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.

This paper gives a brief discussion of the problem of ascribing authorship to ancient philosophical texts when there is evidence both for and against traditional ascription. The case in point is tradition’s claim that Simplicius is the author of the De Anima commentary. It is argued here that, while Gabor provides new and important methodological evidence for Simplicius’s authorship, we should not expect certainty. It is suggested that, in cases where historical fact may never be ascertained, we will be better served by the notion of credences.

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.

In diesem Sammelband wird die Idee des Körpers und der Körperlichkeit in der Philosophie der Spätantike untersucht. Dazu werden Fragen der Ontologie, der Mathematik, der Physik, der Astronomie, der Biologie, der Anthropologie, der Politik, der Theologie und der Ästhetik behandelt. Die Bedeutung des Themas ergibt sich sowohl aus seiner historischen Relevanz (für die Bildende Kunst, die Literatur, die Fachwissenschaften, die Religion und die allgemeine Kulturgeschichte) als auch aufgrund seiner philosophischen Wichtigkeit. Vom philosophischen Standpunkt betrachtet enthält die spätantike Reflexion über Körperlichkeit eine beeindruckende Fülle an Bedeutungen, die in diesem Band diskutiert werden.

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.

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]

Simplicius the Neoplatonist in light of contemporary research: a critical review, 2020
By: Hadot, Ilsetraut,

Title	Simplicius the Neoplatonist in light of contemporary research: a critical review
Type	Monograph
Language	English
Date	2020
Publication Place	Baden-Baden
Publisher	Academia Verlag
Series	Academia Philosophical Studies, 67
Categories	no categories
Author(s)	Hadot, Ilsetraut
Editor(s)
Translator(s)	Drummond , Ian() .

This book, translated from the French, offers a synthesis of modern research devoted to Simplicius's life and to three of his five commentaries: On Epictetus' Handbook, On Aristotle's De anima, On Aristotle's Categories. Its biographical part brings to light the historical role played by this Neoplatonic philosopher. Born in Cilicia, Asia Minor, he studied in Alexandria and Athens and apparently ended his life teaching in Syria on the frontier between the Byzantine and Sassanide Empires. His role was that of a mediator between the Greco-Roman world and philosophy and Syriac philosophy, which would feed Arabic philosophy at its beginning. The second part of the book, devoted to doctrinal and authorship issues, also deals with the underlying pedagogical curriculum and methods proper to Neoplatonic commentaries, which modern interpretation all too often tends to neglect in studies on Simplicius and other Neoplatonists.

On the question of the divine, as on others, the Neoplatonic tradition has gradually made the reading of Aristotle a philosophical preriquisite. The contributions gathered in this volume aim at understanding how the Neoplatonic readers of Aristotle’s theology interpreted, commented on and criticized these doctrines in the light of their philosophical orientations, but also how Aristotle’s philosophy was able to influence, in return, their own conceptions and nourish the Neoplatonic approach to the divine. In short, it is a question of specifying both the different hermeunetic uses to which the Aristotelian philosophy of the divine has lent itself and the conceptual effect of this reappropriation.

Les neuf études de ce volume portent sur le Commentaire à la Métaphysique d'Aristote par Alexandre d'Aphrodise, écrit au tournant des IIe et IIIe siècles. Elles ont été suscitées par le colloque international "Alexandre d'Aphrodise et la métaphysique aristotélicienne", tenu à l'Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne du 22 au 24 juin 2015. La question de la réception est au cœur de ces études : réception de la Métaphysique par Alexandre, réception de son exégèse par la tradition ultérieure. En effet, le commentaire d'Alexandre établit la compréhension du texte d'Aristote à partir du IIIe siècle ; il servira de référence à toutes les interprétations ultérieures, qu'elles soient néoplatoniciennes, arabes ou latines. Ces études mettent en évidence les rapports complexes entre logique, physique, philosophie première et même éthique, établis par le commentaire d'Alexandre. La question la plus disputée est celle de l'usage des Catégories dans le commentaire à la Métaphysique. Les neuf études ont pour auteurs : Cristina Cerami, Riccardo Chiaradonna, Michel Crubellier, Silvia Fazzo, Pantelis Golitsis, Gweltaz Guyomarc'h, Annick Jaulin, Claire Louguet, Marwan Rashed.

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.

