Simplicius’ exegetical strategies are explicitly and implicitly formed by what he was reading. What we still have shows him reading Aristotle and his interpreters. His isolation resulting from Justinian’s prohibition on pagan teaching activity may have contributed to the length of his expositions – which makes it plausible, therefore, that both historical and ideological reasons help to explain the size and approach of his works. In broad terms, we can characterise his method as close reading of texts, the use of multiple texts and authors, based on lemmata and an overall mixed agenda (pedagogy, philosophy, ideology). At a more detailed level we saw that he is capable of handling text variations and different manuscripts, speaks in a self-effacing way (a personal voice is rare), and uses advanced exegetical strategies (majority views important; letter vs. spirit; technical terminology). All these features justify the conclusion that his work was a synthesis of both philosophical views and their exegetical clarifications. Overall, Simplicius’ aim to annotate Aristotle’s work and preserve Greek philosophy with its exegetical tradition makes for a truly polymathic program driven by different, and sometimes competing, agendas. [conclusion, p. 180]

This study explores the idea of harmonizing philosophical discourse, which aims to reconcile philosophical texts that contain seemingly incompatible ideas. Contrary to the assumption in scholarly literature, this discourse was not widely accepted in the philosophical Schools of Late Antiquity. The author examines the reactions of Syrianus, the Head of the Platonic School at Athens, to Aristotle's criticisms of Plato's philosophy, and how Syrianus accepted parts of Aristotle's philosophy but rejected others. The article also discusses the absence of a philosophical curriculum at the time of Simplicius' Aristotelian Commentaries, which led to his concern about the innate unity of ancient Greek philosophy being broken apart.

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]

Les chapitres 4-6 du Livre II de la Physique d'Aristote constituent le premier essai dans notre littérature philosophique occidentale consacré au hasard et à la fortune. On y trouve l'exemple de la pierre qui en tombant d'une hauteur sur le crâne de quelqu'un le tue, repris par Spinoza dans son Éthique. Aristote et Spinoza s'accordent pour dire que la pierre n'est pas tombée pour tuer. Mais le rejet du finalisme et en même temps de toute forme de contingence chez Spinoza est aux antipodes du finalisme dans lequel Aristote peut inscrire le hasard. Le commentaire de Simplicius apporte sur la doctrine d'Aristote des éclaircissements et des prolongements substantiels, encore peu connus, auxquels la présente traduction, la première en français, donne un accès direct. Simplicius permet en particulier de trancher sur la question de la traduction des termes t??? et a?t?µat?? en Phys. II, 4-6, à savoir, respectivement, « fortune » et « hasard » (plutôt que « hasard » et « spontanéité »). En bon néoplatonicien, il couronne son commentaire par un hymne à la déesse Fortune. Ce livre vient à la suite de la traduction du commentaire de Simplicius à la Physique, Livre II, chap. 1-3, publiée par A. Lernould aux Presses universitaires du Septentrion en 2019. Il sera suivi d'un troisième volume qui contiendra la traduction du commentaire aux trois derniers chapitres (7-9) du Livre II de la Physique, qui portent sur la finalité naturelle et la nécessité.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the obligatory and negative character which is credited to the emergence of human language by some Neoplatonic commentators on Aristotle, namely Ammonius of Hermeias, Simplicius and Philoponus. Since the emergence of language is treated by these thinkers as being a result of the “fall”of the soul from the Neoplatonic One, I begin with a brief introduction to the Platonic and Neoplatonic theory of the soul’s separation from the world of the intelligibles and its residual innate knowledge. The second part of my contribution deals with the semantic terms and Neoplatonic principles that Ammonius, Simplicius and Philoponus deploy as they discuss the stimulation of the fallen soul’s content with the help of language, laying stress on the urgent and compulsory presence of vocal sounds in contrast to the non-linguistic communication that prevailed before the soul’s embodiment. In the third part, I explore the concept of ‘diversity’in human language as a consequence of the very emergence of language. Finally, I attempt to explain how the conventionality and diversity of human linguistic communication, abundantly contrasted by these Neoplatonists with the lost unitary status of the soul, came to be viewed by them as symptoms of ‘decay’and ‘obligation’.

