[Conclusion, p. 81]: ies of books that do not sell fast enough. 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 may be abandoned.

This is an extensive review of R. Thiel’s monograph Simplikios und das Ende der neuplatonischen Schule in Athen. The author of the review, C. Luna, reproduces the book’s discussion of the location where Neoplatonic philosophers settled after leaving Athens due to the ban on pagan philosophy in 529 AD. They went to Persia and later returned to the Byzantine Empire after the peace treaty was signed. The only known historical account of their location is from Agathias, who states that they were attracted to the wisdom of King Chosroes and stayed at his court. However, they eventually left and, using a clause in the peace treaty, returned to the Byzantine Empire without having to renounce their philosophical or religious beliefs. The text examines two hypotheses as to where they went: Athens or Alexandria, but a new hypothesis is presented based on Simplicius' texts that the philosophers settled in Harran, a city close to the Persian border. The text also discusses the possibility of Simplicius returning to Athens, Alexandria, or Harran. Thiel, believes it is unlikely the philosophers went to Alexandria because the patriarch of the city would not have allowed them to continue their philosophical and anti-Christian activities.

Few interested parties in the scholarly world of ancient philosophy will, by this stage, be unaware of the story behind Alain Martin and Oliver Primavesi’s publication. It has been hot news, and the publication eagerly awaited, ever since the announcement in 1994 that a papyrus on which Alain Martin was working, under the auspices of the Bibliothèque Nationale and University of Strasburg, had been identified as containing verses of Empedocles, some of them almost certainly previously unknown. Nevertheless—-since there seems no better opening for a reflection on the significance of this discovery and on the value of its elegant publication—1 propose to begin by summarizing what I take to be most important among the undisputed facts before proceeding to ask how they affect our understanding of Empedocles and of what we are doing with texts when we study the Presocratics.

This text discusses different interpretations of the methodological significance of the fragment D.K. B 5 of Parmenides' poem, which states "It is indifferent to me where I begin, for I shall come back again to this point" (Trad. M. Conche). The main question is what the statement refers to and its place in the order of fragments. Two main trends of interpretation are identified, one proposing to place the fragment before D.K. B 8 and the other suggesting to read it either before or after D.K. B 2. The author argues that the circularity of Parmenides' philosophy is centered around the concept of being and the experience of the community of being. The world of Parmenides is a world of trust and confidence in being, where even absent things find a real presence and firm consistency. [introduction/conclusion]

Im Hinblick auf die grundlegende Verschiedenheit zwischen der platoni­schen und aristotelischen Wertung der Mathematik und der Phänomene kann man erwarten, daß es genau im Kontext der platonischen Deutung der aristo­telischen Schriften zu einer interessanten Auseinandersetzung kommen mußte. Ein gutes Beispiel ist der Kommentar des Neuplatonikers Simplikios (tätig nach 530 n.Chr.) zur aristotelischen Schrift Über den Himmel. Wie bekannt, hat uns Simplikios in diesem Kommentar wichtige Informationen über die Astronomie und die einschlägige Wissenschaftstheorie bis auf seine Zeit, das 6. Jahrhundert nach Christus, überliefert. Hier werde ich mich mit zwei wichti­gen methodischen Fragen befassen, die von Simplikios erörtert werden. Er­stens: Was ist die Erklärungskraft der mathematischen Prinzipien im physi­schen Bereich? und zweitens: Was ist die erkenntnistheoretische Bedeutung der Phänomene? In einem letzten Abschnitt werde ich mich kurz dem Einfluß der neuplatonischen Aristotelesdeutung auf das moderne Verstehen der aristo­telischen Methodologie zuwenden. [from the introduction, p. 110]

