In this chapter I turn from Parmenides to two of his successors, examining the Pluralist theories of Anaxagoras and Empedocles, in order to explore the influence of Parmenides on these later thinkers. I argue that this influence appears in two fundamental aspects of their theories: in their conceptions of the fundamental entities that are the genuine beings of their cosmologies, and in the form (mixture and Separation of the basic entities) these cosmologies take. I begin with a short discussion of the question of Pluralism itself and then turn first to Anaxagoras and then to Empedocles. [Introduction, pp. 127 f.]

In the list of Theophrastus’ works on rhetoric and poetics as given in the new collection under 666 FHS&G one finds twenty-four items, some of them (2 and 17) subdivided into (a) and (b). Most of these titles come from the list of Theophrastus’ works in Diogenes Laertius 5.42- 50. In all but five cases (2, 6,17, 22 and 23, the last two on comedy and on the ludicrous respectively), Diogenes is our only source for them. The responsible editor, W. W. Fortenbaugh, also refers to several titles of works which other scholars had placed in the group of rhetorical trea­ tises, but his classification is different. This variation is explained by the fact that Diogenes’ list does not give any indication of the type of work to which any title belongs, which leaves scholars free to devise their own arrangement.In what follows I will discuss the place or the wording of a few titles, and especially that of 17b, thereby focusing on the nature and contents of 683 FHS&G. The editors have declined to arrange the fragments ac­ cording to known works (cp. vol. I, pp. 7-8). Nevertheless, I will argue, even by their arrangement of the titles they sometimes suggest too much, or too little. [Introduction, p. 67]

Parmenides of Elea was the most important and influential philosopher before Plato. Patricia Curd here reinterprets Parmenides' views and offers a new account of his relation to his predecessors and successors. On the traditional interpretation, Parmenides argues that generation, destruction, and change are unreal and that only one thing exists. He therefore rejected as impossible the scientific inquiry practiced by the earlier Presocratic philosophers. But the philosophers who came after Parmenides attempted to explain natural change and they assumed the reality of a plurality of basic entities. Thus, on the traditional interpretation, the later Presocratics either ignored or contradicted his arguments. In this book, Patricia Curd argues that Parmenides sought to reform rather than to reject scientific inquiry and offers a more coherent account of his influence on the philosophers who came after him. The Legacy of Parmenides provides a detailed examination of Parmenides' arguments, considering his connection to earlier Greek thought and how his account of what-is could serve as a model for later philosophers. It then considers the theories of those who came after him, including the Pluralists (Anaxagoras and Empedocles), the Atomists (Leucippus and Democritus), the later Eleatics (Zeno and Melissus), and the later Presocratics Philolaus of Croton and Diogenes of Apollonia. The book closes with a discussion of the importance of Parmenides' views for the development of Plato's Theory of Forms. [author's abstract]

This text reviews J. Urmson‘s translation of Simplicius' On Aristotle's Physics 5. The review notes that the volume contains a short introduction, extensive notes, a list of textual emendations, and indices of names and subjects. The commentary addresses a range of philosophical questions, including the distinction between active and passive transformations and the relation of quality and quantity. Overall, Simplicius' commentary is important for understanding the Neoplatonic reconciliations and unifications and the move from substance to subjectivity in western philosophy. [whole text]

The article discusses Aristotle's treatment of knowledge of the principles of natural beings in his Physics, focusing on the process of induction and the contradictions in his approach. The author argues that the discovery of principles through analysis and empirical generalization is based on sensory data, and suggests that the autonomy of physical discourse was a contested issue among commentators. The article highlights divergences in interpretation regarding the existence of physical principles and discusses variations in the manuscript tradition. [introduction/conclusion]

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.

Plutarch and the Neoplatonists: Porphyry, Proklos, Simplikios, 2019

The present chapter, by focusing on a selection of passages from Porphyry, Proclus, and Simplicius, aims to explore Plutarch's influence within the Neoplatonists' reconsideration of Platonic philosophy, its aims, roots, and historical development. As we will see, Porphyry, Proclus, and Simplicius integrate Plutarch’s heritage into their own agendas by adapting it to their own specific historical context, which ranges from the third to the sixth century AD, a time when the fundamental reassessment of Platonism also responds to the urgency of supplying new ways to happiness and salvation that could compete with those provided by Christianity. Recalling Simplicius' invitation to taking advantage of different situations, we can conclude that all the Neoplatonists here considered judiciously took advantage of Plutarch's works to justify their own philosophical reflection and to redefine their relationship with the Platonic tradition. Despite discarding some of Plutarch's metaphysical theories, they exploited his legacy according to their own ideological and historical context. Exploring the reception of Plutarch of Chaeronea in Porphyry, Proclus, and Simplicius has helped us discern some continuous strands of thought within Imperial Platonism, notwithstanding the considerable originality and theoretical innovations that have inevitably emerged in a time span of four centuries. In this regard, it might be useful to recall that Plutarch himself was an advocate of the unity of Platonism under the aegis of its illustrious founder, as proven by the existence of his treatise "On the Unity of the Academy" from Plato (no. 63 of the Lamprias catalogue), which is unfortunately lost. The Neoplatonists also share Plutarch's fundamental conviction that Plato's works enclose a coherent system of doctrines that await to be recovered and, motivated by this, engage in an impressive activity of synthesis, exegesis, and teaching of his dialogues, perceived as an extraordinary source of knowledge. In their constant and passionate re-reading of the past and of their own tradition, Plutarch emerges as an animate figure and a dynamic interlocutor. He is not simply a motionless icon. Rather, he is kept in life through the Platonists' strenuous effort of re-thinking and re-discovering their own history and heritage. [Introduction / Conclusion]

