The attempt to conceptualise Aristotle’s authority and to adapt it to a Platonist perspective is the framework within which the well-known Neoplatonist harmonisation of Plato and Aristotle must be set. This does not imply, however, that after Porphyry one must envisage a flat and homogeneous scenario: rather, the specific issue of how to appropriate Aristotle’s doctrine and, consequently, of how to square Plato’s and Aristotle’s authority, becomes crucial in itself in later Neoplatonism, as Saskia Aerts shows (Chapter ). As a matter of fact, the project of harmonising Aristotle and Plato and of regarding them both as authorities – albeit to different extents – also implies dealing with all those texts and doctrines which seem to sharply contradict one another, and this requires the production of exegetical strategies and ways to balance them. This clearly emerges from Hermias’ and Simplicius’ treatment of the doctrine of the self-moving soul, a core Platonic doctrine which was severely criticised by Aristotle. Aerts shows to what extent the commitment to the joint authority of both Plato and Aristotle can lead Platonists to exegetical twists and extreme harmonising strategies: moving along the broad lines of the Middle Platonist opening to several authoritative figures, by focusing on Aristotle’s role and elevating him to a very high status these authors had to produce a new ideological framework for the management of the issue of multiple authorities.

Simplicius of Cilicia (ca. 480–560 CE), roughly a contemporary of John Philoponus, is without doubt the most important Neoplatonic commentator on Aristotle and one of the two most influential exegetes within the Aristotelian tradition, along with Alexander of Aphrodisias (around 200 CE). Simplicius’ works are an unmatched source for the intellectual traditions that preceded him: Presocratic, Platonic, and especially the Peripatetic tradition. He is also an independent thinker in his own right, with a coherent philosophical agenda. Best known for his tendency to harmonise Plato and Aristotle, he nevertheless criticised Aristotle on several occasions and considered himself a loyal follower of Plato. Writing in an age when Christianity was the dominant religious and political view, Simplicius aimed to show that the Hellenic tradition is not only much older, but also more venerable and more coherent than the Christian tradition. Unimpressed by charges of alleged contradictions among Greek philosophers, Simplicius repeatedly proclaimed that “the ancient wisdom (palaia philosophia) remains unrefuted” (In Phys. 77.11). It is also noteworthy that, like Proclus and other Neoplatonists, Simplicius presents himself as a thinker for whom philosophy and theology form a complete unity. As has frequently been observed, Simplicius’ works, despite their scholarly outlook, have an important spiritual dimension (see §5). Simplicius’ commentaries have only recently been studied with an eye to his own philosophical views. He was long considered a mere source for Greek philosophy, and, as noted by Baltussen (2010: 714), Simplicius’ importance as a source for ancient Greek philosophy and science has long overshadowed his contributions as an independent thinker. Nineteenth-century Quellenforschung was especially interested in his Commentary on the Physics, which was edited in two volumes (Simplicii in Aristotelis Physicorum libros quattuor priores/quattuor posteriores, comprising almost 1500 pages) by Hermann Diels; this commentary served as the basis for Diels’ edition of the Doxographi Graeci (Greek Doxographers), which includes the main doctrines on natural philosophy according to ancient doxographical compendia. One of the aims of this entry is to emphasise that Simplicius’ writings have much more to offer than a mere doxography of his predecessors—but always bearing in mind that it is only possible to appreciate how Simplicius arranges and interprets the material at his disposal by duly attending to his Neoplatonic agenda.

The essay discusses the treatment of the void in Simplicius’ Commentary on the cenrtral chapters of Book 4 of Aristotle’s Physics. In a close reading and explanation of Aristotle’s arguments, which abound in subtle observations, Simplicius comes up with several original interpretations regarding the nature of the negativity attributed to the void, demonstrating the impossible consequences of its acceptance. Following Aristotle, Simplicius distinguishes two kinds of the void, that between and outside bodies, and that interspersed with bodies. Locomotion through the void as an imputed place of motion is impossible, because there is no sufficient reason either for motion in a particular direction or for rest, since the void in its negativity allows for no distinctions, and thus for no natural places. A number of absurdities also follow from the acceptance of the void as scattered in bodies. The void is therefore out of place in the cosmos ontologically, mathematically, and physically.

