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]

Movers and Shakers, 2005

In late antiquity, as in all other periods, philosophy had the power to change a person’s choice of life and scale of values. The ‘shakers’ of my title are people who passed on this sort of impact to others. Philosophy, including Platonist philosophy, also addressed the intellectual’s relation to contemporary society. If that society was incurably misguided, then the philosopher might have no option except to leave it. In late antiquity, some took this option, and they are my ‘movers’. Both the ‘shakers’ and the ‘movers’ need to be understood in terms of the philosophy they professed, but a sufficient understanding of their actions does not require a deep analysis of their deepest thoughts. They are within a historian’s grasp, and so I will discuss individuals, their texts and contexts without a close reading of particular arguments. [Introduction, p. 19]

Commentators on Aristotle, 2005

The philosophical commentary emerged as an important mode of expression towards the end of the Hellenistic period and into Late Antiquity, as Plato and Aristotle were regarded as philosophical authorities and their works were subject to intense study. This entry provides a concise account of how the revival of interest in the philosophy of Aristotle developed into the commentary tradition, with special emphasis on the study of the Categories. The commentary format was not only used to expound the works of Aristotle, but also as a vehicle for original philosophical theorizing. The commentators shared the practice of reading and commenting on Aristotle's texts, but there was no philosophy of the commentators in the sense of a definite set of doctrines that all the ancient commentators on Aristotle shared. The exegetical tradition was diverse, and different commentators developed different lines of interpretations in the light of the different concerns that motivated their exegesis.

Empedocles' Physica Book I: A New Reconstruction, 2005

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]

In this paper, I shall try to shed some light on Simplicius’ use of the Ti maeus in his commentary on De Caelo, and particularly on the difference between his own interpretation and that of Alexander of Aphrodisias. [...] In what follows, I’ll try to detail some differences between Alexander’s and Simplicius' uses and interpretations o f the Timaeus-, in particular, I’ll focus on their arguments concerning the generation of the world, the world soul, and the immobility of the earth. Before looking at some selected pas sages, however, it is necessary to outline Simplicius’ general attitude toward Alexander of Aphrodisias and to sketch their overall interpretations of the theme of De Caelo.

In each period, the Timaeus was read in a different context and from different perspectives. During the Middle Ages, scholars were mostly interested in reconciling the rational cosmology of the Timaeus with the Christian understanding of creation. In Late Antiquity, the concordance of Plato with Aristotle was considered the most important issue, whereas in early modern times, the confrontation with the new mathematical physics offered possibilities for a fresh assessment of Plato's explanation of the cosmos. The present volume has three sections corresponding to these three periods of interpreting the Timaeus, each sectionis introduced by a synthesis of the main issues at discussion. This 'epochal' approach gives this volume its particular character.

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.

The purpose of this paper is to propose some discussion of a passage in which a pagan Neoplatonist philosopher of the first half of the sixth century A. D. speaks of the function of the philosopher in political and social life. The Neoplatonist is Simplicius and the passage is found in chapter 32 of his commentary on the Manual of Epictetus. The date of this commentary is uncertain, but it has been argued that Simplicius refers in it to the anti-pagan measures taken by the Emperor Justinian in 529 which put an end to the activities of the Neoplatonist school at Athens and led to the exile in Persia of the school’s head, Damascius, accompanied by his pupil Simplicius and by other philosophers. My translation, given below (II), of the passage in Simplicius’ commentary is preceded (I) by some indications concerning the context in which the passage occurs and will be followed (III) by comments on themes present in the passage.

Porphyry: The first Platonist commentator on Aristotle, 2004

In this paper I shall argue that Porphyry was the first Platonist philosopher to write commentaries on Aristotle’s works. Previous scholars have come close to maintaining such a view, but to my knowledge, this has never been expressly argued. They usually hold that Porphyry was the first of the Neoplatonists (ie. the Platonists after Plotinus) to write commentaries on Aristotle, but not the first of the entire Platonist tradition. One reason for this is that Porphyry’s estimation of Aristotle’s philosophy has not been sufficiently appreciated. In addition, I think, the particular nature of philosophical commentary, composed systematically in late antiquity by philosophers such as Alexander of Aphrodisias, Porphyry, or Iamblichus remains in need of clarification, as does its philosophical motivation. As a result, scholars have tended to credit several Platonists before Porphyry with the writing of commentaries on Aristotelian works, simply because they appear to have made various sorts of comments on one or more of his works. I will argue that these Platonists did not, however, produce commentaries of the sort that Porphyry did, which I consider to be ‘commentaries’ in the proper sense of the term. Their failure to do so, I will argue, owes to their particular shared philosophical background, one which, as I will argue, changes with Porphyry. In the first part of my paper (I) I will outline the difference between the various forms of commentary and the specific form of commentary written by Porphyry. I will claim that in the latter case the author sets out to write a commentary in order to facilitate and encourage its study and assist in its teaching. This presupposes acceptance of the views expressed by the source text and implies an assertion of its authority. The examination of the evidence concerning the Platonists before Porphyry shows that none of them can be credited with a commentary on Aristotle of the sort written by Porphyry (II). I will then try to explain why Porphyry wrote commentaries on Aristotle in the first place (III), which leads me to conjecture that he considered Aristotle’s views in the Categories (IV), the Physics (V), and on first principles (VI) compatible with those of Plato and also sufficiently philosophically valuable as to deserve serious study. I will conclude that Porphyry wrote commentaries on Aristotle because, given his interpretations of Aristotle’s views, he accepted him as an authority next to Plato, and this represented something new in the Platonic tradition (VII).