Questo volume ottavo della Collana "Symbolon" è frutto di lunga e intelligente fatica di ricerca e di studio da parte di una delle mie più valenti allieve e collaboratrici, la dott. D. P. Taormina, che ha il merito di avere fornito, con i risultati di questo suo lavoro, la prima monografia completa, corredata dalla raccolta delle fonti mai prima d'ora compiuta (testo, traduzione e ampio commento), su uno dei più decisivi, ancorché poco studiati, anelli di collegamento tra il primo e l'ultimo neoplatonismo, ovverossia tra l'eredità immediata di Plotino e l'esplosione dell'attività speculativa più matura e sistematica della filosofia neoplatonica. Alla fine del IV secolo d. C., quando il pensiero cristiano era ormai divenuto adulto ad opera di pensatori quali Origene, Mario Vittorino e Agostino (tutti debitori del platonismo e del neoplatonismo), si ebbe ad Atene, nella vecchia e gloriosa culla della civiltà antica, una rinascita della tradizione platonica ad opera di un pensatore destinato a divenire maestro degli ultimi maestri di platonismo dell'antichità. Plutarco di Atene, finora considerato piu un termine di continuità storica che un caposaldo dello sviluppo del pensiero neoplatonico, esce dalla ricerca della Taormina in tutta la sua dimensione teoretica di esegeta e filosofo che ha contribuito a preparare (assieme al suo più famoso primo discepolo, Siriano) le fondamenta piu solide dell'ultima sistemazione del platonismo (Proclo e Damscio)...

During the past three decades Jaap Mansfeld, Professor of Ancient Philosophy in Utrecht, has built up a formidable reputation as a leading scholar in his field. His work has concentrated on the Presocratics, Hellenistic Philosophy, the sources of our knowledge of ancient philosophy (esp. doxography) and the history of scholarship.

Tra i commentari ad Aristotele quelli di Porfirio occupano senza dubbio un posto preminente.
Francesco Romano presenta uno studio sulla figura e sull’opera di Porfirio di cui analizza l’attività commentaria e i termini dell’interesse specifico per Aristotele attraverso la ricostruzione dei frammenti e delle testimonianze relativi al Commentario alla Fisica.
Per fare questo l’autore presenta la traduzione dell’opera chiarendo anche i rapporti di Porfirio con Eudemo, Nicola, Alessandro, Temistio e Simplicio. [a.a.]

The article discusses Porphyry and Iamblichus' views on universals and synonymous predication, with a focus on Porphyry's interpretation of Aristotle's theory of genus and substantial predication. Porphyry presents the genus/species relation as a kind of genealogy, which is based on the Platonic theory of the hierarchy of beings. This conception of the genus/species relation is un-Aristotelian, and Porphyry's treatment of genus in the Isagoge does not refer to transcendent ante rem principles. Porphyry's views on universals and predication are based on physical entities such as bodiless immanent forms, which provide real correlates for his universal predicates. In contrast, Iamblichus offers a Platonising reading of the Aristotelian theory of substantial predication, which refers to ante rem genera and the metaphysical relation of participation. Neither Porphyry nor Iamblichus believe that an ante rem form can be predicated synonymously of corporeal individuals.

This paper focuses on Porphyry’s Isagoge against the wider background of debates  about  genera  and  the  hierarchy  of  being  in  early  Neoplatonism  from Plotinus to Iamblichus. Three works are considered: Porphyry’s Isagoge, Plotinus tripartite treatise On The Genera of Being (VI, 1-3 [42-44]), Iamblichus’ Reply to Porphyry (the so-called De Mysteriis). In addition to this, the discussion focuses on some passages on genus and predication from Porphyry’s and
Iamblichus’  lost  commentaries on  Aristotle’s  Categories preserved  in  Simplicius.  In  his  account  of  genus,  Porphyry  draws  on Aristotle  and  apparently
claims that an amended version of the genus/species relation is able to express the hierarchy of different levels of being. This view is different from that of Plotinus, who instead argues that intelligible and sensible beings are homonymous, as well as from that of Iamblichus, who rejects the existence of a common genus above intelligible and sensible beings, while emphasising the analogy subsisting between different levels in the hierarchy.

