  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…

  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 …

  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…

• Did the Stoics Value Emotion and Feeling

  Richard Sorabji•ARTICLE•The Philosophical Quarterly•2009

  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…

  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 …

  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…

In support of this argument, Sorabji engages in a wi…

  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 …

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…
