  John M Rist, John Μ Rist•ARTICLE•Annali di Scienze Religiose•2016

  The purpose of this paper is to ask why whereas in antiquity some thought of Dionysius as a heretic, no one considered him hardly a Christian at all – but that view has been quite prominent in recent times. The explanation is the attitude towards ‘authentic’ Christianity developed by the Protestants, who singled out Dionysius as more or less pagan – though in doing so neglecting the fact that his attitude to Greek philosophy is more or less the s…

  This paper raises two questions about O'Donovan's The Ways of Judgment, one political, the other ecclesial. In the first place I ask whether it is adequate to propose that the state, in the interest of the common good, should be simply reactive. And I then raise the question of whether, in any case, being reactive implies a positive stance. If so, then why must that positive stance not be positively promoted? The second question concerns the posi…

  A study of the relationship between Plotinus and Christian philosophy is far less than an investigation of the overall influence of Platonism on Christianity. It treats of the effect on Christianity of a particular Platonist philosopher of the third century a.d.: A task at once more manageable in scope and more difficult to identify precisely. For Platonism had influenced Christian philosophers before Plotinus (particularly Justin Martyr, Clement…

  When the theory of Forms was first developed by Plato, it was the final stage of a series of philosophical investigations which began with Socrates' search for definitions. The Form was regarded as a ‘one over many’ that is separate from particulars. It is by their participation in the perfect Form that the particulars derive their transitory existence. There is a Form, according to the Republic (596 a 5–7) corresponding to every set of things th…

  IN 1953, Mr. G. E. L. Owen1 published in the Classical Quarterly an article purporting to prove that the Timaeus ought, on various grounds, to be dated before the Theaetetus and the Parmenides and to approximately the same period of Plato's life as the Phaedrus. His most powerful motive for making this change was a desire to rid the later dialogues of the shadow of the Paradigms and to avoid the difficulties involved in the attempt to reconcile t…

  whereas G. P. Goold holds2 that it was written in the Augustan Age. Such a discrepancy is disturbing; two hundred and fifty to three hundred years is a wide margin of error.

It seems that some progress may be possible here, although the matter has been quickly passed over by both Grube3 and…

It seems probable that either Sextus or his source or both were unaware of the precise origin of many of the ideas they were dealing with. It is certain that in the last century B.C. and the early centuries A.D. there was a mass of writings in circulation which purported to be of earl…

  Of all the Aristotelian doctrines perhaps the most difficult is that concerning the Active and Passive Intellects which we find in the short fifth chapter of the third book of the De Anima. Interpretations of this chapter have been almost as numerous as interpreters, and it would be naive to expect at this stage to be definitive. Nevertheless it seems that progress has been delayed in many cases by a too casual approach to what Aristotle says in …
