In Ennead II.1 (40) Plotinus is primarily concerned to argue for the everlastingness of the universe, the heavens, and the heavenly bodies as individual substances. Here he must grapple both with the philosophical issue of personal identity through time and with the rich tradition of cosmology which pitted the Platonists against the Aristotelians and Stoics. What results is a historically informed cosmological sketch explaining the constitution of the heavens as well as sublunar and celestial motion. This book contains an extensive introduction aimed at providing the necessary background in Platonic, Aristotelian, and Stoic cosmology, the text itself, and a line-by-line commentary designed to elucidate its philosophical, philological and historical details.

"Aristotle believed that the outermost stars are carried round us on a transparent sphere. There are directions in the universe and a preferred direction of rotation. The sun moon and planets are carried on different revolving spheres. The spheres and celestial bodies are composed of an everlasting fifth element, which has none of the ordinary contrary properties like heat and cold which could destroy it, but only the facility for uniform rotation. But this creates problems as to how the heavenly bodies create light, and, in the case of the sun, heat. The topics covered in this part of Simplicius' commentary are the speeds and distances of the stars; that the stars are spherical; why the sun and moon have fewer motions than the other five planets; why the sphere of the fixed stars contains so many stars whereas the other heavenly spheres contain no more than one (Simplicius has a long excursus on planetary theory in his commentary on this chapter); discussion of people's views on the position, motion or rest, shape, and size of the earth; that the earth is a relatively small sphere at rest in the centre of the cosmos."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Senecas Prosawerke als Schriften eines Stoikers zu erschließen und in den Kontext des stoischen Systems zu stellen - diese Aufgabe unternimmt Jula Wildberger mit der seit langer Zeit ersten detaillierten und ausführlichen Gesamt- und Neuinterpretation der stoischen Physik. In einer thematisch strukturierten Rekonstruktion beschreibt sie den stoischen Kosmos erstmals konsequent als ein Gebilde aus zwei dreidimensionalen Körpern und interpretiert vor allem die Mischungs- und Elementlehre sowie die Ontologie neu, während die Neusichtung der Quellen an anderen Stellen zu Präzisierungen und Ergänzungen führt. Behandelt werden neben diesen Themen der Physik und Kosmologie auch zahlreiche andere Bereiche der stoischen Philosophie: Logik, Sprachphilosophie, Theologie, Theodizee, Determinismus und Handlungsfreiheit. Jula Wildberger analysiert bei Seneca aufgespürte Theoriestücke und ordnet sie in die Gesamtrekonstruktion ein. Sie weist nach, dass Seneca trotz eigener Schwerpunkte im Rahmen der Orthodoxie mit oft überraschender theoretischer Tiefe operiert. Fehlt eine Communis opinio, entwickelt er differenzierte, eigenständige Antworten. Auch findet man neue, vorher nicht belegte Beiträge. Der monographische Haupttext kann auch als Einführung gelesen werden. Register, Querverweise und Anmerkungen mit ausführlichen Quellenzitaten und bibliographischen Hinweisen erlauben die Benutzung als Handbuch und Nachschlagewerk.