Since the emergence of language is treated by these thinkers as being a result of the \u201cfall\u201dof the soul from the Neoplatonic One, I begin with a brief introduction to the Platonic and Neoplatonic theory of the soul\u2019s separation from the world of the intelligibles and its residual innate knowledge. The second part of my contribution deals with the semantic terms and Neoplatonic principles that Ammonius, Simplicius and Philoponus deploy as they discuss the stimulation of the fallen soul\u2019s content with the help of language, laying stress on the urgent and compulsory presence of vocal sounds in contrast to the non-linguistic communication that prevailed before the soul\u2019s embodiment. In the third part, I explore the concept of \u2018diversity\u2019in human language as a consequence of the very emergence of language. Finally, I attempt to explain how the conventionality and diversity of human linguistic communication, abundantly contrasted by these Neoplatonists with the lost unitary status of the soul, came to be viewed by them as symptoms of \u2018decay\u2019and \u2018obligation\u2019.

Dieser Band vereinigt erstmals alle erhaltenen antiken Interpretationen zu der von Aristoteles in De anima III, v.a. in Kap. 4-5, skizzierten Lehre vom Geist (νοῦς) im Original und in deutscher Sprache. Diese Texte bieten nicht nur Interpretationen eines der meistkommentierten Lehrstücke der ganzen Philosophiegeschichte; vielmehr enthalten sie zum Teil auch eigenständige philosophische Auseinandersetzungen über den wirkenden und leidenden, den menschlichen und den göttlichen Geist sowie über die Möglichkeiten geistigen Erfassens überhaupt. Im Einzelnen enthält der Band die Deutungen von Theophrast (4. Jh. v. Chr.), Alexander von Aphrodisias (De anima und De intellectu [umstritten]; um 200), Themistios (4. Jh.), Johannes Philoponos, Priskian (Theophrast-Metaphrase), Pseudo-Simplikios, d.h. Priskian aus Lydien (De-anima-Kommentar; alle nach 500) und Pseudo-Philoponos, d.h. Stephanos von Alexandria (um 550). Da sich diese Kommentatoren nicht selten auf frühere Ausleger beziehen, wurde die Zusammenstellung um weitere wichtige Zeugnisse ergänzt, z. B. zur Aristoteles-Deutung des Xenokrates sowie eines Anonymus des 2. Jahrhunderts. Zwei allgemeine Einführungstexte der Herausgeber informieren über die systematischen Probleme der Auslegung von De anima III 4-5 sowie über die antike Auslegungsgeschichte dieses Textes. Spezielle Einleitungen zu den acht Interpretationen informieren über Leben und Werk ihrer Autoren sowie über die Besonderheiten ihrer Interpretation. Die Anmerkungen in den Anhängen geben weitere gedankliche, sachliche oder historische Erläuterungen zu einzelnen Textstellen.

Ancient Interpretations of Aristotle's Doctrine of Homonyma, 1969
By: Anton, John Peter

Title	Ancient Interpretations of Aristotle's Doctrine of Homonyma

The main pourpose of this paper is to offer an exposition and a critical examina- 
tion of the ancient interpretations of Aristotle's doctrine of h o m o n y m .   A  circum- 
locution of what  Aristotle means  by h o m o n y m   things is given in  Categories, 
Ch. I I a. The ancient interpretations with which we are concerned in this paper are 
to be found in the extant commentaries  on this treatise. Evidently, more  com- 
mentaries had been written on the Categories than  the  vicissitudes of time allowed 
to survive, but we have only those of the following writers: Porphyrius (c: 233-303), 
Dexippus (ft. c. 350), Ammonius  (ft. C. 485), Philoponus (c. 490-530), Olympiodorus 
(ft. c. 535), $implicius (ft. c. 533), Elias (ft. c. 550). One might add here the relevant 
writings of John  Damascene  (675-749), Photius  (820-891), and  Michael  Psellus 
(1018-1079), which are useful paraphrases rather than full commentaries;  for that 
reason the interpretations they support are not discussed in this paper. [Introduction, p. 1]

