What I want to do in this paper is to look at how Aristotle’s successors treated some points in his discussions of reason, and in particular the discussion in the De anima. about their handling of relevant parts of the Nichomachaean Ethics we know very little, for unlike the De anima that treatise was not a major subject of study in the philosophical lectures and seminars of late antiquity. Though a commentary on some of it had been written by Aspasius, and notes by other, probably pre -Neoplatonic, hands survive, exposition of the Nicomachean Ethics seems to have been one of the gaps that the group of Aristotelians around Anna Comnena in twelfth-century Constantinople felt that they needed to fill.

Abstract: Dans cet article, nous avons essayé d'examiner la valeur de l'attribution traditionnelle du commentaire In De Anima à Simplicius. En comparant ce traité aux grands commentaires de Simplicius (sur les Catégories, la Physique et le De Caelo d'Aristote), nous avons été en effet frappés par les divergences de style et de langue, ainsi que par la manière différente de commenter. Dans la première partie, nous démontrons que l'auteur du In De Anima a écrit également la Metaphrasis in Theophrastum, qui nous a été transmise sous le nom de Priscien le Lydien. Dans le In De Anima, l'auteur renvoie à une de ses œuvres, qu'il appelle "Epitomé de la Physique de Théophraste". En réalité, cette référence se rapporte à un passage de la Metaphrase de Priscien, où la même problématique est exposée dans des termes identiques. - 2° Une comparaison détaillée, qui porte sur l'ensemble des deux œuvres, nous révèle une telle ressemblance de style et de pensée - il y a même des phrases à peu près identiques - qu'elle ne peut s'expliquer que par l'hypothèse de l'identité de l'auteur. Dans la deuxième partie, nous essayons d'identifier l'auteur de ces deux œuvres qui nous ont pourtant été transmises sous deux noms différents. L'étude de la tradition directe et indirecte n'apporte guère de solution, puisque l'attribution des deux textes, l'un à Simplicius, l'autre à Priscien, y paraît très solide. Ce n'est donc que par une critique interne du In De Anima, notamment par la confrontation avec les commentaires de Simplicius, dont l'attribution est certaine, que la question pourra être tranchée. Dans le In De Anima, l'auteur renvoie trois fois à son commentaire sur la Physique. Pourtant, il est bien difficile de retrouver dans le grand commentaire de Simplicius trois passages dont le contenu et surtout le vocabulaire prouvent que l'auteur s'y réfère. - 2° Dans le In De Anima, on ne retrouve pas les traits caractéristiques de la méthode de commenter de Simplicius, ni l'approche du texte par la documentation historique, ni les longues discussions avec les exégètes antérieurs, ni l'exposé prolixe et bien structuré ; d'autre part, aucun des commentaires de Simplicius ne témoigne de la phraséologie tortueuse de notre œuvre, ni de ses formules stéréotypées. - 3° La différence doctrinale est encore plus importante. Nulle part chez Simplicius n'apparaît la théorie de l'âme comme "émanation", qui est si fondamentale dans le In De Anima ("émanation" y est un concept-clé). Les rares digressions du In De Anima à propos de questions physiques et logiques ne correspondent pas aux exposés de Simplicius sur les mêmes problèmes. Ainsi, nous avons confronté la doctrine de la "physis", de l'âme et de son "automotion", et enfin le rapport entre le "genre" et les différences "constitutives" et "diérétiques". De tout cela se dégage une telle divergence entre le In De Anima et les autres commentaires qu'elle ne peut s'expliquer par une évolution chez Simplicius lui-même. Le In De Anima lui est donc faussement attribué ; et puisque nous avons établi que ce commentaire est du même auteur que la Metaphrase, nous pouvons conclure qu'il a été vraisemblablement écrit par Priscien le Lydien, un philosophe néoplatonicien dont nous savons seulement qu'il a accompagné Damascius et Simplicius en exil en Perse.

