L'ouvrage propose une histoire de l’interprétation de la nature des Formes intelligibles d’Antiochus à Plotin. Il met en lumière l’importance du refus plotinien de l’artificialisme médioplatonicien qui considère les Formes comme des pensées du dieu et subordonne leur causalité à celle du démiurge, fabricant du monde. En considérant les Formes comme des réalités vivantes et intellectives, Plotin bouleverse le sens de la causalité paradigmatique de l’intelligible. Il reprend les concepts de la théologie aristotélicienne, les détourne et les met au service d’une théorie de la causalité des intelligibles qui répond aux objections du Stagirite contre l’hypothèse des Formes. S’appuyant sur l’identité de l’intellect et des intelligibles, il montre que c’est précisément en restant en elles-mêmes que les Formes exercent une puissance générative, productrice du sensible.

In the Neoplatonism of late antiquity there was an exciting and revolution­ ary development in the understanding of the aetiology involved in the generation of living things, and here it will be argued that this extended all the way to the Neoplatonic understanding of the causes of vegetative life. In a way, this should come as no surprise. Hippocratics, Aristotle and Galen had all viewed the processes involved in the generation of plants as analogous to those in the generation of embryos.1 In fact, the embryo was commonly held to have the life-status of a plant, with the mother taking on the role of the earth, at least at the earliest stages of its generation.2 As a result, these thinkers saw the same causal models that govern the gener­ ation of embryos at work in the generation of plants. Indeed, Galen even advises those who wish to investigate the formation of embryos to begin by looking into the generation of plants, The above-mentioned analogy is certainly part of the motivation behind Galen’s counsel, but equally important is that plants are simpler, in terms of both their physiology and their psychology, and thus more perspicuous objects of study. This is what gives us ‘hope to discover among the plants [biological] adminis­ tration in its pure and unadulterated form’.* What is surprising is the conception of vegetative generation and life that results for Neoplatonists. For, as I shall show here, they ultimately concluded that the vegetative souls of individual plants are not self-sufficient. That is to say, the depend­ ence of individual plants on the earth, in terms of both their generation and their preservation, extends beyond mere nutritive needs into the psychological domain of their life activities.

This chapter traces the evolution of the philosophical commentary and aims to show how the increasingly scholarly nature of the commentary culture exerted a distinctive influence on philosophical methods and discourses. While Plato was perhaps a proto-exegete, systematic commenting only took off in the first century bee once an authoritative “corpus” of works had been established. Commenting on specific texts became an important way to philosophize. The ancient philosophical commentary thus emerged as a “natural by-product” of the ongoing dialogue between teachers and students. Good evidence for written commentary is found in the first century BCE and CE, foreshadowing the rise of the full running commentary of a quite scholarly nature by Aristotelians like Aspasius and Alexander of Aphrodisias (2nd c. CE); after Plotinus (205-270 CE) the Platonists added their own interpretive works on Aristotle, leading to the comprehensive exegeses of Proclus (fifth c.) and Simplicius (sixth c. CE).

Baltussen shows how Simplicius’ astoundingly ambitious project in authoring commentaries led to the development of his own views about creation and causal principles: Simplicius wanted to produce nothing less than a synthesis of all previous Greek thinking, and not just a synthesis, but one that would show how all previous thinkers had been in harmony with one another. The result is a version of Aristotle’s views, and yet also belongs distinctively to the sixth century ce. [introduction]

Did it come from nothing or from something pre-existing? How was it caused to come into existence? Is it material or immaterial?

This paper deals with Simplicius’ discussion of Aristotle’s account of predication in his Commentary on Aristotle’s Categories. Of particular interest is the relation between synonymous predication and essential predication. In Aristotle, as well as in Simplicius, both kinds of predication are closely connected. It has been argued in Aristotelian scholarship that, for Aristotle, synonymous predication yields essential predication. It has been equally argued that this assumption is compatible with Aristotle’s theoretical framework, but if applied to Plato, would pose a problem for Plato. Simplicius’ extensive discussion of both synonymous predication and essential predication suggests that he was aware of the deeper problem raised by the assumption that synonymous predication yields essential predication. In this paper, I will argue that Simplicius, by means of an original interpretation of the predicate, not only turns the assumption that synonymous predication yields essential predication into a supposition that is less problematic for Plato, but also creates a framework for a possible harmonization of Plato and Aristotle.

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.

The debate in the sixth century between the Christian philosopher JohnPhiloponus and the Platonist philosopher Simplicius about whether the cosmos was created or eternal was of momentous importance not only to their understanding of the world and of the means to salvation from its trials but also to their views of what astronomical science was and how it should proceed in making its arguments. This brief chapter outlines this debate and then explores the main lines of attack to be taken in determining how Thomas Aquinas, who was supplied by William of Moerbeke with a translation of the text in which Simplicius responds to Philoponus, dealt with Simplicius’ reading of Aristotle in advancing a vigorous polemic against his Christian faith.

Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Categories is the first among three commentaries left by the renowned Neoplatonic philosopher. This commentary holds a significant place in the study of Aristotle's works, as it marks the beginning of the reading of Aristotle's oeuvre from a spiritual perspective. The prayer at the end of Simplicius' commentary highlights the transformative power of studying Aristotle's Categories, allowing the soul to ascend to higher knowledge and seek ultimate happiness. Simplicius' other commentaries, such as his work on Epictetus and De Caelo, similarly express the journey of spiritual conversion and progressive ascension to higher realities within the Neoplatonic spiritual framework. The Neoplatonic curriculum involved an ethical initiation, leading to the study of Aristotle's works and culminating in the study of Plato's Timaeus and Parmenides. Overall, Simplicius' exegesis of Aristotle's Categories reveals the profound spiritual significance and transformative potential of philosophical studies within the Neoplatonic tradition.

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.

Written by a group of leading scholars, this unique collection of essays investigates the views of both pagan and Christian philosophers on causation and the creation of the cosmos. Structured in two parts, the volume first looks at divine agency and how late antique thinkers, including the Stoics, Plotinus, Porphyry, Simplicius, Philoponus and Gregory of Nyssa, tackled questions such as: is the cosmos eternal? Did it come from nothing or from something pre-existing? How was it caused to come into existence? Is it material or immaterial? The second part looks at questions concerning human agency and responsibility, including the problem of evil and the nature of will, considering thinkers such as Plotinus, Porphyry, Proclus and Augustine. Highlighting some of the most important and interesting aspects of these philosophical debates, the volume will be of great interest to upper-level students and scholars of philosophy, classics, theology and ancient history.

This lively and wide-ranging study of the men and ideas of late antique education explores the intellectual and doctrinal milieux in the two great cities of Athens and Alexandria from the second to the sixth centuries to shed new light on the interaction between the pagan cultural legacy and Christianity. While previous scholarship has seen Christian reactions to pagan educational culture as the product of an empire-wide process of development, Edward J. Watts crafts two narratives that reveal how differently education was shaped by the local power structures and urban contexts of each city. Touching on the careers of Herodes Atticus, Proclus, Damascius, Ammonius Saccas, Origen, Hypatia, and Olympiodorus; and events including the Herulian sack of Athens, the closing of the Athenian Neoplatonic school under Justinian, the rise of Arian Christianity, and the sack of the Serapeum, he shows that by the sixth century, Athens and Alexandria had two distinct, locally determined, approaches to pagan teaching that had their roots in the unique historical relationships between city and school.

This book consists of twenty-six chapters on classical commentaries which deal with commentaries from the ancient world to the twentieth century. The book contributes to the interface between two emerging fields of study: the history of scholarship and the history of the book. It builds on earlier work on this area by paying particular attention to: (1) specific editions, whether those regarded as classics in their own right, or those that seem representative of important trends or orientations in scholarship; (2) traditions of commentary on specific classical authors; and (3) the processes of publishing and printing as they have related to the production of editions. The book takes account of the material form of commentaries and of their role in education: the chapters deal both with academic books and also with books written for schools, and pay particular attention to the role of commentaries in the reception of classical texts.

Oktober 1985 fand in Paris in der Fondation Hugot du Collège de France ein internationales Colloquium statt, das zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Klassischen Philologie und der Geschichte der Philosophie den neuplatonischen Philosophen Simplikios zum Gegenstand hatte. Das Ziel des Colloquiums war es, einen ersten Gedankenaustausch derjenigen, nicht sehr zahlreichen, Wissenschaftler zu ermöglichen, die etwa seit einem Jahrzehnt begonnen haben, das philosophische Denken des Simplikios systematisch zu erfassen, gesicherte Text grundlagen durch die Erstellung neuer kritischer Editionen zu liefern und die Texte selbst durch Übersetzungen einem weiteren, philosophisch interessierten Publikum zugänglich zu machen.

Neuedition der sogenannten Corollaria de loco et de tempore aus dem Kommentar des Simplikios zum Buch IV der aristotelischen Physik. Die vorliegende Edition (mitsamt philosophischer und philologischer Einleitung und Annotationen) basiert auf der vollständigen Kollation aller unabhängigen Handschriften des Kommentars (u. a. des Kodex Mosquensis Muz. 3649, der dem Editor der modernen Referenzausgabe des Kommentars Hermann Diels unbekannt war).
