L'ipotesi interpretativa che regge l'impianto storiografico di questo studio \u00e8 che il Parmenide tr\u00e0dito di Simplicio sia contemporaneamente un Parmenide trad\u00ecto. In effetti, Simplicio si impegna a promuovere un'immagine di Parmenide che risulti omogenea alla strategia concordista che attraversa una larga parte del tardo neoplatoni-smo pagano. La sostanziale convergenza tra Platone e Aristotele viene estesa da Simplicio anche a Parmenide, al quale egli attribuisce un'attitudine filosofica che anticipa il bi-mondismo formu-lato da Platone. Come gi\u00e0 prima di lui aveva fatto Plutarco di Cheronea, anche Simplicio attri-buisce a Parmenide la formulazione dell'opposizione 'platonica' tra intelligibile e sensibile; sul-le orme di Plotino Simplicio interpreta il monismo ontologico di Parmenide, ossia la concezione dell'essere-uno, come una prefigurazione della seconda 'ipotesi' dell'esercizio del Parmenide platonico, dove vengono esaminate le conseguenze a partire dall'uno che \u00e8. Del resto la stessa critica che Aristotele muove a Parmenide e all'Eleatismo viene fortemente indebolita da Simplicio, che la piega alle esigenze della sua attitudine concordista. Il risultato di una simile operazione \u00e8, come spiega bene Licciardi, che il Parmenide di Simplicio non \u00e8 n\u00e9 quello storico, n\u00e9 quello 'platonico', ossia quello messo in scena nel Parmenide, e neppure quello 'aristotelico', cio\u00e8 quello contenuto nel I libro della Fisica.

Pagans and Christians were divided on whether the world had a beginning, and on whether a belief that the heavens were divine was a mark of religion. Philoponus claimed on behalf of Christianity that the universe was not eternal. His most spectacular arguments, where wrung paradox out of the pagan belief in an infinite past, have been wrongly credited by historians of science to a period 700 years later. The treatise was to influence Islamic, Jewish, Byzantine and Latin thought, though the fifth element was defended against Philoponus even beyond the time of Copernicus. The influence of the treatise was not easy to trace before the fragments were assembled. Dr. Wildberg has brought them together for the first time and provided a summary which makes coherent sense of the whole. He has also studied a Syriac fragment, which reveals that the treatise originally contained an explicitly theological section on the Christian expectation of a new heaven and a new earth.

The cases examined are the surviving Greek commentaries on Aristotle's Categories authored by Porphyry, Dexippus, Ammonius, Simplicius, Philoponus, Olympiodorus, and David. The Categories was the traditional introduction to a systematic reading of Aristotle's works; it is also blatantly anti-Platonist: if it could be shown to be harmonious with Plato's philosophy, Aristotle's other works could more easily be accommodated. ;The crucial move in the commentators' harmonization is set out in the dissertation's introductory chapter: how their determination of the intended theme of the Categories permits them to construe Aristotle's listed categories not as ontological, and so in competition with Platonist summa genera, but as semantic of the derivatively real material world. The second chapter notes that the commentators' conceptions of homonymy includes a relationship between intelligibles and sensibles according to which terms for sensibles receive their meaning because they signify that which derives both ontological determination and meaning from intelligible exemplars. It then takes up the commentators' treatment of issues of ontological dependence: how form is in matter; whether accidents are separable from one particular subject; and whether the last six categories are derivative from relationships among the first four. The third chapter shows that only Dexippus and Porphyry apud Dexippum demonstrate that the emanation of the sensible from the intelligible is parallel in Platonism and in Aristotle. Our other commentators either claim a looser parallelism between Plato and Aristotle or simply presume this parallelism. The fourth, fifth, and sixth chapters investigate how, and with what consistency, each of the commentators views each of the three categories of quantity, relatives, and quality as the building blocks of the sensible world. The fifth chapter also confirms Conti's thesis, not taken seriously since Luna's objections, that the commentators anticipate the modern notion of relation as a polyadic function. A final chapter examines the appropriateness of stopping the survey of the commentaries on the ninth chapter of a fifteen-chapter work.
