This text discusses different interpretations of the methodological significance of the fragment D.K. B 5 of Parmenides' poem, which states "It is indifferent to me where I begin, for I shall come back again to this point" (Trad. M. Conche). The main question is what the statement refers to and its place in the order of fragments. Two main trends of interpretation are identified, one proposing to place the fragment before D.K. B 8 and the other suggesting to read it either before or after D.K. B 2. The author argues that the circularity of Parmenides' philosophy is centered around the concept of being and the experience of the community of being. The world of Parmenides is a world of trust and confidence in being, where even absent things find a real presence and firm consistency. [introduction/conclusion]

Aristotle classified the things in the world into ten categories: substance, quantity, quality, relative, and six others. Plotinus, the founder of Neoplatonism, attacked the classification, accepting only these first four categories, rejecting the other six, and adding one of this own: change. He preferred Plato's classification into five kinds which included change. In this part of his commentary, Simplicius records the controversy on the six categories which Plotinus rejected: acting, being acted upon, being in a position, when, where, and having on. Plotinus' pupil and editor, Porphyry, defended all six categories as applicable to the physical world, even if not to the world of Platonic Forms to which Platonist studies must eventually progress. Porphyry's pupil, lamblichus, went further: taken in a suitable sense, Aristotle's categories apply also to the world of Forms, although they require Pythagorean reinterpretation. Simplicius may be closer to Porphyry that to lamblichus, and indeed Porphyry's defence established Aristotle's categories once and for all in Western thought. But the probing controversy of this period none the less revealed more effectively than any discussion of modern times the profound difficulties in Aristotle's categorical scheme. [offical abstract]

In On the Soul 3.1-5, Aristotle goes beyond the five sense to the general functions of sense perception, the imagination and the so-called active intellect, the of which was still a matter of controversy in the time of Thomas Aquinas. In his commentary on Aristotle's text, 'Simplicius' insists that the intellect in question is not something transcendental but the human rational soul. He denies both Plotinus' view that a part of the soul has never descended from uninterrupted contemplation of the Platonic Forms, and Proclus' view that the soul cannot be changed in its substance through embodiment. He also denies that imagination sees things as true or false, which requires awareness of one's own cognitions. He thinks that imagination works by projecting imprints. In the case of mathematics, it can make the imprints more like shapes taken on during sense perception or more like concepts, which calls for lines without breadth. He acknowledges that Aristotle would not agree to reify these concepts as substances, but thinks of mathematical entities as mere abstractions. Addressing the vexed question of authorship, H. J. Blumenthal concludes that the commentary was written neither by Simplicius nor Priscian. In a novel interpretation, he suggests that if Priscian had any hand in this commentary, it might have been as editor of notes from Simplicius' lectures. [offical abstract]

Simplicius aligns himself fundamentally with Porphyry and Jamblichus, preserving the tradition of responding to Plotinus’s aporias on the Categories. He also reveals trends in the Peripatetic commentaries that Plotinus was reacting to. Simplicius demonstrates the specificity of the categories ΠΟΤE and ΠΟΥ, using Jamblichus's definition of neo-Platonic skopos, which relies on a unity of meaning to establish the unity of a category corresponding to the unity of a genus. Despite being influenced by Jamblichus, Simplicius ultimately follows a philosophical orientation that aligns him with his master Damascius. [conclusion]

Im Hinblick auf die grundlegende Verschiedenheit zwischen der platoni­schen und aristotelischen Wertung der Mathematik und der Phänomene kann man erwarten, daß es genau im Kontext der platonischen Deutung der aristo­telischen Schriften zu einer interessanten Auseinandersetzung kommen mußte. Ein gutes Beispiel ist der Kommentar des Neuplatonikers Simplikios (tätig nach 530 n.Chr.) zur aristotelischen Schrift Über den Himmel. Wie bekannt, hat uns Simplikios in diesem Kommentar wichtige Informationen über die Astronomie und die einschlägige Wissenschaftstheorie bis auf seine Zeit, das 6. Jahrhundert nach Christus, überliefert. Hier werde ich mich mit zwei wichti­gen methodischen Fragen befassen, die von Simplikios erörtert werden. Er­stens: Was ist die Erklärungskraft der mathematischen Prinzipien im physi­schen Bereich? und zweitens: Was ist die erkenntnistheoretische Bedeutung der Phänomene? In einem letzten Abschnitt werde ich mich kurz dem Einfluß der neuplatonischen Aristotelesdeutung auf das moderne Verstehen der aristo­telischen Methodologie zuwenden.

Aristotle bequeathed his followers certain notions that were of great importance to posterity. Some of them were taken up and discussed at length in Hellenistic schools, but others escaped notice; katharsis belongs to the latter group. This is all the more surprising since the Stoics made considerable effort to demonstrate that passions (pathe) can be tamed by reason.

