lassicists are often repelled by Boethius' inelegant Latin, awkwardly influenced by the Greek, and his- torians of philosophy complain about his lack of originality. While acknowledging the essential fairness of these two judgments, my pur- pose in this paper is to bring out what these commentaries, and espe- cially the ones on the Isagoge and the Categories,1 reveal about Boethius' working methods in his earliest works on Greek logic. I intend to deal less with the end product than with the road to it, and to point to the stages of development and improvement exhibited within these early works. [p. 367]

Any discussion of Greek Alexandria may properly take its starting point from the work of P. M. Fraser, even if only to dissent from it. In the preface to Ptolemaic Alexandria Fraser observes that philosophy was one of the “items” that “were not effectively transplanted to Alexandria.”1 In his chapter on philosophy, talking of the establishment of the main philosophical schools at Athens, Fraser writes that it “remained the centre of philosophical studies down to the closing of the schools by Justinian in A.D. 563.”2 The first of these statements is near enough the truth, since the Alexandria of the Ptolemies was not distinguished in philosophy as ifwas in literature or science, though even then some important things happened during that period too. But the implication that this situation continued during the Roman and early Byzantine periods is misleading, and by the end of the period simply false.3 The purpose of this paper is to examine some aspects of the considerable contribution that Alexandria made to the philosophical tradition that continued into the Islamic and Christian middle ages and beyond, and to show that it may lay claim to have been at least equal to that of Athens itself. [Introduction, p. 307]

Anaximander's Apeiron is perhaps the most obscure notion in Greek philos- ophy. Aristotle was puzzled by it, suggesting various and greatly differing interpretations of the concept. But while Aristotle's construals were in a sense predominantly ad hoc and exempli gratia, Theophrastus committed himself, at least in the expository sections of his Physical Opinions, to a concise presentation - with attention to their authentic setting and idiom - of the teachings of the earlier thinkers...

The theme of this paper is intolerance: its manifestation in late antiquity towards the pagans of the Eastern Mediterranean, and the immediate reactions and long-term attitudes that it provoked in them. The reasons why, in spite of copious evidence, the persecution of the traditional cults and of their adepts in the Roman empire has never been viewed as such are obvious: on the one hand no pagan church emerged out of the turmoil to canonise its dead and expound a theology of martyrdom, and on the other, whatever their conscious religious beliefs, late antique scholars in their overwhelming majority were formed in societies whose ethical foundations and logic are irreversibly Christian. Admittedly a few facets of this complex subject, such as the closing of the Athenian Academy and the demolition of temples or their conversion into churches, have occasionally been touched upon;' but pagan persecution in itself, in all its physical, artistic, social, political, intellectual and psychological dimensions, has not as yet formed the object of scholarly research.

Cet article représente une contribution de plus à ma critique générale des thèses de Praechter selon lesquelles l'école néoplatonicienne dite «d'Alexandrie» se distinguerait, non seulement par le lieu de son enseignement, de celle dite «d'Athènes», mais encore et surtout par ses doctrines philosophiques et par son attitude envers T œuvre d'Aristote. La comparaison entre elles des préfaces des cinq commentaires néoplatoniciens des Catégories d'Aristote. dont l'un, celui de Simplicius, appartiendrait, selon Praechter, à l'école d'Athènes, et ceux des quatre autres à l'école d'Alexandrie, fait apparaître la concordance fondamentale de la philosophie néoplatonicienne qui était enseignée à Athènes avec celle qui était enseignée à Alexandrie: toutes deux interprètent la philosophie d'Aristote dans la même perspective néoplatonicienne et la même volonté d'harmoniser Platon et Aristote.