Philopon  était probablement un chrétien de naissance. Rien en tout cas n’indique qu'il ait jamais été païen. Dès le début de son activité littéraire, il  manifeste  son  christianisme  en  interprétant  Aristote  d’une manière  favorable  à  l’immortalité  de  l'âme  humaine  et  en  le 
critiquant à propos de la création du monde et de l’éternité du mouvement.  Il  fut  peut-être  séduit  un  instant  par les  idées d’Origène,  mais les abandonna bientôt.  La fermeture de l’école 
d’Athènes a  sans doute  produit sur  son esprit une assez  forte impression. Il est remarquable en tout cas que son Contre Proclus est l’exact contemporain de cet événement. Peut-être la mesure de Justinien fut-elle difficilement admise dans les cercles philoso­phiques  d'Alexandrie,  où  païens  et  chrétiens  semblent  avoir 
fait  un  effort  pour  harmoniser  leurs  points  de  vue.  Philopon aurait  alors voulu montrer qu’elle atteignait  les  disciples d’un philosophe dont l’enseignement était fort criticable et qui n’avait 
consenti  aucune  concession  au  christianisme.  C’est  peut-être pour la même  raison  qu’un  peu  après,  dans  son  Commentaire aux  Météorologiques,  il attaqua à plusieurs reprises Damascius, qui  dirigeait  l’école  d'Athènes au moment  de sa fermeture.  A ce moment encore, il prit apparemment une conscience plus nette 
des contradictions entre les doctrines des païen’s et sa religion. C’est en effet dans le Contre Proclus qu’apparaît pour la première fois la critique de la cinquième essence.  Un ouvrage postérieur 
que nous ne possédons plus y ajoutait une réfutation de la théorie du mouvement surnaturel du feu. On peut penser que Philopon craignait  dans  ces  doctrines  une  certaine  divinisation  du  ciel dans laquelle il voyait une atteinte à la majesté de Dieu. Le Com­mentaire  aux  Météorologiques,  composé  après  529,  révèle  une accentuation de cette attitude. On y voit en plus apparaître la 
critique de l’astrologie. Enfin le Contre Aristote constitue comme une somme des griefs de  Philopon  contre le système  péripatéticien. Dans le De  Opificio  mundi, postérieur au Contre  Aristote 
et écrit après 557, la philosophie n’apparaît plus qu’indirectement et cède la place à la théologie et à l’exégèse biblique.Seule une étude exhaustive des œuvres de Philopon révélerait le degré d'exactitude de cette reconstitution provisoire.  Celle-ci me semble du moins respecter plus complètement  que celle de Gudeman  les  indications  sur  lesquelles  j’ai  attiré  l’attention. 
Elle  permet  en  outre  de  mieux  comprendre  les  répercussions des événements de la première moitié du VIe siècle sur l'esprit 
de Philopon. [conclusion, p. 356-357]

This paper is a   piece of detective work. Starting from an obvious excrescence inthe transmitted text of Simplicius's   treatment of the foundations of Presocraticatomism near the beginning of his Physicscommentary, it excavates a Theophrasteancorrection to Aristotle's   tendency to lump Leucippus and Democritus together: Theophrastus made application of the οὐ μᾶλλον principle in the sphere of ontol-ogy an innovation by Democritus. Along the way it  shows Simplicius reorderinghis Theophrastean source in his efforts to nd material which will strengthen thecontrast between Leucippus's   atomism and Eleatic metaphysics. And it  arguesthat in doing so he all but obliterates TheophrastusÕs   attempt to point up theDemocritean credentials of the οὐ μᾶλλον principle.

Logic and Interpretation: Syllogistic Reconstructions in Simplicius’ Commentary on Aristotle’s Physics, 2021

In this article I explain three puzzling features of Simplicius’ use of syllogistic reconstructions in his commentary on Aristotle’s Physics: (1) Why does he reconstruct Aristotle’s non-argumentative remarks? (2) Why does he identify the syllogistic figure of an argument but does not explicitly present its reconstruction? (3) Why in certain lemmata does he present several reconstructions of the same argument? Addressing these questions, I argue that these puzzling features are an expression of Simplicius’ assumption that formal reasoning underlies Aristotle’s prose, hence they reflect his attempt to capture as faithfully as possible Aristotle’s actual mode of reasoning.

