Late Antiquity
This survey offers a comprehensive overview of recent scholarship on Late Antique philosophy, with particular attention to developments in Plotinian studies, early and late Neoplatonism, and the philosophical interactions between pagan and Christian authors
Ontology in Early Neoplatonism
Neoplatonists from Plotinus onward incorporate Aristotle’s logic and ontology into their philosophies: this process is of both intrinsic and historical interest and paves the way for subsequent philosophical debates in the Middle Ages and beyond. The ten essays collected in this book focus on the readings of Aristotle by Plotinus, Porphyry, and Iamblichus in the 3rd and 4th centuries. Their discussions cover key issues in the history of logic and…
Boéthos de Sidon – Exégète d’Aristote et philosophe
This study contains the first collection of preserved fragments, in Greek and Arabic, of the peripatetic philosopher Boethus of Sidon (first century BC) along with their French translation and an exhaustive commentary. This book is an indispensable work for readers interested in the history of Aristotelianism, and more generally, in Greek philosophy as a whole. Cet ouvrage contient la première collection des fragments conservés, en grec et en ara…

Plotinus on Memory, Recollection and Discursive Thought
Galen and Middle Platonists on Dialectic and Knowledge
Three senses of ‘dialectic’ can be discerned in Galen's works (section 10.1): (1) Dialectic as logic, i.e., analysis and techniques of arguments. (2) Dialectic as a part of logic that focuses on certain kinds of arguments characterized by the status of their premisses, which are different from scientific ones. (3) Dialectic as the analysis of names or words and their meanings in ordinary language. Galen’s account of logic and dialectic presents s…
Plotino e il dualismo nell’interpretazione di Ugo Bianchi
This paper focuses on Ugo Bianchi’s reading of Plotinus as a representative of the category of “dualism”. Plotinus’ polemics against the Gnostic rejection of the physical world notwithstanding, Bianchi emphasises that dualist features are typical of Plotinus’ views about principles, the soul and derivation. Therefore, Plotinus can be set in parallel with the Gnostics, despite his overt criticism of them. In this article, Bianchi’s reading is plac…
Plutarch of Athens
Plutarch of Athens (d. 432 ce ) was a Neoplatonic philosopher active in the late fourth and the early fifth century ce . He was head of the Platonic school in Athens, which flourished until 529 ce . Among his students were the Neoplatonic philosophers Syrianus, Hierocles of Alexandria, and Proclus. Plutarch's works are lost. Fragments from his commentary on Aristotle's On the soul have been preserved by later Neoplatonic exegetes. He also wrote c…
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…
Plotinus' account of demiurgic causation and its philosophical background
Plotinus’ account of the sensible world is based on two assumptions: 1. The sensible cosmos is rationally ordered, and its order depends on the activity of a prior cause. 2. This order does not reflect any rational design on the part of the cause, since the cause has no reasoning or calculation in it. Plotinus therefore rejects intelligent design theology, while at the same time maintaining that our world has an ordered structure, which is the ef…
Tommaso Campanella e l'eternità del mondo
Il presente studio prende in esame la discussione dell’eternità del mondo in Tommaso Campanella dalla Philosophia sensibus demonstrata, pubblicata nel 1591 a difesa di Telesio contro le critiche dell’aristotelico Giacomo Antonio Marta, alla Metaphysica, scritta da Campanella in varie redazioni e finalmente pubblicata a Parigi nel 1638. La posizione di Campanella presenta alcuni notevoli aspetti costanti lungo tutto il corso della sua attività, in…
Platonist approaches to Aristotle
Plotinus’ Account of the Cognitive Powers of the Soul
Galen and Middle Platonism
L'articolo si concentra sulla ricezione di Platone e della filosofia platonica in Galeno. Sicuramente Platone fu l’autorità filosofia più importante per Galeno e Galeno fu pienamente consapevole dei dibattiti filosofici della sua epoca. Tuttavia, Galeno non può essere considerato come un filosofo “platonico” e la sua posizione fu notevolmente diversa da quella di autori come Plutarco, Attico o Alcinoo. L’articolo considera la ricezione in Galeno …
Physics and Philosophy of Nature in Greek Neoplatonism
"Traditional scholarship has generally neglected the philosophy of nature in Greek Neoplatonism. In the last few decades, however, this attitude has changed radically. Natural philosophy has increasingly been regarded as a crucial aspect of late antique thought. Furthermore, several studies have outlined the impressive historical legacy of Neoplatonic physics. Building on this new interest, the ten papers published here concentrate on Neoplatonic…
Plotin, la mémoire et la connaissance des intelligibles
Plotin discute à plusieurs reprises de la mémoire, de sa fonction et de son rôle dans la connaissance. Dans la longue section qui va de IV 3 [27], 25 à IV 4 [28], 5, il s’interroge sur « ce qui » se remémore, c’est-à-dire sur le sujet de la mémoire. L’examen de ces chapitres permet de recueillir quelques éléments caractéristiques de la théorie plotinienne de la connaissance. Plotin fait une rigoureuse distinction entre la mémoire et la simple con…
