On Aristotle "On the Heavens 1.10-12"
ISBN: 9780715632321 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Here is a battle royal between the Neoplatonist Simplicius and the Aristotelian Alexander on the origins, if any, of the universe. A parallel battle had already been conducted by Philoponus and Proclus, arguing that Plato's Timaeus gives a beginning to the universe. Simplicius denies this.

On Aristotle "Physics 7"
ISBN: 9780715624852 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There has recently been considerable renewed interest in Book 7 of the Physics of Aristotle, once regarded as merely an undeveloped forerunner to Book 8. The debate surrounding the importance of the text is not new to modern scholarship: for example, in the fourth century BC Eudemus, the Peripatetic philosopher associate of Aristotle, left it out of his treatment of the Physics. Now, for the first time, Charles Hagen's lucid translation gives the English reader access to Simplicius' commentary on Book 7, an indispensable tool for the understanding of the text. Its particular...

On Aristotle "Physics 2"
ISBN: 9780715627327 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Book 2 of the Physics is arguably the best introduction to Aristotle's ideas, as well as being the most interesting and representative book in the whole of his corpus. It defines nature and distinguishes natural science from mathematics. It introduces the seminal idea of four causes, or four modes of explanation. It defines chance, but rejects a theory of chance and natural selection in favour of purpose in nature.
Simplicius, writing in the sixth century AD, adds his own considerable contribution to this work. Seeing Aristotle's God as a Creator, he discusses how nature relates...

On Aristotle "Categories 7-8"
ISBN: 9780715630389 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Categories chapters 7 and 8 Aristotle considers his third and fourth categories - those of Relative and Quality. Critics of Aristotle had suggested for each of the non-substance categories that they could really be reduced to relatives, so it is important how the category of Relative is defined. Aristotle offers two definitions, and the second, stricter, one is often cited by his defenders in order to rule out objections. The second definition of relative involves the idea of something changing its relationship through a change undergone by its correlate, not by itself. There were...

On Aristotle "On Categories 9-15"
ISBN: 9780715629000 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Aristotle classified the things in the world into ten categories: substance, quantity, quality, relative, etc. Plotinus, the founder of Neoplatonism, attacked the classification, accepting only these first four categories, rejecting the other six, and adding one of this own: change. He preferred Plato's classification into five kinds which included change.
In this part of his commentary, Simplicius records the controversy on the six categories which Plotinus rejected: acting, being acted upon, being in a position, when, where, and having on. Plotinus' pupil and editor, Porphyry, defended...

On Aristotle "Categories 1-4"
ISBN: 9780715631973 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Categories is the most comprehensive philosophical critique of the work ever written, representing 600 years of criticism. In his Categories, Aristotle divides what exists in the sensible world into ten categories of Substance, Quantity, Relative, Quality and so on.. Simplicius starts with a survey of previous commentators, and an introductory set of questions about Aristotle's philosophy and about the Categories in particular. The commentator, he says, needs to present Plato and Aristotle as in harmony on most things. Why are precisely ten categories...

Corollaries of Place and Time
ISBN: 9780715622520 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is there such a thing as three-dimensional space? Is space inert or dynamic? Is the division of time into past, present and future real? Does the whole of time exist all at once? Does it progress smoothly or by discontinuous leaps?
Simplicius surveys ideas about place and time from the preceding thousand years of Greek Philosophy and reveals the extraordinary ingenuity of the late Neoplatonist theories, which he regards as marking a substantial advance on all previous ideas. Is there such a thing as three-dimensional space? Is space inert or dynamic? Is the division of time into past, present and future real? Does the whol...

On Aristotle "Physics 8.6-10"
ISBN: 9780715630396 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Aristotle's Physics is about the causes of motion and culminates in a proof that God is needed as the ultimate cause of motion. Aristotle argues that things in motion need to be moved by something other than themselves - he rejects Plato's self-movers. On pain of regress, there must be an unmoved mover. If this unmoved mover is to cause motion eternally, it needs infinite power. It cannot, then, be a body, since bodies, being of finite size, cannot house infinite power. The unmoved mover is therefore an incorporeal God.

On Aristotle "Physics 5-8"
ISBN: 9780715624937 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Paul Lettinck has restored a lost text of Philoponus by translating it for the first time from Arabic (only limited fragments have survived in the original Greek). The text, recovered from annotations in an Arabic translation of Aristotle, is an abridging paraphrase of Philoponus' commentary on Physics Books 5-7, with two final comments on Book 8.
The Simplicius text, which consists of his comments on Aristotle's treatment of the void in chapters 6-9 of Book 4 of the Physics, comes from Simplicius' huge commentary on Book 4.

