriften erheblich erweitert werden konnte (und mußte), handelte es sich doch immer nur um eine Verfeinerung betreffs unseres Verständnisses der stemmatischen Beziehungen zwischen den Hauptträgern der zwei weniger kontaminierten Familien a und b. 
Einige Aspekte der indirekten Überlieferung sind schon im Laufe der vorliegenden Arbeit besprochen worden. Trotz all ihrer Wichtigkeit hängt die syrisch-arabische Übersetzung, die zur Zeit nur durch ihre lateinische und hebräische Übertragung bekannt ist, durchaus vom Hyparchetypen ab. Selbst wenn sie im Rahmen der Textkonstituierung der Familie a unterscheidungskräftig ist, bietet sie uns also keine besonderen Anhaltspunkte für die Bewertung der Beziehungen der beiden Hauptfamilien zueinander. Noch weniger ergiebig haben sich diesbezüglich die mittelalterlichen griechisch-lateinischen Versionen gezeigt: Sie gehen auf zwei griechische Vorlagen zurück, die noch heutzutage erhalten sind, nämlich den Laur. 87. 7 
(Burgundio von Pisa) und den Vinä. phil. 100 (Wilhelm von Moerbeke). [introduction, p. 315]

In  what  follows,  I just  want  to  restate  briefly  what  seems  to  me  to  be  the  two basic  points about  Diogenes.  The  first one concerns  what  I  take  to be the center of 
Diogenes’  own  thought,  namely the relation between  his  noetics (so  I  shall call  his doctrine  of Intelligence)  and  his  teleology  ;  the  second  is  about  the  reception  of Diogenes’  thought, and the origin of his reputation as an eclectic. [Introduction, p. 282]

Early Reactions to Plato’s Timaeus: polemic and exegesis in Theophrastus and Epicurus, 2003

We are reasonably well informed about what might justly be thought of as the commentary 
tradition of the late Hellenistic and late antique period. In this series of papers on the theme 
‘Plato’s  Timaeus and  the  Commentary Tradition’  an  obvious choice  of topic has  been  to 
discuss the works of authors who explicitly declare to be commenting upon or clarifying the 
text  o f an  author.  Most papers  in  this  volume have  therefore justly seen  it as their task to 
clarify the interaction between one commentator and the Timaeus.
My perspective is slightly different.  Commentary as  we  usually see it must have  had  its 
precursors  in  some  form  or  other.  As  it  happens,  we  have  some  evidence  related  to  the 
Timaeus which makes this a reasonable assumption. I therefore want to look at two thinkers 
whose  interpretative  efforts  occur  at  the  beginnings  of the  ‘commentary tradition’ .  Here 
things are less clear and well-defined in that at this end o f the scale we are dealing with the 
emergence  o f exegesis.  This  means  that  certain  fundamental  assumptions  -   eg.  what  a 
commentary or a commentator is -  would no longer have an obvious value as starting points 
and that important questions about the interaction between authors and texts (such as  ‘what 
is  a  commentary?’,  ‘what  form  did  the  interpretation  of  texts  take?’  or  ‘when  do 
commentaries emerge?’) require a fresh look. [p. 49]