In  this  paper  I  shall  argue  that  Porphyry  was  the  first  Platonist  philosopher  to  write commentaries on Aristotle’s  works.  Previous  scholars  have  come  close  to  maintaining 
such a view,  but to my knowledge,  this  has never been  expressly  argued.  They  usually hold that Porphyry was the first of the  Neoplatonists  (ie.  the Platonists  after Plotinus)  to write commentaries on Aristotle,  but  not the first of the entire  Platonist  tradition.  One reason  for  this  is  that  Porphyry’s  estimation  of  Aristotle’s  philosophy  has  not  been sufficiently  appreciated.  In  addition,  I  think,  the  particular  nature  of  philosophical commentary, composed systematically in late antiquity by philosophers  such  as  Alexander of Aphrodisias,  Porphyry,  or  Iamblichus  remains  in  need  of  clarification,  as  does  its philosophical  motivation.  As  a  result,  scholars  have tended to  credit several  Platonists 
before Porphyry with the writing of commentaries  on  Aristotelian  works,  simply  because they appear to have made various sorts of comments  on  one or  more of his  works.  I  will argue  that  these  Platonists  did  not,  however,  produce commentaries  of  the  sort  that Porphyry did, which I consider to be ‘commentaries’ in the proper sense of the  term.  Their failure to do so, I will argue, owes to their particular shared philosophical  background, one which, as I will argue, changes with Porphyry. In the first part of my paper (I) I will outline the difference between the various forms of commentary and the  specific form  of commentary  written  by  Porphyry.  I  will  claim  that in  the  latter  case  the  author  sets  out  to  write  a  commentary  in  order  to  facilitate  and 
encourage  its  study and assist in  its  teaching. This presupposes acceptance  of  the  views 
expressed by the source text and implies an  assertion of its  authority.  The examination of 
the evidence concerning the Platonists  before  Porphyry shows that none of them  can  be 
credited with a commentary  on  Aristotle  of the  sort  written  by  Porphyry  (II).  I  will  then 
try  to  explain  why  Porphyry  wrote commentaries  on  Aristotle  in  the  first  place  (III), which leads  me  to  conjecture  that  he  considered Aristotle’s  views  in  the  Categories (IV), the  Physics  (V),  and  on  first  principles  (VI)  compatible  with  those  of  Plato  and  also sufficiently  philosophically  valuable  as  to  deserve  serious  study.  I  will  conclude  that Porphyry wrote commentaries on Aristotle because, given his interpretations of Aristotle’s views, he accepted him as an authority  next  to  Plato,  and this  represented something  new in the Platonic tradition (VII).

Previous  scholars  have  come  close  to  maintaining \r\nsuch a view,  but to my knowledge,  this  has never been  expressly  argued.  They  usually hold that Porphyry was the first of the  Neoplatonists  (ie.  the Platonists  after Plotinus)  to write commentaries on Aristotle,  but  not the first of the entire  Platonist  tradition.  One reason  for  this  is  that  Porphyry\u2019s  estimation  of  Aristotle\u2019s  philosophy  has  not  been sufficiently  appreciated.  In  addition,  I  think,  the  particular  nature  of  philosophical commentary, composed systematically in late antiquity by philosophers  such  as  Alexander of Aphrodisias,  Porphyry,  or  Iamblichus  remains  in  need  of  clarification,  as  does  its philosophical  motivation.  As  a  result,  scholars  have tended to  credit several  Platonists \r\nbefore Porphyry with the writing of commentaries  on  Aristotelian  works,  simply  because they appear to have made various sorts of comments  on  one or  more of his  works.  I  will argue  that  these  Platonists  did  not,  however,  produce commentaries  of  the  sort  that Porphyry did, which I consider to be \u2018commentaries\u2019 in the proper sense of the  term.  Their failure to do so, I will argue, owes to their particular shared philosophical  background, one which, as I will argue, changes with Porphyry. In the first part of my paper (I) I will outline the difference between the various forms of commentary and the  specific form  of commentary  written  by  Porphyry.

Volume One deals with the Greek tradition, including one paper on Byzantine philosophy and one on the Latin author Calcidius, who is very close to the late Greek tradition in outlook. The volume begins with an overview of the tradition of commenting on Aristotle and of the study of this tradition in the modern era. It concludes with an up-to-date bibliography of scholarship devoted to the commentators.","republication_of":null,"online_url":"","online_resources":"https:\/\/uni-koeln.sciebo.de\/s\/AV77iy4WOXfGTHR","translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"is_catalog":0,"in_bibliography":0,"is_inactive":0,"notes":null,"doi_url":null,"book":{"id":233,"pubplace":"London","publisher":"Institute of Classical Studies","series":"Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies (BICS)","volume":"Supplement 83.1","edition_no":"","valid_from":null,"valid_until":null}}},"article":null},"sort":["Porphyry: The first Platonist commentator on Aristotle"]}
