There are four papers dealing in turn with 'Monad and Dyad as Cosmic Principles in Syrianus' by A. D. R. Sheppard; 'Procession and Division in Proclus' by A. C. Lloyd; 'La doctrine de Simplicius sur l'\u00e2me raisonnable humaine dans le Commentaire sur le manuel d'Epict\u00e8te' by I. Hadot, and fourthly 'The Psychology of (?) Simplicius' Commentary on the De anima' by H. J. Blumenthal. The other participants in the colloquium must have made it a memorable and worthwhile, though rather short-lived occasion. The foremost living experts in the field of later Platonism were present, including A. H. Armstrong, P. Hadot, J. Rist, and A. Smith.\r\nArguably the most interesting feature of the collection is the difference of opinion among at least two of the participants about the validity of C. G. Steel's 'The changing self: a study of the soul in later Neoplatonism; Iamblichus, Damascius, and Priscianus' (cf. the review by A. Smith in JHS 100 [1980]). There, it is argued that the three authors mentioned were the only later Platonists to teach the mutability as distinct from the fall of the soul. So it is well enough known that Proclus dissented from Plotinus in his assertion at e.g. Elements 211 that the soul completely falls. But it is also argued that Proclus dissented from Iamblichus in denying the changeableness of the fallen soul. With Steel's hypothesis, Blumenthal is in a large measure of agreement, whereas Ilsetraut Hadot feels that such a view is oversimplified. She suggests that even Plotinus is prepared to admit a greater degree of alteration in the soul than some exegetes allow for. It must be said in defense of her position that despite the evidence of Ennead 4.8.8 and 4.1, there are disturbing passages at 4.4.3 and 5.1.1 which challenge a too simple evaluation of Plotinus. In this particular collection, the issue is rather over the interpretation of Simplicius, De Anima 220.2-4 (cf. p. 91). Blumenthal argues that Simplicius' language need only mean that the soul has a temporary change. Against such an interpretation, Hadot argues that it overlooks the fact that Simplicius was a pupil of Damascius and he certainly believed in the change of the human soul. Perhaps, though, the views are not as far apart as the foregoing remarks may suggest. After all, it is hard to be supposed that the change in the soul argued for by Iamblichus and his followers was in itself irreversible. The whole Platonist school had to offer some sort of rationale for the obvious fact of the weakness and sinfulness of the human being. Whether one talks of 'fall', 'change', or 'weakness' seems hardly to matter. Nor is the problem restricted to pagans. A few apt quotations from St. Augustine illustrate the universal nature of the problem which faces any thinker who is prepared to take seriously both the goodness of the human soul and the existence of evil.

HAMBRUCH2 tried to show that sometimes Aristotle himself \r\nuses synonymna in the Speusippean sense [...] and that in so doing he was influenced by Speusippus. This thesis of HAMBRUCH has been accepted \r\nby several scholars, including LANG, STENZEL, and CHERNISS 3; and, though \r\nsome doubts about its soundness were expressed from different points of view4, \r\nit was only in I97I that Mr. Jonathan BARNES5 made a systematic assault \r\non it. He contends, in the first place, that Speusippus's conception of homonyma \r\nand synonyma is essentially the same as that of Aristotle, the slight differences \r\nbetween their respective definitions of each being trivial, and, secondly, that \r\neven though in a few places Aristotle does use homonyma and synonyma as \r\nproperties of linguistic terms, this is due to the fact that Aristotle's use of these \r\nwords is not as rigid as the Categories would lead one to believe; he could not \r\nhave been influenced by Speusippus because the latter conceived homonymy \r\nand synonymy as properties of things and, in any case, if influence of one on \r\nthe other be assumed, it could as well have been Aristotle that influenced \r\nSpeusippus. \r\nThough I believe that his two main contentions are mistaken, I am here \r\nmainly concerned with the first part of BARNES' thesis; for, if he were right \r\nin believing that for Speusippus homonyma and synonyma are properties of \r\nthings and not of names or linguistic terms, then HAMBRUCH'S notion that \r\nSpeusippus did influence Aristotle when the latter uses synonymon as a property \r\nof names would be wrong, even though BARNES himself were mistaken in his \r\nanalysis of the Aristotelian passages he reviews in the second part of his paper.

Wenn mit Simplikios ein Philosoph der neuplatonischen Schule das Werk eines Stoikers durch eine ausf\u00fchrliche Kommentierung w\u00fcrdigt und diesem im Curriculum des Philosophieunterrichts einen Platz einr\u00e4umt, scheinen sich die g\u00e4ngigen Vorurteile gegen den Neuplatonismus als eine alles vereinnahmende und harmonisierende Philosophie zu best\u00e4tigen.
