Es geht um die im Platonismus entwickelte Vorstellung einer Gottheit eigenen zeitlosen, zeit3berlegenen Ewigkeit, die von Plotin aus (Enneaden III 7) die abend- lindische Theologie und Mystik stark beeinfluf3t hat. Zugrunde liegt Platons Spekulation 3ber Aion und Chronos, Timaios 73 c-38 c; ausformuliert ist die These vom ewigen Jetzt fur unsere Kenntnis erstmals im mittleren Platonismus (Plutarch, De E ap. Delph. 393 A-C). Doch hat sie der Neuplatonismus - sicher- lich zu Unrecht - bereits in ein beruhmtes Parmenides-Fragment (8, 5 D.-Kr., wo es vom Sein heift, dag ,alles jetzt zusammen ist", nach U. Hoelscher) hinein- gelesen. Der Verf., der diese Oberlieferungsverhiltnisse klarend darlegt, unterzieht das Fragment im ersten Teil seiner Arbeit einer scharfsinnigen, reich dokumen- tierten Analyse. Dabei wird die Ansicht begrundet, dai3 die Texte unserer spht- antiken Zeugen (Simplikios einerseits, die vier alexandrinischen Ausleger andrer- seits) nicht iber jeden Zweifel erhaben sind. Es k6nnte sein, daf3 bei Simplikios - dem die modernen Ausgaben zu folgen pflegen - eine neuplatonische Adaption des parmenideischen Wortlauts vorliegt, so daf die uberlieferte Form von Parm. 8, 5 fur die Ermittlung der Lehre des grof3enEleaten ausscheiden muf3te - ein fur die Vorsokratikerforschung recht erhebliches Ergebnis. - In einer zweiten Unter- suchung geht der Verf. dem gleichen Motiv (,Gottes ewiges Heute': der Leser der augustinischen Confessionen hat es aus dem grofartigen Lobpreis XI 13 in Erinne- rung) bei Philon von Alexandria nach, wobei sich ein belehrender Einblick in die platonistisdhe Tradition ergibt (verwunderlich, daf3 Clemens von Alexandria nach Migne's Patrologie, Maximos von Tyros nach der alten Dibner'sdlen Ausgabe zitiert werden). Auch aristotelische und stoische Einflusse werden gepruft. W. stellt fest, daf3 die meisten Philonstellen, die man bisher im Sinn der neuplatonischen Lehre von einer zeitüberlegenen Ewigkeit gedeutet hatte, anders zu erklaren sind; eine Ausnahme scheint in einer allegorischen Auslegung des Alten Testaments (zu Levit. 2, 14) vorzuliegen (de sacrif. 76). Es bleibt dabei, daf3 das weitreidiende Thema in voller Klarheit erstmals in Plutarchs ob. gen. Dialog angesprochen wird; er hangt sicher mit dem seit Ende des 1. Jh. v. Chr. wieder rege gewordenen Studium des platonischen Timaios zusammen, welches in dem Kommentar des Alexandriners Eudoros, eines pythagoreisierenden Platonikers, moglicherweiseeine Quelle Plutarchs hervorgebracht hat (hier ware auf eine den Problemen des mitt- leren Platonismus gewidmete Arbeit H. Dbrrie's hinzuweisen gewesen, in: Les Sourdes de Plotin, Entresiens sur L'Antiquite Classique, t. V, 1957 193 it)." (Review, H. Strohm)

Information from a number of sources has established that John Philoponus' Contra Aristotelem, a refutation of Aristotle's proofs of the eternity of the world, was at least partially available to the Arabic philosophers in the Middle Ages. The present article shows that the Arabic Jewish writer Sacadia used a set of proofs of creation ultimately deriving from Philoponus. With the aid of this result the following further conclusions are also drawn: Kindi too used a set of proofs of creation ultimately deriving from Philoponus; a variety of medieval arguments from the impossibility of an infinite are to be traced to Philoponus; the standard Kalām proof of creation, the proof from "accidents," originated as a reformulation of one of Philoponus' arguments.

Das am häufigsten interpretierte Werk des Corpus Aristote- licum in der Antike ist die Kategorienschrift. Die den Kommen­ taren vorausgeschickte Einleitung kommt dabei meist einer all­ gemeinen Einführung in das Studium der aristotelischen Philo­ sophie gleich. Seit Ammonios, dem Sohn des Hermeias, wird in diesem Zusammenhang auch das Problem der vöfta ßißXLa be­ rührt (CAG IV4, 8, 2-6)x). Während aber Ammonios selbst nur kurz das Faktum, viele hätten ihre eigenen Werke unter dem Namen des Aristoteles herausgegeben, erwähnt zu haben scheint2), erfährt dieser Punkt bei seinen Schülern eine mehr oder weniger umfangreiche Ausgestaltung.

