Abstract

This book, translated from the French, offers a synthesis of modern research devoted to Simplicius’s life and to three of his five commentaries : On Epictetus’Handbook, On Aristotle’s De anima, On Aristotle’s Categories. Its biographical part brings to light the historical role played by this Neoplatonic philosopher. Born in Cilicia, Asia Minor, he studied in Alexandria and Athens and apparently ended his life teaching in Syria on the frontier between the Byzantine and Sassanide Empires.His role was that of a mediator between the Greco-Roman world and philosophy and Syriac philosophy, which would feed Arabic philosophy at its beginning.The second part of the book, devoted to doctrinal and authorship issues, also deals with the underlying pedagogical curriculum and methods proper to Neoplatonic commentaries, which modern interpretation all too often tends to neglect in studies on Simplicius and other Neoplatonists.

Abstract

"Le présent livre est une synthèse des recherches contemporaines sur la vie de Simplicius et sur trois de ses cinq commentaires (sur le Manuel d'Épictète, le De anima et les Catégories d'Aristote). La partie biographique de l'ouvrage met en évidence le rôle historique de ce philosophe néoplatonicien, originaire de la province de Cilicie en Asie Mineure, ayant étudié à Alexandrie et à Athènes et fini sa vie comme enseignant, selon toute vraisemblance, en Syrie à proximité de la frontière perse. Le rôle de Simplicius dans l'histoire de la pensée est celui d'un médiateur entre la philosophie gréco-romaine et celle en langue syriaque, laquelle à son tour irriguera la philosophie arabe à ses débuts. La seconde partie du livre est consacrée à des questions dogmatiques et d'authenticité; son but est de faire ressortir le programme pédagogique et les méthodes propres aux commentateurs néoplatoniciens, facteurs trop souvent négligés par les interprètes modernes."-- p. [4] of cover.

Abstract

Ce livre explore la méthode et l'interprétation du Sophiste par Simplicius, en tant qu'elles illustrent l'exégèse néoplatonicienne tardive et entraînent une restauration de la lettre du texte. À partir d'un corpus issu des commentaires (largement inédit en français), Marc-Antoine Gavray reconstruit la lecture de Simplicius et la met en regard avec celles de Plotin, de Proclus et de Damascius. Il en ressort une exégèse attentive, digne d'accompagner le lecteur moderne dans sa compréhension de Platon.

Abstract

The Enchiridion or Handbook of the first-century AD Stoic Epictetus was used as an ethical treatise both in Christian monasteries and by the sixth-century pagan Neoplatonist Simplicius. Simplicius chose it for beginners, rather than Aristotle's Ethics, because it presupposed no knowledge of logic. We thus get a fascinating chance to see how a pagan Neoplatonist transformed Stoic ideas. The text was relevant to Simplicius because he too, like Epictetus, was teaching beginners how to take the first steps towards eradicating emotion, although he is unlike Epictetus in thinking that they should give up public life rather than acquiesce, if public office is denied them. Simplicius starts from a Platonic definition of the person as rational soul, not body, ignoring Epictetus' further whittling down of himself to just his will or policy decisions. He selects certain topics for special attention in chapters 1, 8, 27 and 31. Things are up to us, despite Fate. Our sufferings are not evil, but providential attempts to turn us from the body. Evil is found only in the human soul. But evil is parasitic (Proclus' term) on good. The gods exist, are provident, and cannot be bought off.With nearly all of this the Stoics would agree, but for quite different reasons, and their own distinctions and definitions are to a large extent ignored. This translation of the Handbook is published in two volumes.

Abstract

Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's "Categories" falls into two parts. First, it examines the six categories dealt with in chapter 9 of "Categories", namely acting, undergoing, being in a position, when, where, and having. Secondly, it examines the so-called "Postpraedicamenta" consisting of chapter 10-15, which treat four kinds of opposition (relatives, contraries, possession, and privation, affirmation and negation), along with priority, simultaneity, movement and (again) having.