Dieser Text untersucht Simplicius' Kommentar zum Doxographen Moderatos von Gades in seinem Kommentar zu Porphyrios' Werk "Über die Materie". Der doxographische Bericht besteht aus zwei Teilen, wobei der erste eine hierarchische Systematik von drei Entitäten präsentiert - dem transzendenten Einen, der Welt der erkennbaren Formen und dem Bereich der Seele - und der zweite die Herkunft der Materie gemäß einem metaphysischen Modell erläutert. Die Analyse dieser Doxographie verdeutlicht ihre Bedeutung für das Verständnis platonischer Einflüsse auf spätere Denker. E.R. Dodds und Matthias Baltes haben das Verhältnis zwischen Moderatos' Hierarchie und Platons Parmenides aufgedeckt und die Rolle des Logos in der Schöpfung der Wesen sowie die Verbindung der ycopa mit der Seele als "seelischer Raum" (psychischer Raum) identifiziert, der es der Seele ermöglicht, den Weltkörper zu umfassen. Obwohl Baltes überzeugende Interpretationen liefert, bleiben einige Fragen und Herausforderungen hinsichtlich der Identifizierung der "Seienden", der Beziehung zwischen dem Logos und den drei Entitäten, um sinnliche Objekte zu beschreiben. Trotz offener Fragen trägt der Text zu den laufenden Diskussionen über die neupythagoreische Interpretation des Platonismus und ihren Einfluss auf spätere philosophische Gedanken bei. Er betont die Bedeutung einer detaillierten und historisch fundierten Untersuchung der Doxographie, um die Komplexität und Implikationen von Moderatos' philosophischem System und dessen Verbindungen zu platonischen Lehren vollständig zu erfassen.

This study aims to highlight the partiality of commentators who present themselves as careful guardians of tradition in their commentary on Aristotle's Treatise on the Heavens. It focuses on the seemingly neutral pages of Simplicius' long commentary on this treatise, which uses and discusses many previous Greek commentaries. The study shows that some of the polemical developments of these commentators are theologically motivated, and that their motivations and strategies are most apparent in the seemingly impersonal pages where they reformulate Aristotelian reasoning using syllogistic reformulation. The study demonstrates that the reformulation of Aristotelian reasoning is not just a technical exercise but rather a reflection of the commentator's theological and epistemological presuppositions, particularly with regard to the difficult-to-classify science of astronomy in antiquity. The study also explores how commentators use syllogistic reformulation as a means of evaluating reasoning and as an indication of their judgment on the status of astronomy as a science.

Aristotle’s treatment  of  phantasia  in  De  anitna,  3 . 3 ,   is  both 
suggestive and tantalizing: suggestive because Aristotle there seems to 
be trying to describe a capacity of the mind which cannot be identified 
either  with  sense-perception  or  with  rational  thought,  a  capacity 
which, if it is not the same as what we call ‘imagination’, at least has a 
good deal in common with it; but tantalizing because the chapter flits 
from  one  point  to  another  and  is  hard  to  interpret  as  a  consistent 
whole. There have been a number of recent attempts to make sense of 
the  chapter and relate it to Aristotle’s other remarks about phantasia 
elsewhere.1  I shall briefly discuss three of these, which all make some 
use  of modern  discussions  of imagination; in  all  three cases the way 
they see Aristotle’s position is affected by the account of imagination 
which  they  themselves  favour. [p. 165]

My aim in this  paper  is to discuss some examples of the  problems  Renaissance 
scholars encountered in this regard [i.e. he great advantage of having Greek texts  available in print]. In this first section, I will be concerned with

Taking up Charles Schmitt\u2019s formulation of the many \u2019Aristotelianisms\u2019 of the period, the papers bring out the variety and richness of the approaches to Aristotle, rather than treating his as a homogeneous system of thought. Based on much new research, they provide case studies of how philosophers used, developed, and reacted to the framework of Aristotelian logic, categories and distinctions, and demonstrate that Aristotelianism possessed both the flexibility and the dynamism to exert a continuing impact - even among such noted \u2019anti-Aristotelians\u2019 as Descartes and Hobbes.

This  chapter  will  examine  a  small  aspect  of the  scholarly  method 
of  the  commentator  Simplicius.  It  seems  appropriate  to  start  with 
some justification  for  dealing  with  an  author  from  Late  Antiquity  on 
the  theme  of orality  and  literacy,  as  it  is  generally  assumed  that  these 
terms  refer  to  the  ‘early’  stages  of Greek  culture  when  w'riting  found 
its  way  into  the  intellectual  activities  of Greek  society.  As  I  shall  dis­
cuss  the  methodology  of a  member  of the  Platonic  school  of around 
530  AD,  the  briefest  statement  to  qualify  the  terms  for  this  period 
is  to  say  that  author  belonged  to  a  highly  literate  and  tradition-con­
scious  movement,  which  taught  and  studied  philosophy  building  on 
previous  attempts  at  exegesis. [p. 174]

In the Corollaries on Place and Void, Philoponus attacks Aristotle's conception of place as two-dimensional, adopting instead the view more familiar to us that it is three-dimensional, inert and conceivable as void. Philoponus' denial that velocity in the void would be infinite anticipated Galileo, as did his denial that speed of fall is proportionate to weight, which Galileo greatly developed.

