Hermias: On Plato Phaedrus 257c-279c, With Syrianus - Introduction To Hermogenes On Styles

de Dirk Baltzly e Michael Share

~~101,36€~~ 91,22€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This third and final volume concludes Hermias'' commentary on Plato''s Phaedrus. Here, Plato delivers a celebrated critique of writing, and its relationship to orality. Hermias follows him, and adds a general account of good writing. In addition, this volume offers the first English translation of the brief Introduction to Hermogenes'' On Styles, which manuscripts attribute-probably mistakenly-to Hermias'' teacher Syrianus. Baltzly and Share discuss the Introduction''s authorship and its relation to the genuine commentaries of Syrianus on the rhetorical treatises of Hermogenes. They illuminate the relationship between philosophy and rhetoric in the Neoplatonic schools, and provide a novel explanation of Neoplatonic commentaries as performances of Platonic literacy in ancient elite education. This translation offers novel evidence of interest for students of ancient philosophy, rhetorical education, and literature more broadly. It is accompanied by explanatory notes, an introduction, and scholarly apparatus, including indices, glossaries, and bibliography.

 This commentary records, through notes taken by Hermias, Syrianus'' seminar on Plato''s Phaedrus, one of the world''s most influential celebrations of erotic beauty and love. It is the only Neoplatonic commentary on Plato''s Phaedrus to have survived in its entirety.

Simplicius: On Aristotle Physics 1 8 - General Introduction To The 12 Volumes Of Translations

35,76€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Supporting the twelve volumes of translation of Simplicius'' great commentary on Aristotle''s Physics, all published by Bloomsbury in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, between 1992 and 2021, this volume presents a general introduction to the commentary. It covers the philosophical aims of Simplicius'' commentaries on the Physics and the related text On the Heaven; Simplicius'' methods and his use of earlier sources; and key themes and comparison with Philoponus'' commentary on the same text. Simplicius treats the Physics as a universal study of the principles of all natural things underlying the account of the cosmos in On the Heaven. In both treatises, he responds at every stage to the now lost Peripatetic commentaries of Alexander of Aphrodisias, which set Aristotle in opposition to Plato and to earlier thinkers such as Parmenides, Empedocles and Anaxagoras. On each passage, Simplicius after going through Alexander''s commentary raises difficulties for the text of Aristotle as interpreted by Alexander. Then, after making observations about details of the text, and often going back to a direct reading of the older philosophers (for whom he is now often our main source, as he is for Alexander''s commentary), he proposes his own solution to the difficulties, introduced with a modest ''perhaps'', which reads Aristotle as in harmony with Plato and earlier thinkers.

Alexander Of Aphrodisias: On Aristotle Topics 3

35,76€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Aristotle''s Topics is a handbook for dialectic, i.e. the exercise for philosophical debates between a questioner and a respondent. Alexander takes the Topics as a sort of handbook teaching how to defend and how attack any philosophical claim against philosophical adversaries. In book 3, Aristotle develops strategies for arguing about comparative claims, in which properties are said to belong to subjects to a greater, lesser, or equal degree. Aristotle illustrates the different argumentative patterns that can be used to establish or refute a comparative claim through one single example: whether something is more or less or equally to be chosen or to be avoided than something else. In his commentary on Topics 3, here translated for the first time into English, Alexander of Aphrodisias spells out Aristotle''s text by referring to issues and examples from debates with other philosophical school (especially: the Stoics) of his time. The commentary provides new evidence for Alexander''s views on the logic of comparison and is a relatively neglected source for Peripatetic ethics in late antiquity. This volume will be valuable reading for students of Aristotle and of the developments of Peripatetic logic and ethics in late antiquity.

Alexander': On Aristotle Metaphysics 12

38,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume presents a commentary on Aristotle''s Metaphysics Book 12 by pseudo-Alexander in a new translation accompanied by explanatory notes, introduction and indexes. Fred D. Miller, Jr. argues that the author of the commentary is in fact not Alexander of Aphrodisias, Aristotle''s distant successor in early 3rd century CE Athens and his leading defender and interpreter, but Michael of Ephesus from Constantinople as late as the 12th century CE. Robert Browning had earlier made the case that Michael was enlisted by Princess Anna Comnena in a project to restore and complete the ancient Greek commentaries on Aristotle, including those of Alexander; he did so by incorporating available ancient commentaries into commentaries of his own. Metaphysics Book 12 posits a god as the supreme cause of motion in the cosmic system Aristotle had elaborated elsewhere as having the earth at the centre. The fixed stars are whirled around it on an outer sphere, the sun, moon and recognised planets on interior spheres, but with counteracting spheres to make the motions of each independent of the motions of others and of the fixed stars, thus yielding a total of 55 spheres. Motion is transmitted from a divine unmoved mover through divine moved movers which move the celestial spheres, and on to the perishable realms. Chapters 1 to 5 describe the principles and causes of the perishable substances nearer the centre of the universe, while Chapters 6 to 10 seek to prove the existence and attributes of the celestial substances beyond.