(3) Why in certain lemmata does he present several reconstructions of the same argument? Addressing these questions, I argue that these puzzling features are an expression of Simplicius\u2019 assumption that formal reasoning underlies Aristotle\u2019s prose, hence they reflect his attempt to capture as faithfully as possible Aristotle\u2019s actual mode of reasoning.

In Heracitus  and Parmenides assumptions which form the  basis of on the contrary it may be said that difficulties which were less apparent 
as  long  as  the  discussion confined itself  to  individual fragments or 
groups of  fragments become more visible  when the  entire scheme is 
worked out  and  presented.  Perhaps the  wisest  course would  be  to 
admit ignorance on crucial points. If I, nevertheless, prefer to offer an 
alternative  reconstruction - in  essential  aspects  a  revival  of  von 
Arnim's3 -  my  hope is  that,  whether right or wrong, it  will  serve a 
good purpose if it shows that opinions currently accepted are not firmly 
grounded in the evidence at  our disposal. [pp. 109 f.]
our  interpretation  are  subject  to  frequent  reexaminations and 
revisions. With Empedocles  matters  are different.  Here  large 
hypotheses have  for a long time remained unchallenged and are now 
near  the  point  of  hardening into  dogmas.  In  particular the  recon- 
struction of a dual cosmogony in his "cycle", originally a theory which 
had  to  contend  with  others,  is  now  often  regarded as  established, 
treated  as  though  it  were  a  fact,  and  used  as  premise for  further 
inferences. The  only  full  scale  interpretation of  the  evidence  which 
backs up this theory is Ettore Bignone's Empedoclel; yet whatever the 
merits of this book, it can hardly be denied that in the fifty years since 
its publication  we  have  learned  many  new  lessons  regarding the 
relative  value  of  testimonies  and  fragments, the  trustworthiness of 
Aristotle's  reports  on  his  precursors, and  other  questions  of  vital 
bearing on the  reconstruction of  a  Presocratic system.  A  recent text 
book which seeks to  fit  the  material into  the  framework of  two  cos- 
mogonies does not in my opinion succeed in strengthening this position

This article discusses a textual note in Lucretius I.744:1 that was recovered by Bailey and Maas, which replaces "ignem" with "imbrem". The author explores the reasoning behind this change, pointing out that Lucretius' use of "aera solem ignem terras animalia fruges" differs from Empedocles' use of four elements. The article also discusses various emendations of the text, including Christ's emendation of "solem" to "rorem" to create a world of air, dew, fire, and earth. The article ultimately argues for the importance of accurately understanding the original text and its relation to Empedocles' ideas. [whole text]

Late ancient Platonists discuss two theories in which geometric entities explain natural 
phenomena :  the  regular  polyhedra  of  geometric  atomism  and  the  eccentrics  and  epicycles 
of astronomy. Simplicius explicitly compares the status of the first to the hypotheses of the astronomers. The point of comparison is the fallibility of both theories, not the (lack of) reality 
of the entities postulated. Simplicius has strong realist commitments as far as astronomy is concerned. Syrianus and Proclus too do not consider the polyhedra as devoid of physical reality. Proclus rejects epicycles and eccentrics, but accepts the reality of material homocentric spheres, moved by their own souls. The spheres move the astral objects contained in them, which, however, add motions caused by their own souls. The epicyclical and eccntric hypotheses are useful, as they help us to understand the complex motions resulting from the interplay of spherical motions and volitional motions of the planets. Yet astral souls do not think in accordance with human theoretical constructs, but rather grasp the complex patterns of their motions directly. Our understanding of astronomy depends upon our own cognition of intelligible patterns and their mathematical images. [Author's abstract]