This is usually taken to show that the Neoplatonists, who had fled to the Persian court when Justinian closed down the Academy in 529, went back to Athens after 532. That view, she holds, rests on a misreading of the text (…δεῖν ἐκείνους τοὺς ἄνδρας ἐς τὰ σφέτερα ἤθη κατιόντας βιοτεύειν ἀδεῶς τὸ λοιπὸν ὲφ᾿ ἐαυτ–οῖσ…). However, she herself misconstrues ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτ–οῖς as ‘selon leur choix’': that is, on returning from exile to their own accustomed places, these men should henceforth live without fear as they might choose. To yield that version, the Greek would have to be καθ᾿ ἑαυτοὺς. The actual expression means ‘amongst themselves’: they might philosophise, but not in public. That a touch of private heterodoxy amongst the learned few is harmless if it does not stir up the ignorant many was well understood, indeed explicitly so later, in Islam and mediaeval Christianity.

This text is a critical analysis of the location of two fragments of the work of the ancient Greek philosopher Parmenides. The author of the text suggests that the two fragments, VS 28 B 10 (Clement, Strom. 5, I38) and VS 28 B 11 (Simplicius, de Caelo 559, 20), are incorrectly placed together in Parmenides' Way of Seeming. The author argues that there is no evidence to suggest that the two fragments were meant to be together, and that they do not fit into the context of Parmenides' work. The author also suggests that VS 28 B 10 may not be Parmenidean at all, and discusses its possible attribution to Empedocles. The text concludes by considering the language and style of the two fragments, and their relationship to Parmenides' other works. [summary of the whole text]

The theme of this paper is intolerance: its manifestation in late antiquity towards the pagans
 of the Eastern Mediterranean, and the immediate reactions and long-term attitudes that it
 provoked in them. The reasons why, in spite of copious evidence, the persecution of the
 traditional cults and of their adepts in the Roman empire has never been viewed as such are
 obvious: on the one hand no pagan church emerged out of the turmoil to canonise its dead and
 expound a theology of martyrdom, and on the other, whatever their conscious religious beliefs,
 late antique scholars in their overwhelming majority were formed in societies whose ethical
 foundations and logic are irreversibly Christian. Admittedly a few facets of this complex subject,
 such as the closing of the Athenian Academy and the demolition of temples or their conversion
 into churches, have occasionally been touched upon;' but pagan persecution in itself, in all its
 physical, artistic, social, political, intellectual and psychological dimensions, has not as yet
 formed the object of scholarly research. [Introduction, p. 1]

Three basic  notions characterize the  physical world, namely space, time  and 
matter, the first of which is  usually held by  scientists to be  simpler than the 
other two. The history of physics and philosophy has  shown, however, that 
even  the  concept of  space  abounds with  difficulties, to  which  the  doctrines of 
the  later Neoplatonic philosophers form an  impressive witness. It  is  proposed 
to  give  here  a  brief survey of  the  theories of  topos,  meaning variously “place” 
or “space”, from Iamblichus at the beginning of the fourth century to 
Simplicius in  the middle of the sixth. Although most of their treatises were 
clad  in  the  modest garb of  commentaries on  works by  Plato or  Aristotle, the 
ideas  of  these  thinkers undoubtedly represent one  of  the  peaks  of  sophistication 
and  metaphysical acumen in the  whole  history of  philosophy. The deliberations and inquiries of these philosophers on the concept of 
topos  took place against a  long historical background, spanning nearly a 
thousand years from the  Presocratics to  Plotinus. A  short synopsis, however 
condensed, of the earlier developments of the concept will  serve as  a  useful 
introduction, leading up  to  the  period in  which Iamblichus and  his  successors 
started to  elaborate their ideas  on  topos.  This  summary will  be  concerned with 
merely the conceptual aspects of the subject and thus will  not adhere to a 
strict  chronological order. [p. 173]

