G. Vlastos, in Gnomon, XXV (1953), pp. 34-5, claims that he (and J. E. Raven before him) have laid to rest "the alleged corporeality of Melissean Being in the grave which contains Burnet's famous dogma of Eleatic materialism." There is a surprising finality about this claim of Vlastos', and it behooves his critics to consider whether such finality is justified. I think myself that, while Vlastos' arguments are forceful and well ex- pressed, they still fail to carry absolute conviction; and in this brief discussion I shall try to set out the reasons for my scepticism.

In den philosophischen Texten der späten Kaiserzeit stößt man zuweilen auf den Namen Ptolemaios, ohne daß dabei an einen Lagiden oder an den berühmten Astronomen zu denken wäre. Wie jene Zitate auf einen oder mehrere Träger dieses Namens zu verteilen seien, war eine einst viel diskutierte Frage, die dann allerdings im Anschluß an eine Vermutung W. v. Christs durch das Buch von A. Chatzis (Der Philosoph und Grammatiker Ptolemaios Chennos I = Stud. z Gesch. u. Kult. d. Altert. VII 2, Paderborn 1914) endgültig dahin beantwortet schien, es handele sich bei all diesen Ptolemaioi immer wieder um Ptolemaios Chennos aus der Zeit um 100 n. Chr., der uns durch den Auszug des Photios aus seiner καινὴ ἱστορία (cod. 190) recht gut bekannt ist. Diese Frage soll hier einer erneuten Prüfung unterzogen werden. [introduction, p. 314]

G.

This article by N. B. Booth examines whether Zeno's arguments were a response to criticisms of Parmenides's principle „the One“. Despite evidence that Zeno was concerned with defending Parmenides's „One“, his arguments about plurality seem to refute the "ones" of a plurality. One possible explanation is that Zeno's arguments were used to counter criticisms of Parmenides's „One“ before he produced them. Plato's Parmenides includes a passage in which "Zeno" apologizes for his book on plurality, which has been interpreted as an answer to criticisms of Parmenides's theory, but Booth notes that Plato's characters are idealized and it is not certain that Zeno's arguments were a response to attacks. Booth looks at the arguments themselves for evidence and suggests that if some of Zeno's arguments against plural "ones" were valid against Parmenides's „One“, it would be fair to infer that they were used by hostile critics and Zeno was throwing them back in their faces.

Although the metaphysical systems of the Neoplatonists at Athens were much the same, their views on the human soul, particularly on its activities, showed great divergence. This is all the more striking because they were all heavily influenced by Iamblichus. But the mode and extent of that influence varied a great deal, and their theories of the human soul varied accordingly. As a case study, I shall examine the position of Proclus and Pseudo-Simplicius on the koinê aisthêsis. Both authors took Aristotle's views as the point of departure; that is obvious in Pseudo-Simplicius' commentary on the De anima and easily detectable in Proclus' commentary on the Timaeus. Moreover, both of them paid special attention to the problem of whether this sense is separate from the five particular senses or just a joint activity of the senses. My aim is to show that the different conceptions are signs of a deeper divergence. Despite the similarity of their metaphysical outlook, their views on the structure of the human soul were considerably different, and this left its mark on their accounts of the koinê aisthêsis. [Introduction, p. 163]

This is all the more striking because they were all heavily influenced by Iamblichus. But the mode and extent of that influence varied a great deal, and their theories of the human soul varied accordingly. As a case study, I shall examine the position of Proclus and Pseudo-Simplicius on the koin\u00ea aisth\u00easis. Both authors took Aristotle's views as the point of departure; that is obvious in Pseudo-Simplicius' commentary on the De anima and easily detectable in Proclus' commentary on the Timaeus. Moreover, both of them paid special attention to the problem of whether this sense is separate from the five particular senses or just a joint activity of the senses. My aim is to show that the different conceptions are signs of a deeper divergence. Despite the similarity of their metaphysical outlook, their views on the structure of the human soul were considerably different, and this left its mark on their accounts of the koin\u00ea aisth\u00easis.

This article addresses questions concerning the characteristics of the paganism of Harran, its eclectic sources, and its development by examining the relationships - real, possible, and fictitious - of various personalities with the city of Harran from Assyrian times till the Mongol attack in 1271. It is suggested that the Sabians used Neoplatonism, which, if Tardieu's analysis is correct, they originally learned from Simplicius, to develop, explain, and justify their practice of astral magic, and that their interest in the Greek astronomy and astrology that astral magic required served to maintain the study and to preserve the texts of these sciences during the centuries in which they were ignored in Byzantium. It is further shown that the Greek philosophical and scientific material available to them was mingled with elements from ancient Mesopotamia, India, Iran, Judaism, and Egypt to form a syncretic system of belief that they could claim to be mankind's original and authentic religion.