Les prières en prose de Simplicius, entre rhétorique et théologie, 2020

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]

In this paper, I will compare Plato’s Phaedrus 245c–e with Aristotle’s Physics VIII 5. In the Phaedrus passage, Plato describes the soul as that which moves by itself and therefore is always moving (and hence is immortal), and as the principle of movement for all moving things. In the Physics chapter, Aristotle assigns the pre-eminent role to that which, among moving things, moves by itself, and makes the case for the existence of something that moves while remaining unmoved. This Aristotle regards as the prime mover of all moving things, including self-moving ones. [introduction]

In the following lines I aim to study one of those cases in which the exegetical labour of a Neoplatonic commentator is seen as carrying a doctrinal element that entails a certain distortion of Aristotle’s thought. The case that I propose to analyze is ‘Simplicius’’ commentary on the soul-harmony theory, for the commentator runs his interpretation with the aid of certain Neoplatonic theories that are alien to Aristotle’s thought. My aim is to track how the hermeneutical device that the commentator applies to the Aristotelian text is built up from the elements provided in the text itself, how the foreign doctrine is introduced, and how this elicits a global comprehension and a philosophical appropriation of the text. In order to do so, I will first present the passage and the alien theory that is being employed by ‘Simplicius’ to perform his exegesis; then I will show how the commentator chains two passages of the text and produce an explanation for the refutation of the soul harmony theory. Finally, I will describe what kind of interpretation is produced and how it serves to explain Aristotle’s challenge in using the hylomorphic model applied to psychology. By doing this I hope that I could explain how is that the commentator feels himself authorized to introduce the alien theory, how he builds up his exegesis around a problem that he needs to solve, and consequently what is the philosophical product of such an interpretation.

In dem Text wird die Bedeutung des Konzepts der Physis in der neuplatonischen Philosophie untersucht. Die neuplatonische Theorie der drei Hypostasen - das Eine oder Gute, der Nous oder die Vernunft und die Seele - wird erklärt, von denen alle anderen Realitäten abgeleitet werden. Die Natur wird als eine Art von Seele identifiziert, aber im Gegensatz zur vegetativen Seele ist sie eine lebensähnliche Kraft, die für die Schöpfung der Form und nicht des Lebens verantwortlich ist.

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. [conclusion, p. 180]

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 Aristotelian commentaries of Simplicius on the works "On the Heavens" and "Physics" would have been significantly different without the access to the commentaries of Alexander of Aphrodisias. Simplicius heavily relied on Alexander's explanations to resolve several difficulties in Aristotle's text, except in cases where Aristotle criticizes Plato. Simplicius suggests that Alexander, being a member of the Peripatetic school, may have hidden the true purpose of Aristotle's criticisms of Plato. Simplicius argues that Aristotle's critiques of Plato were made for pedagogical reasons, to protect students from misinterpreting difficult philosophical doctrines. Simplicius also criticizes Alexander's literal interpretation of Aristotle, particularly concerning the question of whether the universe has an efficient cause. The neo-Platonic system of thought, shared by Simplicius and Ammonius, aimed to preserve the Greek belief in the eternity of the universe but did so by different means than the pure Peripatetic philosophy of Alexander.

Simplicius argues that Aristotle's critiques of Plato were made for pedagogical reasons, to protect students from misinterpreting difficult philosophical doctrines. Simplicius also criticizes Alexander's literal interpretation of Aristotle, particularly concerning the question of whether the universe has an efficient cause. The neo-Platonic system of thought, shared by Simplicius and Ammonius, aimed to preserve the Greek belief in the eternity of the universe but did so by different means than the pure Peripatetic philosophy of Alexander.

