This contribution by Riccardo Chiaradonna aims to reconstruct the reading of Aristotle's Categories 5 by Alexander of Aphrodisias within the context of his exegesis of the treatise. Chiaradonna argues that Alexander was responding to an older particularist or extensionalist reading of the Categories, likely developed by Boethus of Sidon, and that Alexander's interpretation retains certain aspects of Boethus' exegesis while also integrating the ontology of the Categories with that of Aristotle's Metaphysics. Chiaradonna focuses on a well-known section of Simplicius' commentary on the Categories, in which Simplicius opposes three partial interpretations of the subject (ousia) of the Categories and defends a tripartite doctrine of the subject that he attributes to Boethus and Alexander. Chiaradonna concludes that Alexander's reading of the Categories is essentialist or intensionalist, and that it aims to integrate the semantics of the treatise with his ontology of immanent natures. He argues that Alexander viewed individuals as first substances by nature rather than only for us, and that his semantic reading of the Categories is closely tied to his essentialist ontology.

This text discusses the reception of Aristotelian theology by Michel of Ephesus and some Neoplatonic authors. Michel is known for his commentaries on Aristotle's works, particularly the Ethics, which he wrote at the request of Princess Anne Comnène. Michel's personal tone and spirituality in his commentaries, particularly his invocation to Christ at the end of his commentary on the Ethics, may have been influenced by his teacher, Jean Italos, who was condemned for heresy in 1082 for accepting the Platonic Model of Ideas as real. Michel's praise of his teacher revolves around the Aristotelian concept of God as pure intellection, intelligible by rational souls, and the possibility for humans to participate in this Intellection.

This article explores the problem of how perceptibility can arise in a Platonic universe where causes are always immaterial. Dualistic accounts that posit irreducible differences between the res extensa and the res cogitans fail to explain the existence of the material world, which the Neoplatonists endorse as a monistic system where every possible part of the universe is ultimately produced by the First Principle. Proclus provides a subtle answer to this problem by arguing that perceptibility is not something matter has out of itself, but is the effect of a gift of the Demiurge. The ten gifts of the Demiurge are given in the third book of Proclus' Commentary on the Timaeus, with perceptibility being the first gift that determines the lower part of the cosmos, i.e., the corporeal realm. This article argues that perceptibility is not the effect of quantity as such but of the presence of qualities in the bulk that moulds it into the four primordial elements, and it ultimately brings the sensible realm back to intelligible causes.

This text explores the place of Physics in the history of philosophy, specifically its role within the philosophical tradition and its relationship to preceding thinkers. The author discusses how Simplicius classifies Physics systematically and places it within the historical context of philosophical inquiries into nature, aiming to situate Aristotle in relation to his predecessors. Simplicius follows two models, Aristotle's Metaphysics Book Α and Proclus' Commentary on Timaeus, to develop his perspective on the history of philosophy. Aristotle traces the successive discovery of principles and causes in natural philosophy, highlighting the significance of material principles and introducing the concept of a cause in relation to the eternal motion. Proclus, on the other hand, presents a systematic history of philosophy based on the study of types of causes, distinguishing three stages of nature philosophy. The first stage includes pre-Platonic philosophers who focused on material causes, the second involves post-Platonic philosophers who considered both material and formal causes, and the third features Plato, who introduced transcendent causes like the Intellect, Ideas, and the Good. Proclus considers Plato as the culmination of this historical development, surpassing the contributions of Aristotle. Simplicius agrees with the three-stage classification, with Plato as the third moment. However, he sees Aristotle's work as more rigorous and precise in examining causes, particularly in discussing material and formal causes and the significance of the first mover in Physics VIII. Simplicius considers Plato's contributions more principled, while Aristotle's work represents a more scientific approach to physics. In summary, the text explores the historical development of philosophical inquiry into nature, emphasizing Plato's and Aristotle's distinct contributions and perspectives on the study of causes and principles in the natural world.

