Simplicius’ exegetical strategies are explicitly and implicitly formed by what he was reading. What we still have shows him reading Aristotle and his interpreters. His isolation resulting from Justinian’s prohibition on pagan teaching activity may have contributed to the length of his expositions – which makes it plausible, therefore, that both historical and ideological reasons help to explain the size and approach of his works. In broad terms, we can characterise his method as close reading of texts, the use of multiple texts and authors, based on lemmata and an overall mixed agenda (pedagogy, philosophy, ideology). At a more detailed level we saw that he is capable of handling text variations and different manuscripts, speaks in a self-effacing way (a personal voice is rare), and uses advanced exegetical strategies (majority views important; letter vs. spirit; technical terminology). All these features justify the conclusion that his work was a synthesis of both philosophical views and their exegetical clarifications. Overall, Simplicius’ aim to annotate Aristotle’s work and preserve Greek philosophy with its exegetical tradition makes for a truly polymathic program driven by different, and sometimes competing, agendas.

This study explores the idea of harmonizing philosophical discourse, which aims to reconcile philosophical texts that contain seemingly incompatible ideas. Contrary to the assumption in scholarly literature, this discourse was not widely accepted in the philosophical Schools of Late Antiquity. The author examines the reactions of Syrianus, the Head of the Platonic School at Athens, to Aristotle's criticisms of Plato's philosophy, and how Syrianus accepted parts of Aristotle's philosophy but rejected others. The article also discusses the absence of a philosophical curriculum at the time of Simplicius' Aristotelian Commentaries, which led to his concern about the innate unity of ancient Greek philosophy being broken apart.

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] |

Les chapitres 4-6 du Livre II de la Physique d'Aristote constituent le premier essai dans notre littérature philosophique occidentale consacré au hasard et à la fortune. On y trouve l'exemple de la pierre qui en tombant d'une hauteur sur le crâne de quelqu'un le tue, repris par Spinoza dans son Éthique. Aristote et Spinoza s'accordent pour dire que la pierre n'est pas tombée pour tuer. Mais le rejet du finalisme et en même temps de toute forme de contingence chez Spinoza est aux antipodes du finalisme dans lequel Aristote peut inscrire le hasard. Le commentaire de Simplicius apporte sur la doctrine d'Aristote des éclaircissements et des prolongements substantiels, encore peu connus, auxquels la présente traduction, la première en français, donne un accès direct. Simplicius permet en particulier de trancher sur la question de la traduction des termes t??? et a?t?µat?? en Phys. II, 4-6, à savoir, respectivement, « fortune » et « hasard » (plutôt que « hasard » et « spontanéité »). En bon néoplatonicien, il couronne son commentaire par un hymne à la déesse Fortune. Ce livre vient à la suite de la traduction du commentaire de Simplicius à la Physique, Livre II, chap. 1-3, publiée par A. Lernould aux Presses universitaires du Septentrion en 2019. Il sera suivi d'un troisième volume qui contiendra la traduction du commentaire aux trois derniers chapitres (7-9) du Livre II de la Physique, qui portent sur la finalité naturelle et la nécessité.

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’.

Since the emergence of language is treated by these thinkers as being a result of the \u201cfall\u201dof the soul from the Neoplatonic One, I begin with a brief introduction to the Platonic and Neoplatonic theory of the soul\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s embodiment. In the third part, I explore the concept of \u2018diversity\u2019in 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 \u2018decay\u2019and \u2018obligation\u2019.

Dieser Band vereinigt erstmals alle erhaltenen antiken Interpretationen zu der von Aristoteles in De anima III, v.a. in Kap. 4-5, skizzierten Lehre vom Geist (νοῦς) im Original und in deutscher Sprache. Diese Texte bieten nicht nur Interpretationen eines der meistkommentierten Lehrstücke der ganzen Philosophiegeschichte; vielmehr enthalten sie zum Teil auch eigenständige philosophische Auseinandersetzungen über den wirkenden und leidenden, den menschlichen und den göttlichen Geist sowie über die Möglichkeiten geistigen Erfassens überhaupt. Im Einzelnen enthält der Band die Deutungen von Theophrast (4. Jh. v. Chr.), Alexander von Aphrodisias (De anima und De intellectu [umstritten]; um 200), Themistios (4. Jh.), Johannes Philoponos, Priskian (Theophrast-Metaphrase), Pseudo-Simplikios, d.h. Priskian aus Lydien (De-anima-Kommentar; alle nach 500) und Pseudo-Philoponos, d.h. Stephanos von Alexandria (um 550). Da sich diese Kommentatoren nicht selten auf frühere Ausleger beziehen, wurde die Zusammenstellung um weitere wichtige Zeugnisse ergänzt, z. B. zur Aristoteles-Deutung des Xenokrates sowie eines Anonymus des 2. Jahrhunderts. Zwei allgemeine Einführungstexte der Herausgeber informieren über die systematischen Probleme der Auslegung von De anima III 4-5 sowie über die antike Auslegungsgeschichte dieses Textes. Spezielle Einleitungen zu den acht Interpretationen informieren über Leben und Werk ihrer Autoren sowie über die Besonderheiten ihrer Interpretation. Die Anmerkungen in den Anhängen geben weitere gedankliche, sachliche oder historische Erläuterungen zu einzelnen Textstellen. |

