Unter Hinweis auf Cicero, Lucullus ( = Academica priom II) 118 und 123, Tusculanae disputationes 1 18 ff. und De nutum deorum I 25 ff. hat Hermann Dieis diese Frage bekanntlich bejaht.1 Die wichtigste Stelle, auf die ich mich aus mehreren Gründen beschränke,2 ist dabei der Passus über die Prinzipien Luc. 118, wo der Dissens (dissensio, Luc. 117) der Philosophen von Thaies bis zu Platon und den Pythagoreern kritisiert wird. Diels hat hier ganz auf­ fallend argumentiert. Zum einen hat er, teilweise zu Recht, hingewiesen auf Übereinstimmungen zwischen Luc. 118 und den entsprechenden Theophrastfragmenten bzw. Paraphrasen in Simplikios’ Kommentar zur ari­ stotelischen Physik, die Usener und er den Phys. op. zugewiesen haben.3 Als nächstes aber hat er Luc. 119-121 über die stoische Theorie der Vorsehung (SVFI I 92 u. 1161) und über Aristoteles’ {Dephilos. fr. 20 Ross) und Stratons (fr. 32 Wehrli) entgegengesetzte Auffassungen ausgeklammert, weil dieses Stück nicht auf Theophrast zurückgeführt werden könne. Aus den nach­ folgenden Paragraphen, die über verschiedene Ansichten von den Himmelskörpern und der Erde referieren, hat er schliesslich 123 “Hiketas von Syrakus, wie Theophrast sagt” {Hicetas Syracosius, ut ait Theophrastus . . . ) usw. wieder als Beweis dafür angezogen, dass die doxographische Übersicht zur Astronomie aus den Phys. op. stamme. In der Nachfolge Kri- sches hatte schliesslich schon Diels zu Recht bemerkt, dass Ciceros unmittelbare Quelle ein Akademiker, wohl ein Karneadesschüler, sein müsse. Das Textstück über Hiketas (auch abgedruckt Vorsokr. 51.1) hat er als Phys. op. fr. 18 aufgenommen {DG 492-3). Es ist dies der einzige Cicerotext in der betreffenden Dielsschen Sammlung.

The text explores the sources of the medieval theory of analogy and its various applications and argues that it was a product of the philosophical exegesis of Aristotle that followed the translations of his work and its Greek and Arabic interpretations. [introduction]

Book Six of Aristotle's Physics, which concerns the continuum, shows Aristotle at his best. It contains his attack on atomism which forced subsequent Greek and Islamic atomists to reshape their views entirely. It also elaborates Zeno's paradoxes of motion and the famous paradoxes of stopping and starting. This is the first translation into any modern language of Simplicius' commentary on Book Six. Simplicius, the greatest ancient authority on Aristotle's Physics whose works have survived to the present, lived in the sixth century A.D. He produced detailed commentaries on several of Aristotle's works. Those on the Physics, which alone come to over 1300 pages in the original Greek, preserve not only a centuries-old tradition of ancient scholarship on Aristotle but also fragments of lost works by other thinkers, including both the Presocratic philosophers and such Aristotalians as Eudemus, Theophrastus and Alexander. The Physics contains some of Aristotle's best and most enduring work, and Simplicius' commentaries are essential to an understanding of it. This volume makes the commentary on Book Six accessible at last to all scholars, whether or not they know classical Greek. It will be indispensible for students of classical philosophy, and especially of Aristotle, as well as for those interested in philosophical thought of late antiquity. It will also be welcomed by students of the history of ideas and philosophers interested in problem mathematics and motion. [offical abstract]

‘The articles in this volume are, in the main, the texts of papers read either in full or in part at the First International Conference on Greek Philosophy (Samos 1988)’ (from the editor’s Preface). Appropriately to such a first conference, it was devoted to the beginnings of philosophy in Greece and, more specifically, in Ionia itself. The volume includes forty- seven papers dealing with all the major figures of Ionian philosophy, from the Milesians to Anaxagoras. Pythagoras, the most illustrious native of Samos, and the Pythagoreans (technically considered an ‘Italian’ sect, but included by courtesy in the theme of the conference), attract the attention of seven scholars. The other notable Samian, Melissus, is the subject of only one contribution, by D. Furley, possibly because Melissus is usually BOOK REVIEWS 141classified by the doxographers as an Eleatic. Xenophanes of Colophon is dealt with in five of the articles. Perhaps not surprisingly, almost half of the papers deal with Heraclitus of Ephesus, just across the water from Samos. Among those excluded from this book are the Italians Parmenides, Zeno and Empedocles, and the atomists of Abdera" [Review Scolnicov]

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)...