Das Thema für Kap. n — 12 ist am Schluß von Kap. 10 gegeben; 280a 28: »Einige vertreten die Ansicht, etwas dem Werden nicht Unterliegendes (aye- vy)tov) könne vergehen, und etwas Entstandenes könne unvergänglich bestehen bleiben, wie im Timaios. Dort nämlich sagt (Platon), der Himmel sei zwar ge­ worden, indessen werde er die übrige immerwährende Zeit existieren. Mit diesen haben wir uns bisher nur unter physikalischen Gesichtspunkten betreffs des Himmels auseinandergesetzt. Nachdem wir die Untersuchung aber allge­ mein über alles angestellt haben, wird auch hierüber Klarheit sein.«Wir dürfen also eine Argumentation erwarten, der Form: »Wenn für jedes Subjekt gilt: Es kann nicht geworden und unvergänglich sein, dann gilt es auch für den Himmel. Nun gilt es für jedes, also auch für den Himmel.« Dieser Beweis — besser: diese Beweise, denn es handelt sich nicht um eine elemen- tatio, wie Aristoteles sie für die Geometrie kannte und wie, aus Aristoteles schöpfend, 700 Jahre später Proklos sie für Physik und Theologie schrieb, — finden sich in Kap. 12...

Kepler,  who,  as  we  all  know,  lived  under  the  new  heaven  created  by Copernicus,  discusses  the  question  whether  the  planets  are  moved  by Intelligences or by souls or by nature. His consideration of Intelligences 
as  possible  movers  of  the  planets  refers  to  a  view  held  by  those  who  in  the Middle Ages lived under the  old Ptolemaic heaven, the term Intelligences being, by  a  complexity  of  miscegenation,  a  descendant  of  what  Aristotle  describes  as 
incorporeal  substances.  His  consideration  of  souls  or  nature  as possible  movers of  the  planets  touches  upon  a  topic  which  was  made  into  a  problem  b y  the 
Byzantine  Greek  commentators  of  Aristotle.In  this  paper  I  shall  try  to  show  how  the  Byzantine  commentators,  in  their study  of  the  text  of  Aristotle,  were  confronted  with  a  certain  problem,  how they  solved  that  problem,  and  how  their  solution  of  that  problem  led  to  other 
problems  and  solutions,  all  of  which  lingered  in  philosophic literature  down  to Kepler. [Author's abstract]

n 19671 had  only  just  begun  to  study  Simplicius’  commentary  on  Epictetus’ 
Enchiridion, and I had had at that time my first few doubts about whether 
Praechter’s  views  on  the  dogmatic  position  of Alexandrian  Neo­
platonism were well founded.2 Praechter had at least formulated these 
views in the form of hypotheses, but despite his circumspection, they 
had quickly become unassailable certainties for historians, universally 
admired and accepted for over fifty years. It was just at this point that I 
came  across  the  contribution  of A. C.  Lloyd,  who  dared  to say3 that 
Praechter had  misread or read too hastily the passages in Simplicius’ 
commentary on Epictetus which referred to first principles, on which 
Praechter  largely  based  his  theory.  It  was  Lloyd  again,  in  the  same 
paper,4  who  put  historians  of philosophy  on  their  guard  against the tendency  (likewise  deriving from  Praechter)  to  minimize,  or even  to 
refuse to acknowledge, the importance of the fact that for a long time all 
the  Neoplatonists  believed  in  a  fundamental  agreement  between 
Plato’s  philosophy  and  Aristotle’s.  In  my  book  Le Problème du néo­
platonisme alexandrin: Hiéroclès et Simplicius’ I simply followed the track 
marked  out  by  Lloyd.  And  even  now,  in  the  translation  with  com­
mentary of Simplicius’ commentary on the  Categories which has been 
undertaken under my editorship,5 61 am attempting to carry further the 
critique of Praechter’s hypotheses which Lloyd began.This will also be the case in the present paper, which will bring out 
some  of  the  results  which  might  be  reached  by  working  on  the 
Neoplatonic commentaries on Aristotle’s  Categories. [pp. 175 f.]

The School of Ammonius, Son of Hermias, on Knowledge of the Divine, 1994

The thesis undertakes a reconstruction and critical assessment of
the theory of the Neoplatonic school of Ammonius, son of Hermias, on the
presuppositions for the acquisition of knowledge of the divine and also
on the contents and the purpose of this knowledge.
The metaphysical position of the human soul between the
intelligible and the sensible worlds allows it to know the intelligible
world and the divine, in particular, provided that the cognitive reasonprinciples
in the human intellect are activated. The purpose of such
knowledge is the assimilation to the divine and is achieved by means of
a personal struggle with the help of theoretical and practical
philosophy. The school of Ammonius compared its philosophical attempt at
knowledge of the divine to previous similar methods.
Since the One is unknowable, the members of this school believed
that man can know to some extent the Demiurge, who belongs to the second
level of the intelligible world. The members of the school had different
views on affirmative and negative theology. The intelligible ante rem
universals, the most fundamental of which is Substance, constitute the
cognitive and creative reason-principles of the demiurgic Intellect. The
eternal activation of these principles result in the Demiurge's
omniscience and the creation of the world, which is coetemal with the
Demiurge. The Demiurge is incorporeal and exercises providence for what
He has created, but He is not omnipotent.