The articles in this volume aim to further our understanding of the work and thought of the philosopher and physician Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusain ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sīnā (born before 370 AH/980 CE-died 428 AH/1037 CE), known in the West by his Latinized name Avicenna. It seems to me that what much of the best new schlorahip has in common, and what the articles in this volume aspire to, is a mature and subtle appreciation of the history of Avicenna’s philosophy. By this I mean two things. First, the increasing availability of edited Avicennian texts has allowed scholars to examine a broader spectrum of passages about particular topic than they were able to in the past. This, in turn, has made possible the recent and ongoing attempts to periodize Avicenna’s philosophical career through the careful dating of individual work. Scholars now have to come to terms with the fact that there may not be a single Avicennian position on a given issue, but rather a history of positions, adopted at different periods of his life. Second, many of the ancient commentaries on Aristotle, though available in the original Greek for a hundred years now, have only recently been translated into English. These translations, along with the new scholarly work on the commentators which has followed in their wake, have made a massive but heretofore forbidden resource for the history of late-antique and early-medieval philosophy easily accessible to speciallists in Arabic philosophy. The more precisely we understand how Greek philosophy developed durig the period between 200 CE and 600 CE, the better able we shall be to situate the theories of philosophers such as Avicenny in their intellectual-historical context.

Athenian and Alexandrian Neoplatonism and the Harmonization of Aristotle and Plato by I. Hadot deals with the Neoplatonist tendency to harmonize the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. It shows that this harmonizing tendency, born in Middle Platonism, prevailed in Neoplatonism from Porphyry and Iamblichus, where it persisted until the end of this philosophy. Hadot aims to illustrate that it is not the different schools themselves, for instance those of Athens and Alexandria, that differ from one another by the intensity of the will to harmonization, but groups of philosophers within these schools. |

All disciplines can count on a noble founder, and the representation of this founder as an authority is key in order to construe a discipline's identity. This book sheds light on how Plato and other authorities were represented in one of the most long-lasting traditions of all time. It leads the reader through exegesis and polemics, recovery of the past and construction of a philosophical identity. From Xenocrates to Proclus, from the sceptical shift to the re-establishment of dogmatism, from the Mosaic of the Philosophers to the Neoplatonist Commentaries, the construction of authority emerges as a way of access to the core of the Platonist tradition.

The renaissance of dogmatic Platonism and the revival of Aristotelian school treatises are characteristic features of philosophy in the 1st century BCE. Eudorus of Alexandria played an important role in both these processes, being central to constructing Pythagorean Platonism and its interaction with Aristotelianism. Eudorus had a deep knowledge of Aristotelian school treatises, including authoring a work on Aristotle's Categories. The study focuses on this part of his work, as the Categories were at the center of the Aristotelian renaissance in the first century. Eudorus' program of constructing a Platonic-Pythagorean system capable of replacing Hellenistic philosophies is visible in his work, as well as in other Pythagorean apocrypha. The author discusses the dominant position of Categories in the early history of post-Hellenistic Aristotelianism and the influence of Eudorus on the interpretation of Categories in the first century.