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]

The article discusses the circumstances of the transmission of the fragments of Diogenes and the reconstruction of his argument by Simplicius in his Commentary on Physics. It highlights the significance of Simplicius' work in shedding light on the ancient philosopher, and explains how Simplicius came to cite Diogenes verbatim. The article also explores the issue of intermediaries in the texts and the difficulties in their construction. The study is important in understanding the history of philosophy and the transmission of ancient texts. [introduction]

Les enjeux de la reformulation syllogistique chez les commentateurs grecs du De caelo d’Aristote, 2000

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 text discusses the introductions to exegetical commentaries by Neoplatonic and Christian authors, using Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Categories as an example. It is divided into two parts: the first provides the historical context, sources and method, and the second develops the two traditional outlines used in the introduction of commentaries on the Categories. These two outlines are found in the commentaries of the four other Neoplatonic authors who commented on the Categories, namely Ammonius, Philopon, Olympiodore and David, and also in the Arabic introductions of Al-Farabi and Al-Kindi. The text offers a comparative study of the commentaries and the introductions, highlighting the differences in structure and form. [introduction]

Les prières en prose de Simplicius, quant à elles, appartiennent toutes à la catégorie des prières conclusives – dont le modèle est fourni par la prière à Pan à la fin du Phèdre de Platon, qui est une référence pour les prières philosophiques 158. De ce point de vue, formel, elles peuvent être rapprochées de la prière finale de la Réponse à Por-
phyre  (De  Mysteriis)  de Jamblique, ou de tel « hymne » en prose de Proclus  marquant  une  césure  importante  dans  la  Théologie  Platoni-
cienne 159. Les autres prières néoplatoniciennes que nous avons citées ou évoquées sont soit des prières initiales soit des prières intervenant 
dans  le  cours  même  d’une  œuvre.  Mais  la  comparaison  entre  toutes  ces prières – souvent complexes – et celles de Simplicius n’est pas 
illégitime et fait apparaître une indéniable parenté : Simplicius s’inscrit dans une tradition spécifiquement néoplatonicienne, où la rhéto-
rique de la prière sert à l’expression d’un savoir théologique et d’une forme de piété personnelle dont le lecteur contemporain entend encore 
les accents. Ses prières sont tout à la fois des prières philosophiques et littéraires, des prières personnelles, des prières demandant des grâces 
particulières, mais aussi de véritables prières cultuelles, dans la mesure où, comme tous les professeurs néoplatoniciens, Simplicius célèbre 
par ses commentaires une véritable liturgie en l’honneur des dieux; et l’on a remarqué aussi l’affleurement d’une dimension théurgique 
que ses prières partagent avec les Hymnes de Proclus.  Ces  différentes catégories ne doivent pas être opposées, car elles se fondent 
ici dans l’unité dynamique de l’acte de parole, qui est aussi un élan de l’âme. Car si ces prières sont des textes écrits, leur vertu anagogique ne peut s’actualiser que dans la vibration sonore et les rythmes révélés par l’analyse stylistique, qui demandent à être prononcés et entendus. 
Le raffinement de l’écriture, ici, appelle une oralisation, et l’on se plaît à imaginer que Simplicius a pu, au moins en son privé, peut-être dans un discours « mental », prononcer ces prières et les faire résonner. Mais  parce  que  ses  prières  sont  l’achèvement  de  commentaires 
destinés à des « commençants » et non à des philosophes confirmés, Simplicius  s’en  tient  à  des  déclarations  théologiques  élémentaires  et  
s’exprime de façon beaucoup plus sobre que Jamblique ou Proclus ; son  style  clair  et  simple  parvient  à  maîtriser  la  solennité  qui  est  de  
règle dans des adresses aux dieux 163, mais comme ses prédécesseurs néoplatoniciens  il  ordonne  chacune  de  ses  prières  au  dieu  ou  aux 
dieux qui veillent, de façon précise, sur l’ordre de réalité visé par son enseignement. À  tous  ces  dieux  Simplicius  demande  un  accompagnement  bienveillant et une aide sur la voie d’une ἀναγωγή indissolublement scientifique et spirituelle qui dépassera la discursivité et à son terme n’aura 
plus besoin du langage, ni même de prière, car elle s’accomplira dans le Silence. [conclusion, pp. 264-267]