The no longer extant commentary by Alexander of Aphrodisias (approx. 200 AD) on Aristotle’s Physics is one of the most important works of antiquity ‑, as a source text having influenced both the Greek commentators on Aristotle and ‒ through the mediation of Arab scholars ‑ Western medieval philosophy. This volume presents the first edition and study of nearly 700 recently discovered Byzantine scholia, which allow a more exact reconstruction of Alexander’s teachings on physics, and at the same time contribute to a better understanding of Aristotelianism and preclassical physics.

Alexandria as a Center of Greek Philosophy in Later Classical Antiquity, 1993

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]

Alexandrië: wie kan de naam van deze stad horen zonder te denken aan de brand van de bibliotheken (47 v. Chr.), aan de zelfmoord van Cleopatra en het einde van het Ptolemaeïsche koninkrijk (30 V. Chr.)? Maar de eigenlijke betovering van Alexandrië ligt hierin dat het de ondergang van de antieke wereld in opeenvolgende, elkaar overdekkende vormen belichaamt. Alexandrië 529'behandelt de zoveelste breuk tussen verleden en toekomst en wel liet laatste kapitale moment in de strijd van liet christendom om de intellectuele alleenheerschappij. In het jaar waarin in Athene de heidense filosofische school werd gesloten (529), publiceert Philoponus in Alexandrië een christelijk filosofisch traktaat 'De aeternitate mundi contra Proclum' waarin hij probeert de academische filosofie te kerstenen. Korte tijd later valt het doek over dit christelijk-filosofisch experiment: Philoponus wordt theoloog en de Alexandrijnse filosofie valt, na de christelijke episode-Philoponus, nog voor enkele decennia terug in haar oude plooi. Daarmee wordt duidelijk dat de christelijke filosofie allerminst als voltooiing van het Alexandrijnse neoplatonisme begrepen kan worden, immers de dogmatische theologie van Philoponus te staan tegenover een heidens neoplatonisme vooral vertegenwoordigd door Olympiodorus.

Through an analysis of the extant testimonia, I shall attempt to establish  Strato's  theory  of place,  ultimately  favouring  Simplicius's  account over that of Stobaeus. The arguments and issues involved, however, will take us through a wide variety of the possible sources for Strato and an analysis of their ideas and objectives in providing their evidence. I argue, 
contra  Furley  and  Berryman,  that  there  is  good  reason  to  suppose  that Strato held  a  theory  of horror vacui  qua  explanans,  possibly  having bor
rowed  it  from  some  earlier  source,  and  that  he  did  in  fact  create  the microvoid  theory.  These  separate  strands  tie  together  into  a  coherent 
system that is attributable to Strato based on evidence that is sometimes direct  and  sometimes  circumstantial.  Thus  Strato  will  be  seen  to  be breaking away (to a certain extent)  from a strictly Aristotelian position, perhaps following Theophrastus's lead. [Introduction, pp. 2 f.]

When arguing from impossible premises, what was Aristotle's ratio- 
nale? Is there a way to salvage all of these purported arguments "through the impossible"? In this article, I wish to examine some of the answers 
offered by commentators on Aristotle ranging from Alexander to Buridan. 
We shall see that within the discussion, a  more systematic picture of 
Aristotle's intentions slowly emerges. [p. 141]

The text discusses an excerpt of a set of leaves from a fourteenth-century manuscript called Laurentianus 71, 32, containing paraphrases of several works. Theodore Waitz uses these leaves for scholia on Aristotle's Categories and De Interpretatione. The heading of the leaves is "Peri tês tou pote katêgorias," and the work consists of two parts. The first part discusses Time, based on Physics 4, while the second part deals with the category of When, which Aristotle only briefly mentions. The author of the work is believed to be Boethus of Sidon, the Peripatetic, who wrote a commentary on the Categories, as mentioned by Simplicius in his own commentary on the same work. Boethus is seen as a conservative who defended Aristotle against innovations, particularly Andronicus of Rhodes' attempt to substitute the category of Time for When. [introduction]

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]

It is laid out chronologically and the 23 articles are divided into three sections: I. The Hellenistic Reception of Aristotle; II. The Post-Hellenistic Engagement with Aristotle; III. Aristotle in Late Antiquity. Topics include Aristotle and the Stoa, Andronicus of Rhodes and the construction of the Aristotelian corpus, the return to Aristotle in the first century BC, and the role of Alexander of Aphrodisias and Porphyry in the transmission of Aristotle's philosophy to Late Antiquity.
