In fact, precisely because these thinkers did see the sensible world as an image of the intelligible world, they devoted much time and energy to understanding its inner workings. Thus we find Neoplatonists writing on embryology, physiology, meteorology, astronomy, and much else. This volume collects essays by leading international scholars in the field that shed new light on how these thinkers sought to understand and explain nature and natural phenomena. It is thematically divided into two parts, with the first part\u2014\u2018The general metaphysics of Nature\u2019\u2014directed at the explication of central Neoplatonic metaphysical doctrines and their relation to the natural world, and the second part\u2014\u2019Platonic approaches to individual sciences\u2019\u2014showing how these same doctrines play out in individual natural sciences such as elemental physics, geography, and biology. Together these essays show that a serious examination of Neoplatonic natural philosophy has far-reaching consequences for our general understanding of the metaphysics of Platonism, as well as for our evaluation of their place in the history of science.","btype":4,"date":"2012","language":"English","online_url":"","online_resources":"https:\/\/uni-koeln.sciebo.de\/s\/xHUG6gdrtjMT7K4","doi_url":null,"categories":[],"authors":[{"id":256,"full_name":"Horn, Christoph","role":{"id":2,"role_name":"editor"}},{"id":257,"full_name":"Wilberding, James","role":{"id":2,"role_name":"editor"}}],"book":{"id":299,"pubplace":"Oxford","publisher":"Oxford University Press","series":"","volume":"","edition_no":null,"valid_from":null,"valid_until":null},"booksection":null,"article":null},"sort":["Neoplatonism and the Philosophy of Nature"]}

Hippocratics, Aristotle and \r\nGalen had all viewed the processes involved in the generation of plants as \r\nanalogous to those in the generation of embryos.1 In fact, the embryo was \r\ncommonly held to have the life-status of a plant, with the mother taking \r\non the role of the earth, at least at the earliest stages of its generation.2 As a \r\nresult, these thinkers saw the same causal models that govern the gener\u00ad\r\nation of embryos at work in the generation of plants. Indeed, Galen even \r\nadvises those who wish to investigate the formation of embryos to begin by \r\nlooking into the generation of plants, The above-mentioned analogy is \r\ncertainly part of the motivation behind Galen\u2019s counsel, but equally \r\nimportant is that plants are simpler, in terms of both their physiology \r\nand their psychology, and thus more perspicuous objects of study. This is \r\nwhat gives us \u2018hope to discover among the plants [biological] adminis\u00ad\r\ntration in its pure and unadulterated form\u2019.* What is surprising is the \r\nconception of vegetative generation and life that results for Neoplatonists. \r\nFor, as I shall show here, they ultimately concluded that the vegetative \r\nsouls of individual plants are not self-sufficient. That is to say, the depend\u00ad\r\nence of individual plants on the earth, in terms of both their generation and their preservation, extends beyond mere nutritive needs into the \r\npsychological domain of their life activities.

Did it come from nothing or from something pre-existing? How was it caused to come into existence? Is it material or immaterial? The second part looks at questions concerning human agency and responsibility, including the problem of evil and the nature of will, considering thinkers such as Plotinus, Porphyry, Proclus and Augustine.