In the second document Simplicius attacks a lost treatise of Philoponus which argued for the Christians against the eternity of the world. He exploits Aristotle's concession that the world contains only finite power. Simplicius' presentation of Philoponus' arguments (which may well be tendentious), together with his replies, tell us a good deal about both Philosophers.

In this paper I shall concentrate on a small but 
crucial episode in the development of one significant issue:  the method by 
which  the physicist acquires knowledge of the principles  of physical 
things. n his  commentary on  the Physics, the sixth-century Neoplatonist 
philosopher Simplicius puts forward sign-inference as a general method 
for acquiring first principles in physics:  “Clearly, the grasp (gnosis) of the 
principles [of physical things] is through necessary signs (tekmeriodes) 
rather than apodeictic (apodeiktike)."... [p. 1]

All the chapters in this book are new, except for the inaugural lecture (Chapter 9), which I apologise for reprinting virtually unrevised and with the original lecture context still apparent. It seemed desirable, however, that so crucial a part ofthe controversy should be represented. The collection originated in a conference on Philoponus held at the Institute of Classical Studies in London in June 1983, which provided an opportunity for interested parties to pool knowledge from the many different disciplines that are relevant to his work. Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 6 are drawn from the conference, while two other conference papers, those of Henry Blumenthal and Richard Sorabji, are being incorporated into books in preparation (see Bibliography). Sorabji's main suggestions, however, are included in Chapter I in the discussion of matter and extension (pp 18 and 23). The remairnng  chapters, apart from the inaugural lecture, were solicited or written for the volume, two of them (5 and 12) having been delivered first at a seminar on Ancient Science at the Institute of Classical Studies.

[Conclusion, p. 120]: If we are prepared to assume that the basic presuppositions of impetus theory 
can be traced back not to observational  experience which  Aristotle  missed, 
but rather to a certain concept of man and to certain ethical  principles,  we 
need not attempt to explain the emergence of the theory solely by reference to 
new observations of falling bodies and the like.  Is it not more appropriate to 
ask  about  the  origin  and  kind  of  ethical  problem  to  which  impetus  theory 
originally  helped  to  provide  an  answer?  The  experience  that  forces  are 
exhausted in all physical activities of human beings could have been just such 
a  problem.  Earlier society,  which  had  left  this  experience  chiefly  to  slaves, 
could not  really  have  had  such  a  problem.  But,  by  the close  of Antiquity, 
times were changing.

In this text, the author analyzes the contents of Philoponus' commentary on Aristotle's Physics and investigates the extent to which it reflects Theophrastus' thought. Specifically, the author focuses on a passage in which Philoponus discusses the notion of composition involved in physical forms and powers. The author argues that the parallels in wording and doctrine between Philoponus' later discussions and the earlier commentary suggest that Philoponus was the intellectual author of the passage. Furthermore, the author proposes that Philoponus included this passage to provide an explanation for Theophrastus' claim that physical forms are composite, in light of the classification of substances in the Categories commentary.

Apart from two botanical works, a collection of character sketches, and several scientific opuscula, his works survive only through quotations and reports in secondary sources. Recently these quotations and reports have been collected and published, thereby making the thought of Theophrastus accessible to a wide audience. The present volume contains seventeen responses to this material.\r\n\r\nThere are chapters dealing with Theophrastus' views on logic, physics, biology, ethics, politics, rhetoric, and music, as well as the life of Theophrastus. Together these writings throw considerable light on fundamental questions concerning the development and importance of the Peripatos in the early Hellenistic period. The authors consider whether Theophrastus was a systematic thinker who imposed coherence and consistency on a growing body of knowledge, or a problem-oriented thinker who foreshadowed the dissolution of Peripatetic thought into various loosely connected disciplines. Of special interest are those essays which deal with Theophrastus' intellectual position in relation to the lively philosophic scene occupied by such contemporaries as Zeno, the founder of the Stoa, and Epicurus, the founder of the Garden, as well as Xenocrates and Polemon hi the Academy, and Theophrastus' fellow Peripatetics, Eudemus and Strato.\r\n\r\nThe contributors to the volume are Suzanne Amigues, Antonio Battegazzore, Tiziano Dorandi, Woldemar Gorier, John Glucker, Hans Gottschalk, Frans de Haas, Andre Laks, Anthony Long, Jorgen Mejer, Mario Mignucci, Trevor Saunders, Dirk Schenkeveld, David Sedley, Robert Sharpies, C. M. J. Sicking and Richard Sorabji. The Rutgers University Studies in Classical Humanities series is a forum for seminal thinking in the field of philosophy, and this volume is no exception. Theophrastus is a landmark achievement in intellectual thought. Philosophers, historians, and classicists will all find this work to be enlightening.

[Conclusion, p. 227]: A fuller account of the fortuna of Philoponus in the sixteenth century and an analytical study of the place of his physical thought in the development of that 
subject during the Renaissance requires a much more concerted effort than I 
have been able to give here.  I hope that I have at least been able to show that the subject is worthy of further investigation.
