Essays on the Transformation of Classical Tradition","main_title":{"title":"The Passionate Intellect. Essays on the Transformation of Classical Tradition"},"abstract":"Ian Kidd, of the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, has long been known as a world-class scholar of ancient philosophy and of Posidonius, in particular. Through his long struggle with the fragments of Posidonius, Kidd has done more than any other scholar of ancient philosophy to dispel the myth of \"Pan-Posidonianism.\" He has presented a clearer picture of the Posidonius to whom we may have access. The Passionate Intellect is both a Festschrift offered to Professor Kidd and an important collection of essays on the transformation of classical traditions.\r\n\r\nThe bulk of this volume is built around the theme of Kidd's own inaugural lecture at St. Andrews, \"The Passionate Intellect.\" Many of the contributions follow this theme through by examining how individual people and texts influenced the direction of various traditions. The chapters cover the whole of the classical and late antique periods, including the main genres of classical literature and history, and the gradual emergence of Christian literature and themes in late antiquity.\r\n\r\nMany of the papers naturally concentrate on ancient philosophy and its legacy. Others deal with ancient literary theory, history, poetry, and drama. Most of the papers deal with their subjects at some length and are significant contributions in their own right. The contributors to this collection include key figures hi contemporary classical scholarship, including: C. Carey (London); C. J. Classen (Gottingen); J. Dillon (Dublin); K. J. Dover (St. Andrews); W. W. Fortenbaugh (Rutgers); H. M. Hine (St. Andrews); J. Mansfeld (Utrecht); R. Janko and R. Sharpies (London); and J. S. Richardson (Edinburgh). This book will be invaluable to philosophers, classicists, and cultural historians.

Zeller argued that they could not be coexistent, but his view was challenged by Burnet; yet Cornford, as Kirk puts it, \"demonstrated that Burnet's argument . . . rested on a false assessment of the doxographic evidence on this point, as well as on the misinterpretation of several later Presocratics.\" So far so good, but Kirk goes further and contends not only that coexis- tent worlds have been wrongly assigned to Anaximander, as Zeller and Cornford have shown, but that successive worlds are also a doxo- graphic error; a similar view is argued by Kahn. In this essay I propose to scrutinize our evidence on Anaximander's plural worlds and to exam- ine, systematically and exhaustively, Kirk's and Kahn's criticism of this evidence-both as against the doxographic testimony and on its own merits.

The purpose of such\r\nknowledge is the assimilation to the divine and is achieved by means of\r\na personal struggle with the help of theoretical and practical\r\nphilosophy. The school of Ammonius compared its philosophical attempt at\r\nknowledge of the divine to previous similar methods.\r\nSince the One is unknowable, the members of this school believed\r\nthat man can know to some extent the Demiurge, who belongs to the second\r\nlevel of the intelligible world. The members of the school had different\r\nviews on affirmative and negative theology. The intelligible ante rem\r\nuniversals, the most fundamental of which is Substance, constitute the\r\ncognitive and creative reason-principles of the demiurgic Intellect. The\r\neternal activation of these principles result in the Demiurge's\r\nomniscience and the creation of the world, which is coetemal with the\r\nDemiurge. The Demiurge is incorporeal and exercises providence for what\r\nHe has created, but He is not omnipotent.\r\nThe theory of the school of Ammonius on knowledge of the divine is\r\nshown to be broadly consistent, though not necessarily convincing.