Iamblichus (ccl 245-320) is sometimes called the second founder of
Neoplatonism.1 His innovations were essential to late Neoplatonic philosophy
as it developed in the schools of Athens in particular» but also Alexandria. These
innovations do not just pertain to philosophical tenets» but also to philosophi
cal method and style. Iamblichus defined stricter exegetical rules and new
metaphysical laws. He also created an alliance between philosophy and theurgy
and insisted on the philosophical value of various religious traditions and reli
gious-philosophical texts like the Chaldaean oracles. Iamblichus was» more
over, decisive in shaping the school curriculum and, more generally, the canon
of texts that, whether philosophical or religious, carried authority for philo
sophical research. He, for instance, systematically included texts belonging
to a Pythagorean tradition— a tradition which to some extent was of his own
construal. His selection of philosophically important texts was in line with cer
tain earlier developments, but it was Iamblichus who established a real canon.
Indeed, after Iamblichus the canon remained more or less stable.If we look at the importance assigned to Aristotle and the Peripatetic tra
dition, it is clear that the difference between Iamblichus and his arch-rival
Porphyry does not reside in which texts were held to be worthy of profound
study. Hie difference is situated rather in the role and status attributed to them
within the Platonic philosophical system. From the early Imperial era onward,
Aristotle was seen by most Platonists as an ally, unlike the Stoics and Epicureans,
who were regarded as opponents. Yet the extent to which Aristotelian ideas
were incorporated varied greatly. Different parts of Aristotle's thought attracted
different Platonists and the strategies used for integrating and assimilating
them diverged. Here Iamblichus made his mark, as will become clear below. [Introduction, p. 341]

Very  short  papers  are  not  what  his  readers  most  immediately

‘Anaxagoras’ Other World’ runs to less than three full pages of text,

takes  as  his  topic,  ‘Anaxagoras’  Other World’  seems  to  me  much 
the most persuasive account available in the scholarly literature. In

[Conclusion, p. 33]: Most of the other philosophical Lives from late antiquity are written in the context 
of the Platonic philosophy: Apuleius wrote a book on Plato and his philosophy in the 
second century ce, and a hundred years later both Porphyry and Iamblichus wrote 
biographies of Pythagoras, but they are all three more of value as a source to the times 
of their authors than as a source to the subject of their biographies. Porphyry’s life 
of Pythagoras  was  part  of his  Historia Philosopha,  on  the  history  of philosophy in 
four books up to and culminating in Plato. More important is the fact that we have 
biographies of some Neoplatonic philosophers written by their students: Porphyry not 
only collected and edited Plotinus’ writings at the end of the third century ce, he also 
wrote a vivid description of Plotinus’ life as he knew it from his own time with the 
Neoplatonic philosopher in Rome.3 Two hundred years later Marinus wrote a life of 
Proclus who was head of the Academy in Athens in the fifth century ce, and early in 
the  sixth  century  Damascius  wrote  a  Historia Philosopha  (previously  called  Life of 
Isidorus),  which  covers  the  last  couple  of generations  of Platonic  philosophers  in 
Athens. Since we have so many writings by the Neoplatonic philosophers themselves, 
the significance of these biographies is not what they have to tell us about the thoughts 
of these Neoplatonists, but their description of the philosophical activities in Athens. 
Taken together with the numerous commentaries on works of Plato and Aristotle, 
they offer important information about the institutional aspects of doing philosophy in 
late antiquity, and much remains to be done in this area.4 It is no coincidence that 
Simplicius and many others in this period were capable of composing commentaries 
that are still important both for our understanding of the texts they comment on and 
for our knowledge of Greek philosophy.

This pattern shows Thomas, both as a thinker and as an interpreter of the history of philosophy, to be an heir of the Peripatetic and Neoplatonic representations of Platonism, representations in which he was more and more immersed as his work continued.  There was always a conflict between Iris conscious and his unconscious Platonism. But there was no necessity that this conflict should force him outside the tradition in which he placed himself. In fact, his most notable forerunners in this self-conflict are Augustine, as he 
himself gives evidence, and Dionysius, who in his Christian and Neoplatonic following of the Unknown God was probably as obscure to himself as he remains to us.  And last we may add Boethius, who, like Augustine, needed Platonism to console his Christian death. [conclusion, last paragraph]

Aristote, Du ciel. Texte établi et traduit par Paul Moraux. Introduction, 1965

The introduction discusses the object and structure of Aristotle's treatise De caelo, which presents a challenge for commentators due to its lack of unity. While some ancient commentators saw the study of the world as a whole as the main object of the treatise, others focused on the study of the celestial body and its relation to the sublunar world. The modern understanding of the genesis of Aristotle's works suggests that the treatise may have been formed by combining previously independent monographs. Additionally, Aristotle himself may have attempted to give his works a coherent structure, but did so in a somewhat artificial way. Despite these challenges, the treatise is seen as an important work in the history of philosophy and science. [introduction]