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 civilt\u00e0 antica, una rinascita della tradizione platonica ad opera di un pensatore destinato a divenire maestro degli ultimi maestri di platonismo dell'antichit\u00e0. Plutarco di Atene, finora considerato piu un termine di continuit\u00e0 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 pi\u00f9 famoso primo discepolo, Siriano) le fondamenta piu solide dell'ultima sistemazione del platonismo (Proclo e Damscio)...

This text discusses Simplicius' testimony concerning Anaxagoras and the authenticity of the fragments attributed to Anaxagoras, which are mostly preserved by Simplicius. While scholars have debated the authenticity of Simplicius' fragments, the author believes in Simplicius' faithfulness to the true doctrine of Anaxagoras. However, the author notes that Simplicius wrote about a thousand years after Anaxagoras, was a pupil of Proclus, and a neo-Platonist himself. The text highlights the importance of comparing Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle with the corresponding text of Aristotle to understand his personal interpretation of Anaxagoras. Finally, the text briefly discusses Anaxagoras' concept of nous and its interpretation by Plato, Aristotle, and Simplicius. [introduction/conclusion]

In this article, the author, Carlos Steel, aims to challenge the common belief that Guillaume de Moerbeke collaborated with Saint Thomas Aquinas. While the legend of their collaboration has been debunked by numerous scholars, Steel seeks to restore this "edifying story" of the partnership between the great speculative philosopher and the learned philologist. Steel examines the origins of the legend and how it was perpetuated over time. However, he acknowledges that the value of the ancient testimonies supporting this legend is now considered null. He plans to confront the tradition with the historical data from the medieval translations of Aristotle. Through a critical examination of the available documentation, Steel aims to provide new insights into this long-standing debate. [introduction]

Simplikios hat das Schema von Phys. 12 zweimal für die Monisten vervollständigt. Bei den Eleaten konnte er dabei Aristoteles' eigener Erweiterung im Verlauf von 12 folgen. Dieses Raster liegt nun auch in Metaph. A 5, 986 b 17 sqq. vor; insofern konnte Simplikios die auf diesen letzteren Passus zurückgehenden, das erweiterte Raster aufweisenden Auskünfte Theophrasts ohne weiteres an seine Gliederung nahtlos anfügen. Für die physikalischen Monisten ist theophrastischer Einfluss auf Simplikios' erweitertes Schema in Phys. 23,21-22 und 24,13 kaum abweisbar, da für alle behandelten Denker von Thaies bis Diogenes von Apollonia eine entsprechende Prädizierung beim Eresier belegt ist oder erschlossen werden kann.

This text discusses the concept of the Eleatic school of philosophy, which is attributed to the philosophers Parmenides and Xenophanes. The author argues that the school may not have actually existed as a unified movement, but rather was an invention to help classify the philosophical systems of ancient Greece. The author discusses the historical development of the Eleatic school from Plato to Simplicius and analyzes the presentation of the four Eleatic philosophers by Simplicius. The author concludes that Simplicius, like Plato and Aristotle before him, considers Parmenides to be the central figure of the Eleatic school. The text also examines the reasons why the Eleatic school has been characterized as monistic, and argues that this may be due to a misinterpretation of the works of Parmenides and Melissus.