Evidently, more com- \r\nmentaries had been written on the Categories than the vicissitudes of time allowed \r\nto survive, but we have only those of the following writers: Porphyrius (c: 233-303), \r\nDexippus (ft. c. 350), Ammonius (ft. C. 485), Philoponus (c. 490-530), Olympiodorus \r\n(ft. c. 535), $implicius (ft. c. 533), Elias (ft. c. 550). One might add here the relevant \r\nwritings of John Damascene (675-749), Photius (820-891), and Michael Psellus \r\n(1018-1079), which are useful paraphrases rather than full commentaries; for that \r\nreason the interpretations they support are not discussed in this paper.

Aristotle's treatise "On the Soul" figures among the most influential texts in the intellectual history of the West. It is the first systematic treatise on the nature and functioning of the human soul, presenting Aristotle's authoritative analyses of, among others, sense perception, imagination, memory, and intellect. The ongoing debates on this difficult work continue the commentary tradition that dates back to antiquity. This volume offers a selection of papers by distinguished scholars, exploring the ancient perspectives on Aristotle's "De anima", from Aristotle's earliest successors through the Aristotelian Commentators at the end of Antiquity. It constitutes a twin publication with a volume entitled "Medieval Perspectives on Aristotle's "De anima"" [offical abstract]

Ancient Philosophy and the Doxographical Tradition, 2006

[Conclusion, p. 33]: Most of the other philosophical Lives from late antiquity are written in the context 
of the Platonic philosophy: Apuleius wrote a book on Plato and his philosophy in the 
second century ce, and a hundred years later both Porphyry and Iamblichus wrote 
biographies of Pythagoras, but they are all three more of value as a source to the times 
of their authors than as a source to the subject of their biographies. Porphyry’s life 
of Pythagoras  was  part  of his  Historia Philosopha,  on  the  history  of philosophy in 
four books up to and culminating in Plato. More important is the fact that we have 
biographies of some Neoplatonic philosophers written by their students: Porphyry not 
only collected and edited Plotinus’ writings at the end of the third century ce, he also 
wrote a vivid description of Plotinus’ life as he knew it from his own time with the 
Neoplatonic philosopher in Rome.3 Two hundred years later Marinus wrote a life of 
Proclus who was head of the Academy in Athens in the fifth century ce, and early in 
the  sixth  century  Damascius  wrote  a  Historia Philosopha  (previously  called  Life of 
Isidorus),  which  covers  the  last  couple  of generations  of Platonic  philosophers  in 
Athens. Since we have so many writings by the Neoplatonic philosophers themselves, 
the significance of these biographies is not what they have to tell us about the thoughts 
of these Neoplatonists, but their description of the philosophical activities in Athens. 
Taken together with the numerous commentaries on works of Plato and Aristotle, 
they offer important information about the institutional aspects of doing philosophy in 
late antiquity, and much remains to be done in this area.4 It is no coincidence that 
Simplicius and many others in this period were capable of composing commentaries 
that are still important both for our understanding of the texts they comment on and 
for our knowledge of Greek philosophy.

Andronicus and Boethus: Reflections on Michael Griffin’s Aristotle’s Categories in the Early Roman Empire, 2018

