  • Aristotelismus Zentrum Berlin
    The ancient commentators on Aristotle are deeply involved in the transmission and exegesis of the Aristotelian text. They presented not only well-informed and mature interpretations of the Aristote- lian treatises but also had a huge impact on the text transmission itself. Thus, the relationship between the school treatises of Aristotle and his ancient commentators become crucial. To describe these pro- cesses as transformations or deformations that did nothing else but lead away from the original text and its “original” meaning has in the past decades turned out to be inadequate. Rather, it is ne- cessary to look for more differentiated descriptions. In this regard the conference suggests a concept of transfer as a tool. Transfer is a concept that implies reciprocity. We examine the thesis that the creation of knowledge takes place when an Aristotelian text or an Aristotelian concept or argument is transferred in a new context. Text and context then influence each other mutually. As a result we can distinguish between different kinds of differentiation, en- hancement, widening or reducing of scope, simplification, recon- textualization. The conference “Aristotle transferred. The Ancient Greek Commen- taries on Aristotle and the Transfer of Knowledge” discusses the option to describe the commentaries as forms of transfer. Experts in the Aristotelian tradition analyze the commentaries of the most prominent and influential ancient commentators from Alexander of Aphrodisias to Olympiodorus the Younger. Special emphasis is laid on the relationship between different com- mentators, the teacher and his pupils, on the institutional and cul- tural contexts of the commentaries, and the forms and methods of text transmission and exegesis.

  • Christians, Gnostics and Platonists: an Overview of the Ethos of Late Antiquity
    NORTH-WEST UNIVERSITY (POTCHEFSTROOM CAMPUS) in association with Greenwich School of Theology UK Christians, Gnostics and Platonists: An overview of the ethos of late antiquity by Theodore Sabo BTh, MMin #21768404 Dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Theology at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University Supervisor: F Z Kovács Co-Supervisor: P H Fick November 2010 ABSTRACT Christians, Gnostics, and Platonists attempts to characterize the ethos of late antiquity (100-500 CE) as one that despised matter and the body. It operates within the assumption that there are four criteria which establish this characterization, namely an emphasis on the evil of life, a distrust of the sociopolitical world, asceticism, and an interest in the supernatural. These four criteria are evident in the Platonists, Christians, and Gnostics of the period. As Chapter Two reveals the dissertation understands the concept of ethos in the context of R. C. Trench’s discussion of aiōn: “all the thoughts, opinions, maxims, speculations, impulses, and aspirations present in the world at any given time.” In Chapter Three Plato and the Middle Platonists are viewed as bequeathing to late antiquity its world-denying philosophy which the Gnostics preached more incessantly than the Platonists and the Christians practiced more conscientiously than the Gnostics. The Neoplatonists were the Platonists of late antiquity. In the writings of such figures as Plotinus and Porphyry the hatred of matter and the body is boldly expressed, and it is only slightly less apparent in later philosophers like Iamblichus and Proclus. In Plotinus we discern a profound distrust of the sociopolitical world and in Proclus a thoroughgoing asceticism paired with an interest in the supernatural.

  • Transmutation Theory in the Greek Alchemical Corpus
    Transmutation Theory in the Greek Alchemical Corpus Olivier Dufault Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München, Germany This paper defines the nature and extent of transmutation theory in the Greek alchemical corpus as found in the texts attributed to Zosimus of Panopolis, “the philosopher Synesius,” and “the philosopher Olympiodorus of Alexandria.”1 By transmutation theory, I understand all explicit attempts made by Greek alchemical writers to explain how one substance can be entirely transformed into another. Greek alchemical texts, however, discussed “aurifiction” (gilding, colouring recipes) much more often than they did “aurifaction” (gold-making proper, transmutation). But even in the case when alchemical texts explicitly discussed an alchemical theory of transmutation, or at least of colouring, they are remarkably ambiguous so that any modern theoretical demarcation between aurifiction and aurifaction is practically impossible to achieve. Ekstrophē (ἐκ-, στρέφω) and its cognates are among the most common expressions used to describe processes of transformation, whether understood as superficial colouring or as complete transmutation. These words (strephō, ekstrephō, strophē, ekstrophē) literally mean a “turning” (strophē) or more specifically an “inversion” (ekstrophē), but they were also commonly used to mean a transformation. The problem is not simply that this term could refer to a surface transformation (colouring) as well as to a complete transformation (transmutation). Through the 1 While Synesius “the alchemist” was probably not the well-known Synesius of Cyrene (see Matteo Martelli, The Four Books of Pseudo-Democritus, in Sources of Alchemy and Chemistry 1, 2013], 48-56), it is harder to say if the attribution of the alchemical text attributed to Synesius was an attempt to ascribe the work to Synesius of Cyrene.

  • An Athenian Commentary on Plato's Republic: Poetry, Science and Textual Engagement in Proclus' in Rem
    An Athenian Commentary on Plato's Republic: Poetry, science and textual engagement in Proclus' In Rem. by David Blair Pass A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Anthony Long, Chair Professor G.R.F. Ferrari, Chair Professor Leslie Kurke Professor Kinch Hoekstra Spring 2013 Abstract An Athenian Commentary on Plato's Republic: Poetry, science and textual engagement in Proclus' In Rem. by David Blair Pass Doctor of Philosophy in Classics University of California, Berkeley Professor Anthony Long, Chair Professor G.R.F. Ferrari, Chair Proclus’ Commentary on Plato’s Republic is the only extant ancient Greek commentary on Plato’s Republic. Despite the fact that it includes discussions of most of the major parts of the book, it has received very little scholarly attention. This dissertation introduces the work in its entirety and tries to identify some of the most important contributions it can make to philosophical and philological scholarship on the Republic. I am particularly attentive to ways in which Proclus’ concerns—such as responding to Epicurean critiques of Platonic myth or defending Homer—may help us see Plato’s work in its cultural context. The first chapter focuses on introducing the work and answering basic questions about the place of the Republic in late antique Platonism, the extent of Proclus’ sources and what portions of the Republic Proclus discusses. I consider the form of the commentary, arranged as various essays, in comparison with Proclus’ other commentaries which proceed in a line by line manner.

  • Is Suicide a Crime?
    Suicide is unlawful, for every affliction is a karmic necessity Is suicide a crime v. 13.11, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 12 January 2018 Page 1 of 19 CONSTITUTION OF MAN SERIES IS SUICIDE A CRIME? When the truly worthy man is placed in difficult circumstances, yet not of such a magnitude as to prevent him from energizing intellectually, in this case it is not lawful for him to com- mit suicide; for the affliction is from Divinity, and is analogous to the castigation of a son by his father. For, according to the Platonic philosophy, everything afflictive in life either exer- cises, or corrects, or punishes. And the most worthy men sometimes require for the health of their souls, severe endurance, in the same manner as the most athletic require great ex- ercise for the health of their bodies. — Thomas Taylor Contents and train of thoughts Olympiodorus the Younger on Suicide On Suicide I, ix 5 He who expels the soul from the body is not liberated from passion, but is under the influence of some torment, pain, or anger. 5 On Ennead I, ix 6 Suicide is unlawful, when committed for the sake of the body, but rational, when committed for the sake of the soul. 7 The reasons for suicide are likened to five circumstances when a banquet may be dissolved. 8 Thomas Taylor on Suicide Note 1 on Phaedo, line 61c 10 Suicide is not lawful because our body is Dionysiacal: for we are a part of Bacchus, if we are composed from the ashes of the Titans who tasted his flesh.
