Cicero’s Topics and Its Peripatetic Sources
Cicero claims in his introduction that in his library at Tusculum were “certain Topics of Aristotle” in several volumes, which his friend Trebatius came upon while working in that library. Cicero’s Topics is clearly not a work of pure invention, and if, as he says, he had no books with him when he wrote it, he must have used his well-stocked memory. In Cicero the distinction between notatio and coniugatio is not clear. Martianus describes both an…
The Controversia between Dicaearchus and Theophrastus about the Best Life
Much has been made of one small passage, a passing reference in one of Cicero’s letters: people are constantly told of the well-known dispute between Dicaearchus and Theophrastus, and several attempts have been made to amplify the story in different directions: even the sober Regenbogen refers to the Streit between Theophrastus and Dicaearchus and says that it was famous in ancient times. Fortenbaugh and Donini interestingly relate it to views ab…
Elementary Logic in the Ancient World
In the ancient world most educated people, including medical men and lawyers, studied some elementary logic. The formal study began in Plato's Academy, and can be traced through to Boethius, and so into the Middle Ages. Many works seem to have been written to be memorized by students. Evidence comes, among others, from Aristotle, Apuleius, and Galen, and from a variety of anonymous sources, including some papyri. The views of the Peripatetics and…
Theophrastus and Recent Scholarship
Theophrastus of Eresus
As part of Project Theophrastus this volume covers the material related to Theophrastus’ work on logic. As Aristotle’s pupil, he largely followed his master, but made important changes in modal logic, and some of his innovations passed into medieval logic.
An Excerpt from Boethus of Sidon's Commentary on the Categories
Theodore Waitz, in the section of his introduction to Aristotle's Organon called De Codicibus graecis organi , prints a number of passages found in various manuscripts, which are not to be treated simply as scholia on Aristotle, but are still of some interest to the student of Aristotle's logic. In this paper I am concerned with three leaves, fos. 84–6, from Laurentianus 71, 32, a fourteenth-century manuscript containing paraphrases of several wo…
Epicurus' attitude to Democritus
It has been widely, though not universally, held that Epicurus had a pathological unwillingness to admit that he was indebted to any teacher or predecessor, and that this extended even to Democritus, from whom he had taken the greater part of his own physical theory.' The evidence is, however, flimsy, and I hope to show that it can be explained better on the supposition that Epicurus departed from Democritus' views on one or two specific points, …
An Introduction to Greek Ethics
The Ancestor of the Arabic Translation of the De Generatione Animalium of Aristotle
The Arabic translation of the De Gen. Anim. , made at the beginning of the ninth century by Yahyā ibn al-Bitrīq from a Syriac version, contains seven long omissions, noted by Drossaart Lulofs in his edition. Six of these represent approximately 110 letters or a multiple thereof in the Greek: 728 b 33–729 a 2 (226, or 224 with Z), 761 a 9–25 (658, or 661 with Z), 762 a 6–8 (112, or 106 with Z), 762 b 34–763 a 2 (107, or 101 with Z), 768 a 18–20 (1…

Aristotle, De Insomniis 462 a 18
The interpretation of these words is important for understanding the meaning of in Aristotle. For here, exceptionally, it has been taken to refer to sense-perceptions rather than images. I quote the Oxford translation of 462a15–24 (by J. I. Beare): ‘From all this, then, the conclusion to be drawn is that the dream is a sort of presentation ( ), and, more particularly, one which occurs in sleep; since the phantoms just mentioned are not dreams, no…

An Epicurean Argument in Cicero, De Fato XVII-40
The De Fato is an unsatisfactory work, not only because it has come down to us incomplete, but also because Cicero wrote it in a perfunctory way, at a time when he was again thinking of taking an active part in politics after the death of Julius Caesar. It is sometimes possible, however, to see what has gone wrong, and I believe this can be done at XVII-40, and that we have here an argument used by Epicurus. At 39, Cicero distinguished two opinio…

A Link between Two Manuscripts of Aristotle's De Partibus Animalium
The value and date of Vaticanus graecus 1339 (Bekker's P), which contains many of the works of Aristotle, have been much disputed. Here I want only to argue that at the beginning of the De Partibus Animalium , the first work it contains, it is closely related to Parisinus graecus 1853 (Bekker's E), the great tenth-century manuscript which is one of our major authorities for many of Aristotle's writings

The Menexenus Reconsidered
K R. POPPER 1 has recently brought the Menexenus into prominence by seeing in it an important clue to Plato's political philosophy. He agrees with most modern writers who accept it as genuine in regarding it as satirical throughout 2, and ignores the evidence of ancient authors who without exception took the speech at least perfectly seriously. This unanimity on the part of the ancients has been a considerable stumbling-block to those moderns who…

The Date of Aristotle's Topigs and its Treatment of the Theory of Ideas
It is generally agreed that the Topics is one of Aristotle's earliest works. But after saying this most writers are unwilling to commit themselves any further and discuss the work, if they discuss it at all, with a vagueness about dating that leads them to do it less than justice. Part of the difficulty, no doubt, lies in the fact that the Topics consists of a central, early, core, surrounded by later additions, and cannot therefore be dealt with…
