This article addresses questions concerning the characteristics of the paganism of Harran, its eclectic sources, and its development by examining the relationships - real, possible, and fictitious - of various personalities with the city of Harran from Assyrian times till the Mongol attack in 1271. It is suggested that the Sabians used Neoplatonism, which, if Tardieu's analysis is correct, they originally learned from Simplicius, to develop, explain, and justify their practice of astral magic, and that their interest in the Greek astronomy and astrology that astral magic required served to maintain the study and to preserve the texts of these sciences during the centuries in which they were ignored in Byzantium. It is further shown that the Greek philosophical and scientific material available to them was mingled with elements from ancient Mesopotamia, India, Iran, Judaism, and Egypt to form a syncretic system of belief that they could claim to be mankind's original and authentic religion. [Author's abstract]

This pattern shows Thomas, both as a thinker and as an interpreter of the history of philosophy, to be an heir of the Peripatetic and Neoplatonic representations of Platonism, representations in which he was more and more immersed as his work continued. There was always a conflict between Iris conscious and his unconscious Platonism. But there was no necessity that this conflict should force him outside the tradition in which he placed himself. In fact, his most notable forerunners in this self-conflict are Augustine, as he himself gives evidence, and Dionysius, who in his Christian and Neoplatonic following of the Unknown God was probably as obscure to himself as he remains to us. And last we may add Boethius, who, like Augustine, needed Platonism to console his Christian death. [conclusion, last paragraph]

[...] 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. Both the question to what extent motion can be attributed to these entities in virtue of the motion of the entities they move, and the question where exactly these entities are located can be meaningfully asked only in relation to the physical entities, from which they are oth­ erwise carefully distinguished.

When Aristotle died, having chosen Theophrastus as his successor, Eudemus returned to Rhodes where it appears he founded his own school. His contributions to logic were significant: he took issue with Aristotle concerning the status of the existential \"is,\" and together with Theophrastus he made important contributions to hypothetical syllogistic and modal logic. He wrote at length on physics, largely following Aristotle, and took an interest in animal behavior. 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.

In this paper, I consider Proclus’ arguments against Aristotle on the composition of the heavens from the fifth element, the aether. Proclus argues for the Platonic view (Timaeus 40a) that the heavenly bodies are composed of all four elements, with fire predominating. I think that his discussion exhibits all the methodological features that we find admirable in Aristotle’s largely a priori proto-science. Proclus’ treatment of the question in his commentary on Plato’s Timaeus also provides the fullest statement of a neoplatonic alternative to the Aristotelian theory of the elements. As such, it forms a significant part of a still largely underappreciated neoplatonic legacy to the history of science. [authors abstract]

This chapter will examine a small aspect of the scholarly method of the commentator Simplicius. It seems appropriate to start with some justification for dealing with an author from Late Antiquity on the theme of orality and literacy, as it is generally assumed that these terms refer to the ‘early’ stages of Greek culture when w'riting found its way into the intellectual activities of Greek society. As I shall dis­ cuss the methodology of a member of the Platonic school of around 530 AD, the briefest statement to qualify the terms for this period is to say that author belonged to a highly literate and tradition-con­ scious movement, which taught and studied philosophy building on previous attempts at exegesis.

Following Simplicius, Thomas set up the Platonic and Aristotelian philosophical viae as complementary oppositions each of which contributed to the truth. Thomas also followed 
Simplicius in discerning differences between the hermeneutic methods of the two great schools. He reproduced the history of philosophy of Simplicius as soon as he had his commentaries, agreed with many of his conciliating judgments, and used the same reconciling logical figures. He does not identify himself as a Peripatetic or as a Platonist. 
However, when he agrees that Aristotle’s way of reasoning, per viam motus, to the existence of 
separate substances is manifestior et certior, he is sitting in judgment with, not against, Simplicius. For both the sixth and the thirteenth century commentators, Plato and Aristotle are assimilated to each other in various ways, and the real possibility of any beginning except that from the sensible is excluded. Thomas’ hermeneutic is that of the Platonic tradition in late Antiquity – Thomas certainly thought that the truth was veiled under poetic and symbolic language and judged this to be essential for revealing the truth to humans. 
Consistently with this approach, in the exposition of the De Caelo, Aquinas goes so far with 
Simplicius as to find “something divine (fabula aliquid divinum continet)” in the myth that Atlas 
holds up the heavens.106 He would seem, thus, to be on his way to the reconciliation of religious as well as of philosophical traditions. If this should, in fact, be his intent, Thomas would be following Simplicius and his Neoplatonic predecessors in their deepest purposes. This Christian priest, friar, and saint would have placed himself with the “divine” Proclus among the successors of Plato. [Conclusion]