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.

There is undoubtedly a Platonic
motivation in the commentators’ refusal to accept Aristotle’s claim about the
connection of thinking with phantasms as universally valid. After all, it is even plausible that Aristotle was himself implicitly reacting against Plato’s view in Republic VI (510 C–511 C) that thinking – νόησις contrary to
διάνοια – is without images. However, even if their Platonic perspective is undeniable, the ancient commentators also have, as I hope to show, valuable
arguments to restrict Aristotle’s claim to some forms of knowledge.
In this contribution I will discuss the views of four commentators of late antiquity: Themistius, Ammonius (as reported by Philoponus), John Philoponus (in his lectures as reported by a student), and Priscian of Lydia (Pseudo-Simplicius). But before I turn to the commentators I have to recall briefly Plotinus, who was himself an intensive reader of the Aristotelian treatise On the Soul, but interpreted it in his own manner. [Introduction, pp. 187 f.]

Scholars have long recognised the interest of the Stoics' thought on geometrical limits, both 
as a specific topic in their physics and within the context of the school's ontological 
taxonomy. Unfortunately, insufficient textual evidence remains for us to reconstruct their 
discussion fully. The sources we do have on Stoic geometrical themes are highly polemical, 
tending to reveal a disagreement as to whether limit is to be understood as a mere concept, 
as a body or as an incorporeal. In my view, this disagreement held among the historical 
Stoics, rather than simply reflecting a doxographical divergence in transmission. This 
apparently Stoic disagreement has generated extensive debate, in which there is still no 
consensus as to a standard Stoic doctrine of limit. The evidence is thin, and little of it refers 
in detail to specific texts, especially from the school's founders. But in its overall features the 
evidence suggests that Posidonius and Cleomedes differed from their Stoic precursors on 
this topic. There are also grounds for believing that some degree of disagreement obtained 
between the early Stoics over the metaphysical status of shape. Assuming the Stoics did so 
disagree, the principal question in the scholarship on Stoic ontology is whether there were 
actually positions that might be called "standard" within Stoicism on the topic of limit. In 
attempting to answer this question, my discussion initially sets out to illuminate certain 
features of early Stoic thinking about limit, and then takes stock of the views offered by late 
Stoics, notably Posidonius and Cleomedes. Attention to Stoic arguments suggests that the 
school's founders developed two accounts of shape: on the one hand, as a thought-construct, 
and, on the other, as a body. In an attempt to resolve the crux bequeathed to them, the 
school's successors suggested that limits are incorporeal. While the authorship of this last 
notion cannot be securely identified on account of the absence of direct evidence, it may be 
traced back to Posidonius, and it went on to have subsequent influence on Stoic thinking, 
namely in Cleomedes' astronomy. [Author’s abstract]

As far as traditional classifications go, the Stoics count as materialists. But it is notorious that there were four things in  their world-view which do not fit this caracterization: time, place, the void and the so-called ‘sayables', or lekta (SE AM 10.218  =  FDS 720). Lekta consist of three main kinds of quasi-linguistic item: centrally, simple propositions (as well as certain non-assertoric, but grammatically autonomous, items) are ‘complete’ lekta (DL 7 .6-8 = FDS  696, 874; SE AM 8.70-74).  From these propositions, more complex ‘complete’ lekta maybe constructed, such as conditionals (DL 7.71) or syllogisms (DL 7.63). And within the structure of complete lekta, ‘incomplete’ lekta, such as predicates, maybe discerned. I call lekta quasi-linguistic, rather than linguistic,  because,  as we learn from an important passage in Sextus (AM 8.11-13 = FDS 67), the Stoics distinguished lekta both from language and from physical objects in the world. Hence linguistic items such as the verb (rhêma) ‘writes’ and the complete sentence (logos) ‘Socrates writes’ should be kept rigorously apart from their corresponding lekta  -  the predicate (katigorema) writes and the complete proposition (axidma) Socrates writes - which the linguistic expressions signify  (semainein: SE AM 8.11 - 12, DL 7.56, 58, 65). 
In this paper I shall examine the Stoic treatment of the main constituents of the complete lekton: cases and predicates. I shall argue that cases are, like predicates, (incomplete) lekta, and that the verbal noun played a central role in Stoic thinking about lekta. In the light of these reflections, I shall conclude with some speculative remarks on the unity of the proposition. [Introduction, p. 91]