The digression labelled “Corollarium de loco” by Hermann Diels in his edition of Simplicius’ commentary on Aristotle’s Physics (Commentaria  in Aristotelem  Graeca, IX, Berlin  1882) is a key text in the debate - often referred to by specialists as magna quaestio -  generated by an apparent lack of consistency between Aristotle’s definition of ‘place’ (topos) as “the first unmoved boundary 
of the surrounding body”  (Phys. IV, 4, 212 a 20-21) and his assertion that the Heaven moves in a circle while not being ‘somewhere’, since it is not surrounded by  any  body that  would be  exterior to it.  Following the  steps of his  master Damascius, and at the end of a long discussion initiated by Neoplatonists after Plotinus (principally by Iamblichus, Proclus and Syrianus), Simplicius replaces Aristotle’s definition with a new definition of place as a “gathering (or uniting) measure” (metron sunagôgon), which is one of the four “measures” (number, size, place, time) or gathering powers that protect the intelligible and sensible 
entities against the dangers of the dispersion related to the procession of reality. This doctrine places physics in a decidedly theological perspective since, in last analysis, these uniting powers derive from the One or Good per  se. Our under­standing of this crucial text for our knowledge of the Neoplatonic philosophy of 
Nature will be improved thanks to a new critical edition (with French translation and notes), to be published soon in the collection “Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca and Byzantina” (by Walter de Gruyter) under the auspices of the Academy 
of Sciences of Bcrlin-Brandenburg. The new edition is based not only on a fresh collation of the two manuscripts used by Diels (Marciani  graeci 227 and 229) but also on a Moscow manuscript (Mosquensis Muz. 3649) unknown to the Ger­man scholar, since it belonged during the nineteenth century to a private Russian 
collection. [Author's abstract]

The debate in the sixth century between the Christian philosopher JohnPhiloponus and the Platonist philosopher Simplicius about whether the cosmos was created or eternal was of momentous importance not only to their understanding of the world and of the means to salvation from its trials but also to their views of what astronomical science was and how it should proceed in making its arguments. This brief chapter outlines this debate and then explores the main lines of attack to be taken in determining how Thomas Aquinas, who was supplied by William of Moerbeke with a translation of the text in which Simplicius responds to Philoponus, dealt with Simplicius’ reading of Aristotle in advancing a vigorous polemic against his Christian faith.

The text discusses the life and works of Simplicius of Cilicia, a philosopher from the 6th century CE. Little is known about his life, but he received education from prominent figures such as Ammonius in Alexandria and Damascius in Athens. Simplicius' philosophical outlook was influenced by Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus. The expulsion of Platonists from Athens in 532 CE halted school activities, and Simplicius' life span is estimated to be around 480-560 CE. The abstract mentions the debates about where Simplicius went after his trip to Persia, with some suggesting Harran in Syria as a possible safe haven. The works attributed to Simplicius include commentaries on Aristotle's Categories, Physics, and On the Heavens, and possibly Metaphysics (lost) and De Anima. He also wrote a commentary on Epictetus' Handbook and a summary version of Theophrastus' Physics. Simplicius' importance as a source for ancient Greek philosophy and science has sometimes overshadowed his contributions as an independent thinker. The methodology of Simplicius' vast output is discussed, highlighting his role in transmitting Greek philosophy and science. While he is known for using quotations to substantiate and clarify his work, he is not merely seen as a conduit of earlier thinkers. The text emphasizes the need to view Simplicius as an independent thinker and not just a commentator. The neglectful view of Simplicius in the past is attributed to a focus on fragment-hunting and the recovery of early Greek philosophy. [introduction]

Simplicius is well regarded today as an insightful comprehensive, detailed, sometimes repetitive, but generally useful and reliable interpreter of Aristo­tle. How he reads other authors though - with the possible exception of the Presocratics - is less well studied. In this chapter myaim is to examine Sim­plicius' interpretation of Plato. By this I mean not Simplicius' views regarding Platonism (though these of course influenced his interpretation), but rather the ways in which Simplicius read the particular dialogues written by Plato, as well as the history that had accumulated by his time regarding Plato's life and thought. While something of a picaresque task, given that Simplicius' extant commentaries all center on texts of either Aristotle or the Stoic Epictetus -  the Physics, De Caelo,  Categories, and, disputedly, the De Anima, as well as the En­chiridion - nevertheless, his frequent references, allusions, and discussions of Plato's works in his writing provide ample evidence for gathering a good work­ing picture of how Simplicius read him.

This text provides an overview of Simplicius of Kilikia, a philosopher who wrote several commentaries on Aristotle's works in the 6th century CE. Simplicius fled to Persia with other philosophers after Justinian closed the school in 529 CE. His commentaries offer a Neo-Platonic perspective on Aristotle's philosophy, paraphrasing his dense prose and developing problems and themes from his own perspective. Simplicius made original contributions to scientific issues, such as altering Aristotle's cosmological account and adding to the understanding of time and place. He also wrote a commentary on a Hippocratic work, possibly the On Fractures. [whole text]