Boethus of Sidon is crucial for the tradition of commentary on Aristotle, in that he is said to have recommended the remarkable project of writing a word by word commentary on Aristotle’s Categories (exegoumenos kat’ hekasten lexin), and he did write such a commentary on Aristotle’s Categories . Th is was eventually to have a momentous infl uence on the commentary tradition, although the earliest surviving commentaries aft er him are not as thorough. In addition, Boethus, in defending Aristotle’s system, seems to have downgraded his key terms, interpreting them as belonging to the lowest available level. Th is is true of Aristotle’s form, of diff erentia, of universal, and of his fi rst fi gure of syllogism. In Chapter 2, Marwan Rashed takes up Boethus’ downgrading of form as non- substance on the basis of Aristotle’s requirement in Categories 2a11–13; 3a7–9, that a substance is a subject of predicates, and not a predicate, so not in a subject. From this, Simplicius tells us, 21 Boethus concluded that, although a compound of matter and form, like Socrates, can be a substance, and so can matter, for example the fl esh and bones of Socrates, this is not possible for the form of Socrates, his soul. His form cannot be a substance, because form, though not mentioned in Aristotle’s Categories , is said in his Physics 4.3, to be present in matter. Th is exclusion of form was to prove unacceptable more than two hundred years later to Aristotle’s greatest defender, Alexander of Aphrodisias, discussed below in Chapters 3 and 4, because in works other than the Categories, Aristotle treats soul as substance, even though it is in body as a subject (Aristotle, De Anima ( DA ) or On the Soul 2.1). Aristotle’s Metaphysics Book 7 also treats form as a good candidate for being substance, and Metaphysics 8 speaks as if a different criterion for substancehood had already been implied in Book 7 (see 7.17): the cause of a thing’s being. 22 Alexander himself corrected Boethus by holding that form is a part of the compound substance, and a part of a substance is a substance. Rashed in Chapter 2 below cites a treatise in Arabic On Diff erence , existing in two versions, which he argues come from a lost Q uestion about diff erentiae by Alexander. It insists that the diff erentia of a genus, for example rational as diff erentiating a species of animal, is substance because it is a part of a substance, apparently because the differentia (rational) is form and form is part of the genus (animal). Th e Question also criticises someone who denies this by again relying on one of the criteria in Aristotle’s Categories for substancehood (just as Boethus relied on another one in his disqualification of form from substancehood), and this is one of Rashed’s reasons for thinking that Alexander’s opponent is Boethus. Th is time, the unsatisfi ed criterion is that substances receive contrary characteristics.

Th is was eventually to have a momentous infl uence on the commentary tradition, although the earliest surviving commentaries aft er him are not as thorough. In addition, Boethus, in defending Aristotle\u2019s system, seems to have downgraded his key terms, interpreting them as belonging to the lowest available level. Th is is true of Aristotle\u2019s form, of diff erentia, of universal, and of his fi rst fi gure of syllogism. In Chapter 2, Marwan Rashed takes up Boethus\u2019 downgrading of form as non- substance on the basis of Aristotle\u2019s requirement in Categories 2a11\u201313; 3a7\u20139, that a substance is a subject of predicates, and not a predicate, so not in a subject. From this, Simplicius tells us, 21 Boethus concluded that, although a compound of matter and form, like Socrates, can be a substance, and so can matter, for example the fl esh and bones of Socrates, this is not possible for the form of Socrates, his soul. His form cannot be a substance, because form, though not mentioned in Aristotle\u2019s Categories , is said in his Physics 4.3, to be present in matter. Th is exclusion of form was to prove unacceptable more than two hundred years later to Aristotle\u2019s greatest defender, Alexander of Aphrodisias, discussed below in Chapters 3 and 4, because in works other than the Categories, Aristotle treats soul as substance, even though it is in body as a subject (Aristotle, De Anima ( DA ) or On the Soul 2.1). Aristotle\u2019s Metaphysics Book 7 also treats form as a good candidate for being substance, and Metaphysics 8 speaks as if a different criterion for substancehood had already been implied in Book 7 (see 7.17): the cause of a thing\u2019s being. 22 Alexander himself corrected Boethus by holding that form is a part of the compound substance, and a part of a substance is a substance. Rashed in Chapter 2 below cites a treatise in Arabic On Diff erence , existing in two versions, which he argues come from a lost Q uestion about diff erentiae by Alexander. It insists that the diff erentia of a genus, for example rational as diff erentiating a species of animal, is substance because it is a part of a substance, apparently because the differentia (rational) is form and form is part of the genus (animal). Th e Question also criticises someone who denies this by again relying on one of the criteria in Aristotle\u2019s Categories for substancehood (just as Boethus relied on another one in his disqualification of form from substancehood), and this is one of Rashed\u2019s reasons for thinking that Alexander\u2019s opponent is Boethus. Th is time, the unsatisfi ed criterion is that substances receive contrary characteristics. Alexander in the Arabic version replies that it is not diff erentiae but individual substances that have to receive contraries.

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 Peripatetic philosopher Boethus of Sidon (mid-first century BC), a pupil of Andronicus of Rhodes, is well-known for his commentary on Aristotle’s Categories, whose fragments are transmitted by later commentators together with testimonia about it. In his exegesis of the Categories, Boethus especially focused on the category of relation (Cat. 7), on which he wrote a speci!c treatise, arguing against the Stoics for the unity of the category of relation. The present paper o"ers a translation and analysis of Boethus’ fragments on relation, all of which are preserved in Simplicius’ commentary on the Categories. [Author's abstract] |