Aristotle traces the successive discovery of principles and causes in natural philosophy, highlighting the significance of material principles and introducing the concept of a cause in relation to the eternal motion. Proclus, on the other hand, presents a systematic history of philosophy based on the study of types of causes, distinguishing three stages of nature philosophy. The first stage includes pre-Platonic philosophers who focused on material causes, the second involves post-Platonic philosophers who considered both material and formal causes, and the third features Plato, who introduced transcendent causes like the Intellect, Ideas, and the Good. Proclus considers Plato as the culmination of this historical development, surpassing the contributions of Aristotle. Simplicius agrees with the three-stage classification, with Plato as the third moment. However, he sees Aristotle's work as more rigorous and precise in examining causes, particularly in discussing material and formal causes and the significance of the first mover in Physics VIII. Simplicius considers Plato's contributions more principled, while Aristotle's work represents a more scientific approach to physics. In summary, the text explores the historical development of philosophical inquiry into nature, emphasizing Plato's and Aristotle's distinct contributions and perspectives on the study of causes and principles in the natural world.

The Aristotelian commentaries of Simplicius on the works "On the Heavens" and "Physics" would have been significantly different without the access to the commentaries of Alexander of Aphrodisias. Simplicius heavily relied on Alexander's explanations to resolve several difficulties in Aristotle's text, except in cases where Aristotle criticizes Plato. Simplicius suggests that Alexander, being a member of the Peripatetic school, may have hidden the true purpose of Aristotle's criticisms of Plato. Simplicius argues that Aristotle's critiques of Plato were made for pedagogical reasons, to protect students from misinterpreting difficult philosophical doctrines. Simplicius also criticizes Alexander's literal interpretation of Aristotle, particularly concerning the question of whether the universe has an efficient cause. The neo-Platonic system of thought, shared by Simplicius and Ammonius, aimed to preserve the Greek belief in the eternity of the universe but did so by different means than the pure Peripatetic philosophy of Alexander.

Robbert van den Berg in Chapter 13 below fi nds a rather cursory attempt by Ammonius to restore harmony between himself and Proclus on whether Aristotle recognises any names as natural, aft er having said in the fi rst two chapters of On Interpretation that spoken sounds are symbols and signs which signify by convention what is in our minds. Proclus had given an elaborate theological theory of a divine name- giver providing natural names which matched Ideas, not in their sound but in their meaning, and of expert human name- givers possessing only principles ( logoi ) derived from Ideas and projecting the logoi into their imaginations to get a natural representation. In the case of naming the gods, the result could be like the statues which accurately represent gods and (in a theory of statues closer to Iamblichus than to Porphyry as described above) receive divine illumination. Ammonius does the minimum to support his teacher’s divergence from Aristotle. He connects belief in the effi cacy of divine names only with an obscure Egyptian priest, Dousareios, and he qualifies Aristotle’s insistence on the conventionality of meaning only to the extent of pointing out that some names have a meaning that is naturally appropriate.

Proclus had given an elaborate theological theory of a divine name- giver providing natural names which matched Ideas, not in their sound but in their meaning, and of expert human name- givers possessing only principles ( logoi ) derived from Ideas and projecting the logoi into their imaginations to get a natural representation. In the case of naming the gods, the result could be like the statues which accurately represent gods and (in a theory of statues closer to Iamblichus than to Porphyry as described above) receive divine illumination. Ammonius does the minimum to support his teacher\u2019s divergence from Aristotle. He connects belief in the effi cacy of divine names only with an obscure Egyptian priest, Dousareios, and he qualifies Aristotle\u2019s insistence on the conventionality of meaning only to the extent of pointing out that some names have a meaning that is naturally appropriate.

Through the work and scholarship inspired by Richard Sorabji in his series of translations of the commentators started in the 1980s, these ancient texts have become a key field within ancient philosophy. Building on the strength of the series, which has been hailed as \u2018a scholarly marvel\u2019, \u2018a truly breath-taking achievement\u2019 and \u2018one of the great scholarly achievements of our time\u2019 and on the widely praised edited volume brought out in 1990 (Aristotle Transformed) this new book brings together critical new scholarship that is a must-read for any scholar in the field.\r\n\r\nWith a wide range of contributors from across the globe, the articles look at the commentators themselves, discussing problems of analysis and interpretation that have arisen through close study of the texts. Richard Sorabji introduces the volume and himself contributes two new papers. A key recent area of research has been into the Arabic, Latin and Hebrew versions of texts, and several important essays look in depth at these. With all text translated and transliterated, the volume is accessible to readers without specialist knowledge of Greek or other languages, and should reach a wide audience across the disciplines of Philosophy, Classics and the study of ancient texts.

