  • Colourful Planets

    Open AccessMarije MartijnARTICLEMnemosyne2022References: 7

    In the Myth of Er, Plato describes the ‘Spindle of Necessity’, a contraption presenting the cosmos as guided by Sirens and Fates, and ascribes different colours to the planets ( Rep. 616e-617a). This paper argues that Plato probably used astronomical data for that passage, but possibly gave them a metaphorical sense, and discusses the likelihood of his having used Mesopotamian sources. The second half of the paper studies receptions of and allusi…

  • All from One

    Marije Martijn, Pieter d' Hoine et al.BOOKAll from One2016

    Proclus (412-485 A.D.) was one of the last great philosophers of Antiquity. His legacy in the cultural history of the west can hardly be overestimated. This work is the most comprehensive guide to Proclus' life, thought and legacy that is currently available.

  • The axiomatic method, the order of concepts and the hierarchy of sciences

    Open AccessArianna Betti, Willem Remmelt de Jong et al.ARTICLESynthese2011References: 1

    This special issue of Synthese ‘The Classical Model of Science II: The axiomatic method, the order of concepts and the hierarchy of sciences’ follows up on the previous ‘The ClassicalModel of Science I: Amillennia-oldmodel of scientific rationality’. Both issues centre on the role, the significance and the impact of the axiomatic ideal of scientific knowledge in the history of philosophy. The first issue focuses on the relation between axiomatics…

  • Interpreting Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics in Late Antiquity and Beyond

    F A J de Haas, Mariska Leunissen et al.BOOKInterpreting Aristotle's…2010

    This collection of essays highlights Ancient, Byzantine and Medieval developments in the discussion of scientific method and argument in the comment(arie)s on Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics and related methodological passages in the Aristotelian corpus. Despite the importance of these discussions, the larger part of the commentary tradition on the Posterior Analytics still remains uncharted. The contributors to this volume identify and explore t…

  • Proclus on Nature

    Marije MartijnBOOKProclus on nature2010

    This study presents a revision of Proclus’ natural philosophy, starting from the Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus. It provides new insight into Proclus' metaphysics of nature, his surprisingly peripatetic philosophy of science, the role of mathematics, and the nature of discourse.

  • Proclus on the order of philosophy of nature

    Open AccessMarije MartijnARTICLESynthese2010References: 9

    In this paper I show that Proclus is an adherent of the Classical Model of Science as set out elsewhere in this issue (de Jong and Betti 2008), and that he adjusts certain conditions of the Model to his Neoplatonic epistemology and metaphysics. In order to show this, I develop a case study concerning philosophy of nature, which, despite its unstable subject matter, Proclus considers to be a science. To give this science a firm foundation Proclus …

  • Proclus on Nature. Philosophy of Nature and Its Methods in Proclus' Commentary on Plato's Timaeus

    Marije MartijnARTICLEMnemosyne2009Cited by: 1

    One of the hardest questions to answer for a (Neo)platonist is to what extent and how the changing and unreliable world of sense perception can itself be an object of scientific knowledge. My dissertation is a study of the answer given to that question by the Neoplatonist Proclus (Athens, 411-485) in his Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus. I present a new explanation of Proclus’ concept of nature and show that philosophy of nature consists of several …