Griffin, Rashed, and Chiaradonna have shown how we can use Simplicius’ Categories commentary to  reconstruct much  of Porphyry’s  greater  Categories commentary  (also witnessed by the Archimedes Palimpsest), and then use this to reconstruct much of the work of Boethus, and to  a lesser  extent Andronicus,  on the Categories. In  some cases 
building on Griffin, in other cases disagreeing with him, I bring out some ways in which Andronicus and Boethus differ from most later interpreters; this can help us understand Alexander’s  and Porphyry’s responses.  I  reconstruct (i) Andronicus’ interpretation of ‘in’ and ‘said of, which is based on Aristotle’s distinction between abstract nouns and paronymous concrete nouns, and avoids the metaphysical freight that later interpreters load onto the notion of ‘said o f; (ii) Boethus’ use of De Interpretation 1 to explain how 
a universal term can be synonymous without positing either universals in re or  Stoic 
XeKid, and the  consequences he draws for the different aims  of the  Categories and De Interpretation; and (iii) Boethus’ solution to the tension between Aristotle’s hylomorphism and the Categories’ account of substance. Boethus, unlike later interpreters, thinks the 
form is in the matter, and is therefore not a substance but (typically) a quality, but that it 
is nonetheless able to constitute the composite as a substance distinct from the matter. I bring out the Aristotelian basis for Boethus’ reading, connect it with Boethus’ accounts of differentiae and of the soul, and show how Boethus’ views help motivate Porphyry’s responses.  In  some  cases  Porphyry  constructs  his  views  by  triangulating  between Boethus and Alexander. [Author's abstract]

In  der  Erläuterungsschrift  des  Boethius  zu  den  Kategorien  des 
Aristoteles  ist  nach  Absolvierung  der  einzelnen  Kategorien  das 
vierte  Buch  der  Besprechung  der  sogenannten  Postprädikamente 1 
eingeräumt  (Migne  PL  64,  263-294),  wozu  freilich  gleich  auch 
gesagt werden musz, dasz die handschriftliche Überlieferung vielfach 
die  Abtrennung  eines  vierten  Buches  nicht  aufweist,  sondern  die 
uns  geläufigen  Bücher  III  und  IV  zu  einem  zusammenfaszt2, 
worauf  hier  jedoch  nicht  weiter  eingegangen  werden  soll.  Mit 
diesem Sachverhalt scheint zusammenzuhängen,  dasz —  soweit ich 
bis  jetzt  sagen  kann  —   die Handschriften C(odex) l(atinus) m(ona- 
censis)  6403  und  14516,  Bern.  265,  Paris.  B.  N.  lat.  11129  sowie 
die  Sangallenses  817  und  821  gegenüber  der  Ausgabe  von  Migne 
das  Aristoteles-Lemma de oppositis  (Kateg.  10,  11b  16  ff.)  vor die 
Kommentar-Partie  263  B-264  B  Migne  (Expeditis  .  .  .  )  treten 
lassen. [...] Die  Zweifel,  die sich  an  die  Stelle  263  B  M.  knüpfen,  möchte ich 
im  folgenden,  um  einschlägige  Arbeiten  anderer  nicht  indirekt  zu hemmen,  schon  vor  meiner  Ausgabe  möglichst  einschränken  und 
vielleicht  auch  beheben. [pp. 98 f.]

Im Einzelnen enthält der Band die Deutungen von Theophrast (4. Jh. v. Chr.), Alexander von Aphrodisias (De anima und De intellectu [umstritten]; um 200), Themistios (4. Jh.), Johannes Philoponos, Priskian (Theophrast-Metaphrase), Pseudo-Simplikios, d.h. Priskian aus Lydien (De-anima-Kommentar; alle nach 500) und Pseudo-Philoponos, d.h. Stephanos von Alexandria (um 550). Da sich diese Kommentatoren nicht selten auf frühere Ausleger beziehen, wurde die Zusammenstellung um weitere wichtige Zeugnisse ergänzt, z. B. zur Aristoteles-Deutung des Xenokrates sowie eines Anonymus des 2. Jahrhunderts. Zwei allgemeine Einführungstexte der Herausgeber informieren über die systematischen Probleme der Auslegung von De anima III 4-5 sowie über die antike Auslegungsgeschichte dieses Textes. Spezielle Einleitungen zu den acht Interpretationen informieren über Leben und Werk ihrer Autoren sowie über die Besonderheiten ihrer Interpretation. Die Anmerkungen in den Anhängen geben weitere gedankliche, sachliche oder historische Erläuterungen zu einzelnen Textstellen.