Simplicius has preserved (Phys. 140, 34) a Zenonian argument purporting to show that if an object of positive magnitude has parts from which it derives its size, then any such object must be at once of infinite magnitude and zero magnitude. This surprising consequence is based upon a construction which Zeno makes, but his argument is widely thought to be grossly fallacious. Most often he is supposed to have misunderstood the arithmetic of his own construction. Evidently, any such charge must be premised on some view of the particular nature of the sequence to which Zeno's construction gives rise. I seek to develop a view that Zeno's argument is in fact free from fallacy, and offer reason to fear that his real argument has usually been missed. [p. 40]

Thus all that Simplicius is saying, on Eudemus’ authority, is that Anaximander ‘was the first to discuss’ the sizes and distances of ‘planets’, using the latter term to include sun and moon; and this agrees with what the doxographers tell us: Anaximander had views about the distances of sun and moon, and the size of the sun.11 A sceptic, like Dicks, may question this whole tradition; but it should not be claimed that what Simplicius says of Anaximander and planômena in 471.2-6 is incon­sistent with our other authorities.

Wie alle umfangreicheren Fragmente der Abhandlung Περί φύσεως des Anaxagoras ist auch Fr. 1 (VS 59 B 1) durch den Kommentar des Simphkios zur Aristotelischen Physik überliefert. Simplikios hatte die Möglichkeit, ein Exemplar der Schrift des ionischen Philosophen zu benutzen. In seiner ganzen Länge erscheint das Fragment, dessen Stellung am Anfang des Buches aus­ drücklich bezeugt ist, nur einmal {155, 26) ; daneben gibt es weitere Passagen, in denen lediglich der einleitende Satz bzw. dessen Beginn zitiert wird. Ein Überblick zeigt, daß zwischen den einzelnen Zitaten Unterschiede in der Wort­ stellung bestehen.

This paper makes no attempt to compete with the brilliant studies through which in the last thirty years several scholars have ad- vanced our understanding of the evidence for Zeno of Elea and in particular of the verbatim preserved fragments. In fact my in- tention is not to replace theories by other theories but to create doubt about matters that for some time have been taken for granted and to change confident assumptions into hypotheses that would tolerate others besides them.

Information from a number of sources has established that John Philoponus' Contra Aristotelem, a refutation of Aristotle's proofs of the eternity of the world, was at least partially available to the Arabic philosophers in the Middle Ages. The present article shows that the Arabic Jewish writer Sacadia used a set of proofs of creation ultimately deriving from Philoponus. With the aid of this result the following further conclusions are also drawn: Kindi too used a set of proofs of creation ultimately deriving from Philoponus; a variety of medieval arguments from the impossibility of an infinite are to be traced to Philoponus; the standard Kalām proof of creation, the proof from "accidents," originated as a reformulation of one of Philoponus' arguments.

Die den Kommen­ taren vorausgeschickte Einleitung kommt dabei meist einer all­ gemeinen Einführung in das Studium der aristotelischen Philo­ sophie gleich. Seit Ammonios, dem Sohn des Hermeias, wird in diesem Zusammenhang auch das Problem der vöfta ßißXLa be­ rührt (CAG IV4, 8, 2-6)x). Während aber Ammonios selbst nur kurz das Faktum, viele hätten ihre eigenen Werke unter dem Namen des Aristoteles herausgegeben, erwähnt zu haben scheint2), erfährt dieser Punkt bei seinen Schülern eine mehr oder weniger umfangreiche Ausgestaltung.

This article deals with four almost classic problems in Anaximander. Of these 
the first is of comparatively minor importance, and the second is important not 
for what Anaximander thought but for what Aristotle thought he thought. 
Problem I is: Did Anaximander describe his  3 dE"repov as apX-, ? Problem 2: Did Aristotle mean Anaximander when he referred to people who postulated 
an intermediate substance? Problem 3:  Did Anaximander think that there 
were innumerable successive worlds? Problem 4:  What is the extent and 
implication of the extant fragment of Anaximander ? Appended is a brief con- 
sideration of the nature of Theophrastus' source-material for Anaximander; 
on one's opinion of this question the assessment of the last two problems will 
clearly depend. [p. 21]