We conclude that we cannot, merely on the basis of the Strasbourg 
fragments, confidendy assign to (book two of?) the physical poem the grue- 
some fragment (now plus its new context) Stein and Diels assigned to the 
Purifications.  Until further evidence turns up, only a non liquet  is feasible, 
and we should keep open the possibility that we are dealing with 'Z?y 
Empedocle de Strasbourg'. And the 6s in the papyrus fragments discussed 
above are simply wrong. The slighdy bizarre interpretation based on them

This paper focuses on the late antique conception of time, eternity and perpetual duration and examines the relation between these concepts and Plato’s cosmology. By exploring the controversy between pagan philosophers (Proclus, Ammonius, Simplicius, Olympiodorus) and Christian writers (Aeneas of Gaza, Zacharias of Mytilene, Philoponus) in respect to the interpretation of Plato’s Timaeus, I argue that the Neoplatonic doctrine of the perpetuity (ἀïδιότης) of the world derives from a) the intellectual paradigm presupposed by the conceptual framework of late antiquity and b) the commentators’ principal concern for a coherent conception of Platonic cosmology essentially free from internal contradictions.

Récapitulons lessentiel des raisonnements philologiques qui nous ont permis de restituer le véritable auteur du commentaire, qui dorénavant doit être attribué à Georges Pachymère. Nous avons vu que l'ensemble de la tradition
manuscrite qui attribue le commentaire à Psellos descend d'un ancêtre commun, l'Ambrosianus H 44 sup., écrit à la fin du XIVe siècle. Celui-ci remonte pourtant à un archétype, écrit vers l'an 1300 et aujourdhui perdu (l'Escori-
alensis D. IV. 24), dans lequel le commentaire figurait sous le nom de Pachymère, ainsi que nous avons pu le montrer grâce au Vindobonensis phil. gr. 248 et à des témoignages du XVIe siècle. Cet archétype de l'ensemble de la tradition
manuscrite du commentaire a été copié sur le Laurentianus plut. 87,5, autographe stricto sensu de Pachymère, dont il se servait pour assurer son enseignement de la Physique. [conclusion, p. 676]

This text discusses the problematic relationship between Hellenism and Christianity and the processes of Hellenization in Christianity. However, it introduces a dissonance by highlighting the disdainful silence of the last ancient philosophers towards Christian literature and their hatred towards Christianity and the Christian Empire during the period of complete Christianization. The author examines the lack of discussion of identifiable Christian theological positions in the works of informed and erudite philosophers of the 5th and 6th centuries, such as Proclus, Damascius, and Simplicius. The philosophers seem to have had only caricatures of Christians and their theology, displaying their misconceptions and prejudices, considering Christians as ignorant, irrational, and enslaved to their passions. The text introduces the construction of the otherness of Christians and their religion through hostile allusions and venomous comments. The text also presents a philosophical perspective of history in Damascius's work, the Life of Isidore, which describes the three ages of humanity, characterized by three types of souls or parts of the soul and their corresponding political regimes. Damascius's description of the current age of Christianity is negative, portraying it as an age of irrationality and misbehavior, filled with cowardice, avarice, and servility. [introduction]

This paper is about the meaning and implication for Presocratics modem exegesis of a comment made by Simplicius about the vocabulary of a passage from Anaximander, which he has just quoted. Simplicius says that Anaximander wrote his sentence about nature of beings in 
more poetics terms: ποιητικωτέροις ούτως όνόμασιν αΰτά λέγων. In their remarks on the passage, Nietzsche and Heidegger not only drew 
attention to the words and thought of Anaximander, but also made us look at that simple comment, that « hiccup » of thought in Simplicius. 
What is it for a philosopher to speak in a more poetic way? We propose to understand that it does not imply the use of images or allégories, 
but a very original way of interacting and thinking in universal terms. [Author’s abstract]