[B]oth the content of Themistius’ works, and such evidence as we 
have  of  the  commentators’  attitudes  to  him,  show  that  he  was 
predominantly a Peripatetic. In this he stood out against the tendencies 
of  his  time.  His  frequently  expressed  admiration  for  Plato  does  not 
invalidate this conclusion. Themistius may rightly claim to have been the 
last major figure in antiquity who was a genuine follower of Aristotle. For 
him,  unlike  his  contemporaries,  Plato  does  not  surpass  the  master  of 
those  who know but he,  and  Socrates, ‘innanzi agli  altri  piu presso gli

Even more significant is the profound influence - uncovered in some of the chapters of this book - that they exert on later philosophy, Islamic and Western. Not only did they preserve anti-Aristotelian material which helped inspire Medieval and Renaissance science, but they present Aristotle in a form that made him acceptable to the Christian church. It is not Aristotle, but Aristotle transformed and embedded in the philosophy of the commentators that so often lies behind the views of later thinkers.

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 series in the field of classics grew out of Project Theophrastus, an international undertaking whose goal is to collect, edit, and comment on the fragments of Theophrastus, Greek philosopher, Aristotle's pupil and second head of the Peripatetic School. Contributions are by international experts, and each volume will have a particular focus. Volume I is devoted to Arius Didymus, court philosopher to Caesar Augustus and author of an extensive survey of Stoic and Peripatetic ethics. Volumes II and III will concentrate on Theophrastus and disseminate knowledge gained through work on the project. Volume IV will focus on Cicero and his knowledge of Hellenistic philosophy.

In this paper I shall be discussing two topics; firstly, whether Theophrastus followed Aristotle in holding that the heavens were made of a substance, the ether, distinct from the four sublunary elements, or whether as some have argued he held that the heavens were made of fire; and secondly the exact interpretation of certain technical terms of astronomy attributed to Theophrastus. I am throughout indebted to the work of my colleagues in Project Theophrastus, and especially to Professor William Fortenb

The most important ancient writing on the history of European 
thought was  the  Physical  Opinions of  Theophrastus.1 In  this 
work of  sixteen  or  eighteen books Theophrastus gave  for  the  first 
time a systematic treatment of earlier views on the main problems of 
science and philosophy. Its  influence in  antiquity is  attested  by  the 
frequency and respect with which it  was referred to by  later ancient 
writers. But  its unique position was not  fully appreciated by modern 
scholars  until Usener2 collected  the fragments  of it and Diels 
scrutinized these  fragments in  relation  to  the  large  body  of  other 
doxographical writings. Diels  proved that  these  writings,  far  from 
being isolated and independent, were virtually all  derived directly or 
indirectly from the Physical  Opinions.3 This  fact has  been of  great 
consequence for the evaluation of  both the  doxographers and Theo- 
phrastus.  Statements of  such writers as  Aetius  have  been  invested 
with the full authority of Theophrastus, and, on the other hand, this 
authority has  seemingly been enhanced by  the  very  number of  the 
doxographers who accepted it.  When a  report has  been traced back 
to the Physical Opinions, scholars have been satisfied that it has been 
traced to  an  "unimpeachable source" and  that  it  "must have  been 
based on direct acquaintance" with the original Presocratic writing. [p. 85]

In the list of Theophrastus’ works on rhetoric and poetics as given in 
the new collection under 666 FHS&G one finds twenty-four items, 
some of them (2 and 17) subdivided into (a) and (b). Most of these titles 
come from the list of Theophrastus’ works in Diogenes Laertius 5.42- 
50. In all but five cases (2, 6,17, 22 and 23, the last two on comedy and 
on the ludicrous respectively), Diogenes is our only source for them. 
The responsible editor, W. W. Fortenbaugh, also refers to several titles 
of works which other scholars had placed in the group of rhetorical trea­
tises, but his classification is different. This variation is explained by the 
fact that Diogenes’ list does not give any indication of the type of work 
to which any title belongs, which leaves scholars free to devise their 
own arrangement.In what follows I will discuss the place or the wording of a few titles, 
and especially that of 17b, thereby focusing on the nature and contents 
of 683 FHS&G. The editors have declined to arrange the fragments ac­
cording to known works (cp. vol. I, pp. 7-8). Nevertheless, I will argue, 
even by their arrangement of the titles they  sometimes  suggest too 
much, or too little. [Introduction, p. 67]