The article discusses the significance of the discovery of papyrus fragments from Empedocles' Physics in Strasbourg, the first time a text from a known Presocratic philosopher has been found in a papyrus. Despite being a disappointment due to the overlapping content with the longest extant fragment of Physics Book I, the author offers a new solution to the puzzles presented by the papyrus. By reconstructing a passage from Empedocles' Physics 131 verses long, the author reveals a more coherent and less bizarre philosophical system and argues that Empedocles composed one poem instead of two. The English translation is written in verse to capture the poetic qualities of the original poem and reveals the extent of Lucretius' debt to Empedocles. The article offers a plausible and coherent account of the papyrus and has implications for different interpretations of Empedocles' system. [introduction/conclusion] |

Eduard Zeller suggested2 that Eudemus’ Physics was an abridgement of the Aristotelian treatise, compiled by Eudemus for his own lectures when he left the Lyceum and set up his own school in Rhodes. We can not I think prove this; but it seems plausible enough. It is clear that Eudemus followed the sequence of Aristotle’s discussion closely; Simplicius used Eudemus’ order of treatment to argue that the sixth book of Aristotle’s Physics was rightly regarded as following on the fifth (Eud. fr. 98W).

[...] Aristotle not only establishes the existence of such supra-natural movers; in Physics 8 and Metaphysics 12 he will also argue for some salient characteristics of these entities. Among these, the two which crop up in the Eudemian fragments can be conveniently labelled rela tional.

His histories of geometry, arithmetic, and astronomy were of great importance and are responsible for much of what we know of these subjects in earlier times.Volume 11 in the series Rutgers Studies in Classical Humanities is different in that it is composed entirely of articles that discuss Eudemus from a variety of viewpoints. Sixteen scholars representing seven nations have contributed essays to the volume. A special essay by Dimitri Gutas brings together for the first time the Arabic material relating to Eudemus. Other contributors and essays are: Hans B. Gottschalk, \"Eudemus and the Peripatos\"; Tiziano Dorandi, \"Quale aspetto controverso della biografia di Eudemo di Rodi\"; William W.

For it enlarges the scope of the information available on this author, highlights the need of, and paves the way to, a new critical edition of the Greek fragments of his works, and provides a clearer view of his life, thought, sources and influence.

Whether the astronomy of the Timaeus had any significant influence on Eudoxus’ theory of homocentric spheres is a matter of contention. Some commentators deny any such influence. Here I argue for a view of the Timaeus’ astronomy, and of Eudoxus’ astronomy, whereby Eudoxus’ work was as much a natural development of the Timaeus as Callippus’ work was of Eudoxus. I also argue for an important interpretative principle. This is that Plato, Eudoxus and Callippus could not account for all the phenomena they were aware of, and were aware of that fact. If the Timaeus presents a prototype, Eudoxus can then be seen to develop this astronomy, making the model more sophisticated and complex while staying within the cosmological principles, and attempting to solve the key problems which were left unsolved by the Timaeus model. He does this in much the same way as Callippus made Eudoxus’ model more complex and sophisticated, and attempted to solve the leading problems in that model. I also consider some further objections to a significant interaction between Plato and Eudoxus, based on supposed philosophical differences, dating, and the evidence of later commentators. I conclude that these provide no significant obstacle to considering there to be a fruitful liaison between Plato and Eudoxus. [introduction, p. 5] |

