This study provides the first full discussion of Philoponus' excursus on matter in contra Proclum XI. 1-8 which sets out the innovative definition of prime matter as three-dimensional extension. The author argues that Philoponus' definition was motivated primarily by philosophical problems in Neoplatonism. Philoponus employs the explanation of growth, the interpretation of Aristotle's category theory and the notions of formlessness and potentiality to substantiate his definition. To conclude, the book offers an assessment of the significance of Philoponus' innovation. It is demonstrated for the first time that Plotinus' view of matter exerted considerable influence on both Philoponus and Simplicius. Moreover, the structure of Syrianus' and Proclus' metaphysics prepared the way for Philoponus' account of prime matter. [Author’s abstract]

In "Categories" chapters 7 and 8 Aristotle considers his third and fourth categories - those of Relative and Quality. Critics of Aristotle had suggested for each of the non-substance categories that they could really be reduced to relatives, so it is important how the category of Relative is defined. Arisotle offers two definitons, and the second, stricter, one is often cited by his defenders in order to rule out objections. The second definition of relative involves the idea of something changing its relationship through a change undergone by its correlate, not by itself. There were disagreements as to whether this was genuine change, and Plotinus discussed whether relatives exist only in the mind, without being real. The terms used by Aristotle for such relationships was 'being disposed relatively to something', a term later borrowed by the Stoics for their fourth category, and perhaps originating in Plato's Academy. In his discussion of Quality, Aristotle reports a debate on whether justice admits of degrees, or whether only the possession of justice does so. Simplicius reports the further development of this controversy in terms of whether justice admits a range or latitude (platos). This debate helped to inspire the medieval idea of latitude of forms, which goes back much further than is commonly recognised - at least to Plato and Aristotle. [offical abstract]

Book 2 of the Physics is arguably the best introduction to Aristotle's ideas, as well as being the most interesting and representative book in the whole of his corpus. It defines nature and distinguishes natural science from mathematics. It introduces the seminal idea of four causes, or four modes of explanation. It defines chance, but rejects a theory of chance and natural selection in favour of purpose in nature. Simplicius, writing in the sixth century Ad, adds his own considerable contribution to this work. Seeing Aristotle's God as a Creator, he discusses how nature relates to soul, adds Stoic and Neoplatonist causes to Aristotle's list of four, and questions the likeness of cause to effect. He discusses missing a great evil or a great good by a hairsbreadth and considers whether animals act from reason or natural instinct. He also preserves a Posidonian discussion of mathematical astronomy.

Steven Strange, Emory UniversityScholars have traditionally used the Aristotelian commentators as sources for lost philosophical works and occasionally also as aids to understanding Aristotle. In H. J. Blumenthal's view, however, the commentators often assumed that there was a Platonist philosophy to which not only they but Aristotle himself subscribed. Their expository writing usually expressed their versions of Neoplatonist philosophy. Blumenthal here places the commentators in their intellectual and historical contexts, identifies their philosophical views, and demonstrates their tendency to read Aristotle as if he were a member of their philosophical circle.This book focuses on the commentators' exposition of Aristotle's treatise De anima (On the Soul), because it is relatively well documented and because the concept of soul was so important in all Neoplatonic systems. Blumenthal explains how the Neoplatonizing of Aristotle's thought, as well as the widespread use of the commentators' works, influenced the understanding of Aristotle in both the Islamic and Judaeo-Christian traditions.H. J. Blumenthal is the author or coeditor of six previous books and is currently preparing a two-volume translation, with introduction and commentary, of Simplicius' Commentary on "De anima" for publication in Cornell's series Ancient Commentators on Aristotle.

The significance of Simplicius' commentary lies in the fact that it is a Neoplatonist interpretation of a Stoic text. This volume presents the first critical edition based on all the known manuscripts of this work and offers, in contrast to the edition of Schweighäuser (1800) and the recapitulation of this edition by Dübner (1840), a text which is more complete and improved. A long introduction places the work in the philosophical and historical context of its time and characterises it as a spiritual exercise. The edition is preceded by a summary of the history of the text. [authors abstract]