On Aristotle "On the Soul 1 and 2, 1-4"
ISBN: 9780715626146 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The commentary attributed to Simplicius on Aristotle's On the Soul appears in this series in three volumes, of which this is the first. The translation provides the first opportunity for a wider readership to assess the disputed question of authorship. Is the work by Simplicius, or by his colleague Priscian, or by another commentator? In the second volume, Priscian's Paraphrase of Theophrastus on Sense Perception, which covers the same subject, will also be translated for comparison.
Whatever its authorship, the commentary is a major source for late Neoplatonist theories of... The commentary attributed to Simplicius on Aristotle's On the Soul appears in this series in three volumes, of which this is the first. The tra...

On Aristotle "Categories 5-6"
ISBN: 9780715630372 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Chapters 5 and 6 of Aristotle's "Categories" describe his first two categories, Substance and Quantity. It is usually taken that Plotinus attacked Aristotle's "Categories", but that Porphyry and Iamblichus restored it to the curriculum once and for all. Nonetheless, the introduction to this text stresses how much of the defence of Aristotle Porphyry was able to draw out of Plotinus' critical discussion. Simplicius' commentary is our most comprehensive account of the debate on the validity of Aristotle's "Categories". One subject discussed by Simplicius in these chapters is where the...

On Aristotle "Physics 5"
ISBN: 9780715627655 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Simplicius, the greatest surviving ancient authority on Aristotle's Physics, lived in the sixth century A. D. He produced detailed commentaries on several of Aristotle's works. Those on the Physics, which alone come to over 1,300 pages in the original Greek, preserve a centuries-old tradition of ancient scholarship on Aristotle.
In Physics Book 5 Aristotle lays down some of the principles of his dynamics and theory of change. What does not count as change: change of relation? The flux of time? There is no change of change, yet acceleration is recognised. Aristotle... Simplicius, the greatest surviving ancient authority on Aristotle's Physics, lived in the sixth century A. D.

On Epictetus "Handbook 27-53"
ISBN: 9780715630693 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

' Simplicius'] moral interpretation of Epictetus is preserved in the library of nations, as a classic book, most excellently adapted to direct the will, to purify the heart, and to confirm the understanding, by a just confidence in the nature both of God and man.'
Edward Gibbon 'This book, written by a ""pagan"" philosopher, makes the most Christian impression conceivable. The betrayal of all reality through morality is here present in its fullest splendour - pitiful psychology, the philosopher is reduced to a country parson. And Plato is to blame for all of...

On Aristotle "On the Soul 3.1-5"
ISBN: 9780715628966 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In On the Soul 3.1-5, Aristotle goes beyond the five sense to the general functions of sense perception, the imagination and the so-called active intellect, the of which was still a matter of controversy in the time of Thomas Aquinas.
In his commentary on Aristotle's text, 'Simplicius' insists that the intellect in question is not something transcendental but the human rational soul. He denies both Plotinus' view that a part of the soul has never descended from uninterrupted contemplation of the Platonic Forms, and Proclus' view that the soul cannot be changed in its substance...

Simplicius: On Aristotle Physics 3
ISBN: 9781472557353 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Aristotle's Physics Book 3 covers two subjects: the definition of change and the finitude of the universe. Change enters into the very definition of nature as an internal source of change. Change receives two definitions in chapters 1 and 2, as involving the actualisation of the potential or of the changeable. Alexander of Aphrodisias is reported as thinking that the second version is designed to show that Book 3, like Book 5, means to disqualify change in relations from being genuine change. Aristotle's successor Theophrastus, we are told, and Simplicius himself, prefer to admit... Aristotle's Physics Book 3 covers two subjects: the definition of change and the finitude of the universe.

ISBN: 9781472557926 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this volume Simplicius deals with Aristotle's account of the Presocratics, and for many of them he is our chief or even sole authority. He quotes at length from Melissus, Parmenides and Zeno, sometimes from their original works but also from later writers from Plato onwards, drawing particularly on Alexander's lost commentary on Aristotle's Physics and on Porphyry. Much of his approach is just scholarly, but in places he reveals his Neoplatonist affiliation and attempts to show the basic agreement among his predecessors in spite of their apparent...