Themistius: On Aristotle Metaphysics 12

38,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is the only commentary on Aristotle''s theological work, Metaphysics, Book 12, to survive from the first six centuries CE - the heyday of ancient Greek commentary on Aristotle. Though the Greek text itself is lost, a full English translation is presented here for the first time, based on Arabic versions of the Greek and a Hebrew version of the Arabic. In his commentary Themistius offers an extensive re-working of Aristotle, confirming that the first principle of the universe is indeed Aristotle''s God as intellect, not the intelligibles thought by God. The identity of intellect with intelligibles had been omitted by Aristotle in Metaphysics 12, but is suggested in his Physics 3.3 and On the Soul 3, and later by Plotinus. Laid out here in an accessible translation and accompanied by extensive commentary notes, introduction and indexes, the work will be of interest for students and scholars of Neoplatonist philosophy, ancient metaphysics, and textual transmission.

Al-Farabi, Syllogism: An Abridgement Of Aristotle S Prior Analytics

38,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The philosopher Abu Nasr al-Farabi (c. 870-c. 950 CE) is a key Arabic intermediary figure. He knew Aristotle, and in particular Aristotle''s logic, through Greek Neoplatonist interpretations translated into Arabic via Syriac and possibly Persian. For example, he revised a general description of Aristotle''s logic by the 6th century Paul the Persian, and further influenced famous later philosophers and theologians writing in Arabic in the 11th to 12th centuries: Avicenna, Al-Ghazali, Avempace and Averroes. Averroes'' reports on Farabi were subsequently transmitted to the West in Latin translation. This book is an abridgement of Aristotle''s Prior Analytics, rather than a commentary on successive passages. In it Farabi discusses Aristotle''s invention, the syllogism, and aims to codify the deductively valid arguments in all disciplines. He describes Aristotle''s categorical syllogisms in detail; these are syllogisms with premises such as ''Every A is a B'' and ''No A is a B''. He adds a discussion of how categorical syllogisms can codify arguments by induction from known examples or by analogy, and also some kinds of theological argument from perceived facts to conclusions lying beyond perception. He also describes post-Aristotelian hypothetical syllogisms, which draw conclusions from premises such as ''If P then Q'' and ''Either P or Q''. His treatment of categorical syllogisms is one of the first to recognise logically productive pairs of premises by using ''conditions of productivity'', a device that had appeared in the Greek Philoponus in 6th century Alexandria.

Alexander Of Aphrodisias: On Aristotle Topics 2

38,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Aristotle''s Topics is a handbook for dialectic, which can be understood as a philosophical debate between a questioner and a respondent. In book 2, Aristotle mainly develops strategies for making deductions about ''accidents'', which are properties that might or might not belong to a subject (for instance, Socrates has five fingers, but might have had six), and about properties that simply belong to a subject without further specification. In the present commentary, here translated into English for the first time, Alexander develops a careful study of Aristotle''s text. He preserves objections and replies from other philosophers whose work is now lost, such as the Stoics. He also offers an invaluable picture of the tradition of Aristotelian logic down to his time, including innovative attempts to unify Aristotle''s guidance for dialectic with his general theory of deductive argument (the syllogism), found in the Analytics. The work will be of interest not only for its perspective on ancient logic, rhetoric, and debate, but also for its continuing influence on argument in the Middle Ages and later.

Iamblichus: On The General Science Of Mathematics

38,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 On the General Science of Mathematics is the third of four surviving works out of ten by Iamblichus (c. 245 CE-early 320s) on the Pythagoreans. He thought the Pythagoreans had treated mathematics as essential for drawing the human soul upwards to higher realms described by Plato, and downwards to understand the physical cosmos, the products of arts and crafts and the order required for an ethical life. His Pythagorean treatises use edited quotation to re-tell the history of philosophy, presenting Plato and Aristotle as passing on the ideas invented by Pythagoras and his early followers. Although his quotations tend to come instead from Plato and later Pythagoreanising Platonists, this re-interpretation had a huge impact on the Neoplatonist commentators in Athens. Iamblichus'' cleverness, if not to the same extent his re-interpretation, was appreciated by the commentators in Alexandria.

Ammonius: Interpretation Of Porphyry S Introduction To Aristotle S Five Terms

de Michael Chase

39,34€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 One of his six introductions to philosophy, widely used by students in Alexandria, Ammonius'' lecture on Porphyry was recorded in writing by his students in the commentary translated here. Along with five other types of introductions (three of which are translated in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle volume Elias and David: Introductions to Philosophy with Olympiodorus: Introduction to Logic) it made Greek philosophy more accessible to other cultures. These introductions became standard in Ammonius'' school and included a popular set of five or more definitions of philosophy, some of them drawn from commentaries on quite different works. Ammonius'' lecture expounded the most celebrated and discussed previous introduction written by Porphyry 200 years earlier, which was devoted to five main technical terms of Aristotle''s logic. Ammonius was sympathetic to Porphyry because they both sought to harmonise the views of Plato and Aristotle with each other, arguing in different ways that the two philosophers did not disagree about the nature of universals. Porphyry''s introduction was a hugely influential work for centuries after its composition, and this commentary by Ammonius served to maintain its position at the centre of later schools of philosophy. This English translation of Ammonius'' work is the latest volume in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series and makes this philosophical work accessible to a modern readership. The translation is accompanied by an introduction, comprehensive commentary notes, bibliography, glossary of translated terms and a subject index.
