Al-Farabi, Syllogism
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 12…
Elias and David
The three ancient philosophical introductions translated in this volume flesh out our picture of what it would have been like to sit in a first-year Philosophy course in ancient Alexandria. Ammonius (AD 445-517/26) set up a new teaching programme in Alexandria with up to six introductions to the philosophy curriculum, which made it far more accessible, and encouraged its spread from Greek to other cultures. This volume's three introductory texts …

Aristotle Re-Interpreted
This volume presents collected essays – some brand new, some republished, and others newly translated – on the ancient commentators on Aristotle and showcases the leading research of the last three decades. Through the work and scholarship inspired by Richard Sorabji in his series of translations of the commentators started in the 1980s, these ancient texts have become a key field within ancient philosophy. Building on the strength of the series,…

Causation and Creation in Late Antiquity
Written by a group of leading scholars, this unique collection of essays investigates the views of both pagan and Christian philosophers on causation and the creation of the cosmos. Structured in two parts, the volume first looks at divine agency and how late antique thinkers, including the Stoics, Plotinus, Porphyry, Simplicius, Philoponus and Gregory of Nyssa, tackled questions such as: is the cosmos eternal? Did it come from nothing or from so…

Tribute to Bob Sharples
Bob Sharples joined me in London in a different college in 1973, and we worked closely together for 37 years until his untimely death at the age of 61. Our collaboration included innumerable research seminars, many teaching classes and publications and a very good number of conferences, with an emphasis on post-Aristotelian Philosophy. He became one of the world's leading experts on the school of Aristotle and the leading scholar in the English-s…
Episteme, etc
"The sixteen essays written in honour of Jonathan Barnes for this volume reflect the impressive scope of his contributions to philosophy. Six are on knowledge, five on logic and metaphysics, five on ethics. The volume ranges widely over ancient philosophy, while also finding room for for two contemporary papers on truth and vagueness. Aristotle is prominent in eight of the essays; Plato, Sextus Empiricus, the Stoics, the Epicureans, and ancient G…
Did the Stoics Value Emotion and Feeling
The Stoics thought that the emotions (pathê) of all ordinary people included mistaken evaluations and should therefore be eradicated. If there were any truly wise people, they would have good emotions (eupatheiai). These good emotions would include no mistaken evaluations and so could be approved. But it is not clear that wisdom is more than an ideal not yet attained. For the rest of us what is needed is freedom from emotion (apatheia). This is t…

Epictetus on Proairesis and Self
According to Epictetus, we are our proairesis (will or rational decision). This is a striking view of the self, but we need to recognize that there are two senses of proairesis and two senses of self not previously distinguished. Otherwise, we shall find statements in Epictetus that appear to contradict his bold claim. Once we have got clear on this, we can see that even though Epictetus revived Aristotle's choice of proairesis as a central term …

Aristotle, Mathematics, and Colour
Aristotle says in the De Sensu that other colours are produced through the mixture of black bodies with white (440 a 31– b 23). The obvious mixture for him to be referring to is the mixture of the four elements, earth, air, fire, and water, which he describes at such length in the De Generatione et Corruptione . All compound bodies are produced ultimately through the mixture of these elements. The way in which the elements mix is described in i. …

Body and Soul in Aristotle
Interpretations of Aristotle's account of the relation between body and soul have been widely divergent. At one extreme, Thomas Slakey has said that in the De Anima ‘Aristotle tries to explain perception simply as an event in the sense-organs’. Wallace Matson has generalized the point. Of the Greeks in general he says, ‘Mind–body identity was taken for granted.... Indeed, in the whole classical corpus there exists no denial of the view that sensi…

Necessity, Cause and Blame
"A discussion of Aristotle's thought on determinism and culpability, Necessity, Cause, and Blame also reveals Richard Sorabji's own philosophical commitments. He makes the original argument here that Aristotle separates the notions of necessity and cause, rejecting both the idea that all events are necessarily determined as well as the idea that a non-necessitated event must also be non-caused. In support of this argument, Sorabji engages in a wi…

Myths about non-propositional thought
G. E. L. Owen's papers tend not only to transform their professed subject matter, but also to spread illumination into quite distant regions. The present distant region is no exception, as the footnotes will reveal.
Necessity, Cause, and Blame
Time, Creation and the Continuum
Richard Sorabji here takes time as his central theme, exploring fundamental questions about its nature: Is it real or an aspect of consciousness? Did it begin along with the universe? Can anything escape from it? Does it come in atomic chunks? In addressing these and myriad other issues, Sorabji engages in an illuminating discussion of early thought about time, ranging from Plato and Aristotle to Islamic, Christian, and Jewish medieval thinkers. …

Perceptual Content in the Stoics
There is a view about animal phantasia in the Stoics which has the best possible credentials', and is likely to become an orthodoxy. And yet I hope that somehow it can be resisted, because if it is true, I believe the Stoics will be in deep trouble, while if it is false they will be in the clear. According to this view, animal phantasia is rudimentary. It is not propositional in form. Its closest analogue is perhaps Plato's account of the senses …
Philoponus and the Rejection of Aristotelian Science
From Aristotle to Brentano
A1ustotle ‘s On the Soul or De anima is probably the most variously interpreted of his works. Modern interpretations have disagreed chiefly on how Aristotle’s psychology stands in relation to Descartes.1 The ancient Neoplatonist commentators, in order to harmonize him with Plato, insisted on his belief in the immortality of the rational soul, and thereby unwittingly made Aristotle safe for Christianity. In this paper I want to take Aristotle’s th…

Intentionality and Physiological Processes
Aristotle did not view perception as a rudimentary reaction with little content as suggested by Plato, nor as the work of reason and thought as claimed by Strato. Perception is a half-way house between the two. This essay explores Aristotle’s redrawing of the map in which perception is located, and the formal and material causes of perception.

Rationality
I want to tell the story of the crisis produced in philosophy by a single claim about rationality: Aristotle‘s claim that animals lack it. And since belief (doxa) implies rationality, he denied them belief as well. But how, then, do animals cope with the world? To explain this, Aristotle had to expand the content of sense perception, which in Theaetetus 185-7 Plato had contracted to the mere registering of whiteness, sweetness, and other sensible…