The figure of the cordial host of the Academy, who invited the most gifted mathematicians and cultivated pure research, whose keen intellect was able if not to solve the particular problem then at least to show the method for its solution: this figure is quite familiar to students of Greek science. But was the Academy as such a center of scientific research, and did Plato really set for mathematicians and astronomers the problems they should study and methods they should 
use? Our sources tell about Plato's friendship or at least acquaintance with many brilliant mathematicians of his day (Theodorus, Archytas, Theaetetus), but they were never his pupils, rather vice versa - he learned much from them and actively used this knowledge in developing his philosophy. There is no reliable evidence that Eudoxus, Menaechmus, Dinostratus, Theudius, and others, whom many scholars unite into the group of so-called "Academic mathematicians," ever were his pupils or close associates. Our analysis of the relevant passages (Eratosthenes' Platonicus, Sosigenes ap. Simplicius, Proclus' Catalogue of geometers, and 
Philodemus' History of the Academy, etc.) shows that the very tendency of portraying Plato as the architect of science goes back to the early Academy and is born out of interpretations of his dialogues. [Author’s abstract]

La matière est-elle identique à V alterile ? » Plotin se pose cette question au commencement du dernier chapitre de son traité Sur la  matière (Enn., II  4 [12] 16). « Plutôt non », répond-il. « Elle est en revanche identique à cette partie de Valtérité qui s'oppose aux êtres proprement dits. » En s'exprimant de la sorte, Plotin fait allusion à un passage du Sophiste (258 E 2-3). Son allusion suppose pourtant l'existence d'un texte qui n'est pas  attesté dans les manuscrits. Cette différence textuelle implique un changement fonda- mental de doctrine, dont les éditeurs modernes ne se sont pas avisés. [Author's abstract]

Spekulationen über historische Abhängigkeiten beiseitelassend, werde ich mich im Folgenden auf die Fragen konzentrieren: (i) Welche Ansätze zur semantischen Analyse von Lokativen sind in Plotins Argumenten gegen die Annahme der Kategorie des Wo enthalten? (ii) Welche Ansätze sind in Simplikios' Verteidigung der Annahme enthalten? Und (iii) wie sind diese Ansätze zu beurteilen?

The ancients ascribed to Anaximander a belief in plural worlds, but the state of the evidence does not make it immediately clear whether these worlds are coexistent or successive. Zeller argued that they could not be coexistent, but his view was challenged by Burnet; yet Cornford, as Kirk puts it, "demonstrated that Burnet's argument . . . rested on a false assessment of the doxographic evidence on this point, as well as on the misinterpretation of several later Presocratics." So far so good, but Kirk goes further and contends not only that coexis- tent worlds have been wrongly assigned to Anaximander, as Zeller and Cornford have shown, but that successive worlds are also a doxo- graphic error; a similar view is argued by Kahn. In this essay I propose to scrutinize our evidence on Anaximander's plural worlds and to exam- ine, systematically and exhaustively, Kirk's and Kahn's criticism of this evidence-both as against the doxographic testimony and on its own merits.

The quality or principal cause exists in its  sub- 
stratum by fate. "Virtue benefits," therefore, is a necessary proposition 
because the  predicate is derived from the  principal cause inherent by 
fate in the subject. In order that  I may show more easily the relation- 
ship among the various terms in this diaeresis, I would like to substitute 
for  "Virtue benefits"  a  necessary  proposition related  to  the term 
"lives." [p. 280]

Porphyry and Iamblichus on Universals and Synonymous Predication, 2007

The article discusses Porphyry and Iamblichus' views on universals and synonymous predication, with a focus on Porphyry's interpretation of Aristotle's theory of genus and substantial predication. Porphyry presents the genus/species relation as a kind of genealogy, which is based on the Platonic theory of the hierarchy of beings. This conception of the genus/species relation is un-Aristotelian, and Porphyry's treatment of genus in the Isagoge does not refer to transcendent ante rem principles. Porphyry's views on universals and predication are based on physical entities such as bodiless immanent forms, which provide real correlates for his universal predicates. In contrast, Iamblichus offers a Platonising reading of the Aristotelian theory of substantial predication, which refers to ante rem genera and the metaphysical relation of participation. Neither Porphyry nor Iamblichus believe that an ante rem form can be predicated synonymously of corporeal individuals. [introduction/conclusion]