n  I904 E.  HAMBRUCH2 tried  to  show  that sometimes  Aristotle  himself 
uses  synonymna in  the  Speusippean sense  [...] and  that  in  so  doing he was influenced by  Speusippus. This thesis  of HAMBRUCH has been accepted 
by  several  scholars,  including LANG, STENZEL, and CHERNISS 3; and, though 
some doubts about its soundness were expressed from different points of view4, 
it  was  only  in  I97I that  Mr. Jonathan  BARNES5 made  a  systematic  assault 
on it. He contends, in the first place, that  Speusippus's conception of homonyma 
and synonyma is essentially the same as that  of Aristotle, the slight differences 
between  their respective  definitions of  each being  trivial,  and,  secondly,  that 
even  though  in  a  few  places  Aristotle  does  use  homonyma and  synonyma as 
properties of linguistic terms, this is due to  the fact  that Aristotle's use of these 
words is not  as rigid as the  Categories would lead one to  believe;  he  could not 
have  been  influenced by  Speusippus because the  latter  conceived homonymy 
and synonymy  as properties of things  and, in  any  case, if  influence of  one on 
the  other  be  assumed,  it  could  as  well  have  been  Aristotle  that  influenced 
Speusippus. 
Though  I  believe  that  his  two  main  contentions  are mistaken,  I  am  here 
mainly  concerned with  the  first part of BARNES' thesis;  for,  if he  were  right 
in  believing  that  for  Speusippus  homonyma and  synonyma are  properties of 
things  and  not  of  names  or  linguistic  terms,  then  HAMBRUCH'S notion  that 
Speusippus did influence Aristotle when the latter uses synonymon as a property 
of  names would be  wrong, even  though  BARNES himself were mistaken in his 
analysis of the Aristotelian passages he reviews in the second part of his paper.  [pp. 73 f.]

The traditional ascription of the Neoplatonic commentary on the De Anima to Sim­plicius has prominently been disputed by Carlos Steel and Fernand Bossier, along with J.O. Urmson and Francesco Piccolomini, among others. Citing problems with terminology, diction, cross-references, doctrine, and other features, these authors have argued that the commentary cannot have been composed by Simplicius and that Priscian of Lydia is a favored alternative. In this paper, I present some new arguments for why the traditional attribution to Simplicius is, in fact, the correct one. In particular, while addressing some of the terminological facts that have also been discussed by Christina Luna, Peter Lautner, Patricia Huby, and Philippe Vallat, among others, I offer a more secure basis for identifying the author of the De Anima commentary with Simplicius than has so far been proposed. In place of the disputes regarding terminology, which the debate has largely centered upon, I argue that certain unique and characteristic interpretive procedures, which one only finds in the undisputed Simplician works, allow us to identify the authorship of the De Anima commentary with Simplicius securely. Further, comparison of these methodological features with the extant works of Priscian rules out the possibility of his authorship of the commentary. I also provide some suggestions for resolving a few remaining issues of cross-reference between the De Anima commentary and the rest of Simplicius’s work. Finally, I conclude with some words on how that particular form of harmonization pursued by Simplicius’s contemporaries differs from both that of the De Anima commentary as well as his other works.

Our  main source  of information  about  the  cosmological  compo­nent  of  Parmenides’  doctrine  of Opinion —apart  from  the  first  three and a half abstruse lines of fr.  12 — is Aetius’ account.  This,  however,  is generally regarded as confused,  garbled and incompatible with fr.  12. The reconstruction of Parmenides’ cosmology is thus considered a hope­less task,  for  “it must inevitably be based on many conjectures.” I,  however, cannot accept this conclusion, for,  as I argue below,  it is possible to provide a reasonably intelligible account of Aetius’ report (except  for the corrupt sentence  about  the goddess) which is  also com­patible with fr.  12, provided, of course, that we are not bent upon prov­ing our sources incompatible,  but rather seek to reconcile them.

Jean  Pepin  recently devoted a  lengthy study  to  Aristotle's On 
Prayer;'  there  is good  reason  to  think  that  the  work never existed.  On 
Prayer is  listed  in  Diogenes  Laertius'  catalogue  of  Aristotle's writings (5.22)  and  in  the Vita Hesychii.2  The  only  other  evidence  for  its  exis- 
tence is a passage of Simplicius3 that tells us that at the end of  On Prayer Aristotle says clearly that  God is either  mind  or somehow  beyond  mind 
(6  Esoq ii  voUq  EaTiV Ti CrenCKEva TOU voU). The  claim  that  God  is be- 
yond mind  is unique  in an unemended  Aristotelian  text,  but  the notion 
would  be  acceptable  to  Simplicius  both  because,  as a Neoplatonist, he 
would  believe  it to be true,  and because  as a Neoplatonic  commentator 
on Aristotle he would be happy to find evidence  of the basic philosophi- cal  harmony  of  Aristotle  and  Plato.  Our  problem,  therefore,  is  to  see 
why Simplicius  thought  that  Aristotle  held  this view... [pp. 110 f.]