The text of the Derveni papyrus has often been labeled ‘a commentary’, or a hypomnema and its unidentified author has habitually been called ‘the Derveni commentator.’ The roll, which was found among the remains of the funeral pyre of a Macedonian tomb, has been dated to the last third of the fourth century BC on the basis of the archeological evidence. Moreover, there is an overriding consensus among scholars that the text was composed sometime around the end of the Presocratic period.1 Given this early dating of the text, it appears to be most significant for our knowledge of the early, pre-Hellenistic phase of the commentary tradition. Indeed, if both the dating and the above characterization is correct, the Derveni text is probably the earliest surviving specimen of this genre, and certainly the earliest document providing first-hand evidence of sufficient length for direct textual analysis.Alas, things with the Derveni papyrus are never so clear-cut. Most importantly, it is not entirely evident whether it is legitimate to call the whole text a ‘commentary’ at all, and, if so, with what qualifications. This is the basic question that I shall try to examine in this paper. I shall tackle the issue by breaking it down into two, more or less independent, sets of problems. The first of the two is largely formal and relatively simple. It amounts to asking whether or not the Derveni text, or more precisely what has survived of it, conforms with certain formal and structural features that we normally expect from a commentary. The second set of problems is considerably more complex. To put it bluntly, I shall ask why the Derveni author set out in the first place to interpret the object of his exegesis. This question thus pertains to both the author’s cognitive and pragmatic attitude towards the object of his interpretative enterprise, and, closely related to these, to the specific cultural and sociological context in which the author pursues his exegesis. It is also in this second part that I shall try to present a sympathetic rendering of the so-called ‘allegorical’ method of the Derveni author. [Introduction, p. 37] |

Der Exkurs über Chosroes, Uranius und die Philosophengesandtschaft der athenischen Neuplatoniker im Jahr 532 gestattet einen Einblick in die kulturellen Kontakte zwischen Rom und Persien im 6. Jahrhundert. Er zeigt, daß es im Römischen Reich eine weitverbreitete Kenntnis über die Renaissance der Sasaniden unter Chosroes gab, auch wenn das Bild Persiens zum Teil idealisiert wurde. Die philosophische Bildung des Chosroes rühmten sowohl Perser als auch Römer. Der Exkurs demonstriert das breite Interesse an der anderen Kultur, das sich besonders bei den Heiden fand. Schließlich ver deutlicht er, daß sich Persien im 6. Jahrhundert zunehmend zum Fluchtpunkt für Heiden und andere Verfolgte aus dem Römischen Reich entwickelte. [conclusion, p. 156] |

In this article, the author discusses the impact of Plotinus, a philosopher of the late ancient period, on the development of philosophical thought, including the creation of falsafa and its influence on philosophy in the Middle Ages. D'Ancona Costa explores Plotinus' Platonism and his incorporation of the doctrines of other philosophers, especially Aristotle, into his teachings. She examines Plotinus' key doctrines, including his understanding of soul, intelligible reality, and the Forms, and how they influenced the development of falsafa. The article also discusses the Neoplatonic model of philosophy as a systematic discipline, covering topics from logic to theology, and how it impacted the study of philosophy in the Middle Ages. Ultimately, the article argues that an understanding of the roots of falsafa in the philosophical thought of Late Antiquity is essential for a proper understanding of the development of philosophy.

Since 1986, in a series of wide-ranging studies, M. Tardieu has argued that the ‘Seven philosophers who went East when the Athens Academy closed settled down at Harran (Carrhae) in northern Syria. The town was a famous bastion of pagan cult (we can usefully contrast its neighbour, perhaps its rival, the stridently Christian Edessa: Green 1992, 44-94; Segal 1970). Furthermore, he believes, a (neo)Platonic seat of philosophical teaching persisted in Harran into the ninth/tenth centuries ad, being sustained in the wake of the émigrés’ presence. Its participants presented themselves as the ‘Sabians’, the enigmatic group who had been favourably mentioned in the Koran. They then led the renewed prominence of Platonist philosophy in the Abbasid era which is visible to us in the ninth-tenth centuries. This theory of a long Platonist ‘survival’ has not exactly endeared itself to experts in early Islamic philosophy (e.g. Gutas 1994, 4943; Endress 1991, 133-7; Lameer 1997), but it has been enthusiastically received by one or two writers on late antiquity: P. Chuvin (1990), I. Hadot (1996, who was first attracted by support for her studies of Simplicius, his text and Manichaeism) and P. Athanassiadi (1993, 29) who made it the final flourish of a long article on late pagan philosophy: ‘it was thanks to the stepping-stone of Harran and to Damascius’ inspired decisiveness [in settling in Harran] that Neoplatonic theology reached Baghdad by a clearly definable - if not direct — route from Athens’. I wish to restate why it did nothing of the sort. [introduction, p. 231] |