In  den  bisherigen Untersuchungen  zur  Form  der  Kommentare  des Proklos  und  der  Neuplatoniker  im  allgemeinen  ist  vor  allem  Gewicht darauf gelegt worden,  daß  die  Kommentare  aus  der mündlichen  Exegese der  Texte hervorgegangen  sind  und  die  Formen  dieser  mündlichen 
Exegese  sich  in  den  schriftlich  fixierten  Werken  widerspiegeln.  Neben Spuren  mündlicher  Ausdrucksformen  und  Reflexen  von  Schuldiskussio­nen  gehört  zu  diesen  Formen  vor  allem  die  Gliederung  der  Exegese  in Abschnitte,  die Vorlesungseinheiten  (praxeis)  entsprechen,  und  die 
Unterteilung  der  einzelnen  Abschnitte  in  Allgemeinerklärung  (theôria) und  Einzelerklärung  (lexis).  Bis  jetzt  blieb  jedoch  weitgehend  die  Frage außer  B etracht,  ob  und  wie  sich  die  von  den  Exegeten  selbst  redigierten 
Kommentare  von  Vorlesungsnachschriften  unterscheiden.  Es  erscheint 
deshalb  sinnvoll,  den  Blickwinkel  einmal  umzukehren  und  zu  fragen, welche  spezifischen  Formelemente  sich  in  den  Kommentaren  des  Proklos 
und  anderer  Neuplatoniker  aufzeigen  lassen,  wenn  man  sie  in  erster Linie  als  literarische  Erzeugnisse  und  nicht  als  Niederschlag  mündlicher Exegese  betrachtet.  Im  folgenden  soll  zu  diesem  Zweck  nach  einigen 
terminologischen Voruntersuchungen  die  Form  der  Lemmata,  deren Einfügung  in  den  Kom m entartext  und  der  Aufbau  der  einzelnen 
Kommentarabschnitte besprochen  werden. [Introduction, pp. 1 f.]

This text is a review of Carlos Steel‘s commentary on Simplicius‘ On Aristotle's De Anima III, 6-13. The commentary was initially attributed to Averroes, but was later believed to be written by Priscian of Lydia. The translator of the text, Carlos Steel, argues that it should be attributed to Priscian, and provides corrections to the Greek text. Despite the disputed authorship, the commentary is considered to be an original and personal engagement with Aristotle's text, and provides insight into Neoplatonic conceptions of time and the relationship between the soul and the body. The commentary also includes an illuminating discussion of sexuality in late antiquity. The article concludes that Pseudo-Simplicius' commentary remains challenging and important for contemporary work on Aristotle and Neoplatonic philosophy. [whole text]

 Aristotle’s conception of identity is too large a subject to be 
analyzed in a single article. I will try to discuss here just one of the 
many problems raised by his views on sameness. It is not, perhaps, 
the most stimulating question one could wish to see treated, but it is 
a question about logic, where I feel a little more at ease than among 
the complicated and obscure riddles of metaphysics. My subject will 
be Aristotle’s  references to what is nowadays called ‘Leibniz’ Law* 
(YLL)’)\ if two objects x and y are the same, they both share all the 
same properties. [...] It is perhaps worth remembering that (LL) must be distinguished 
from what is normally called the ‘principle of substitutivity’ (‘(SP)*) 
according to which substitution of expressions which are said to be 
the  same  is  truth  preserving.  As  has  been  shown,  (LL)  does  not 
entail  (SP), since there are counterexamples to (SP) that do not fal­
sify (LL).2 Not only (SP), but also  (LL), has been doubted by some 
modern  logicians. The  question  is  far from  being settled  and  it is 
perhaps of interest to examine how ancient logicians tried to manage 
this problem.First,  I will  consider Aristotle’s statements  about  (LL)  and  the 
analyses he gives of some supposed counterexamples to this princi­
ple. Secondly, the interpretations of his view among his Greek com­
mentators  will  be  taken  into  account  and  their  distance  from  the 
position of the master evaluated. As  Professor Moraux has taught 
us, the study of the Aristotelian tradition often gives us the opportu­
nity of understanding Aristotle’s own meaning better. [Introduction, pp. 57 f.]

The Pythagorean idea that number is the key to understanding reality inspired Neoplatonist philosophers in Late Antiquity to develop theories in physics and metaphysics based on mathematical models. This book examines this theme, describing first the Pythagorean interests of Platonists in the second and third centuries and then Iamblichus's programme to Pythagoreanize Platonism in the fourth century in his work On Pythagoreanism (whose unity of conception is shown and parts of which are reconstructed for the first time). The impact of Iamblichus's programme is examined as regards Hierocles of Alexandria and Syrianus and Proclus in Athens: their conceptions of the figure of Pythagoras and of mathematics and its relation to physics and metaphysics are examined and compared with those of Iamblichus. This provides insight into Iamblichus's contribution to the evolution of Neoplatonism, to the revival of interest in mathematics, and to the development of a philosophy of mathematics and a mathematizing physics and metaphysics.
