Abstract

"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.

Abstract

The commentary of Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle's Prior Analytics 1.8-22 is the main ancient commentary, by the 'greatest' commentator, on the chapters of the Prior Analytics in which Aristotle invented modal logic - the logic of propositions about what is necessary or contingent (possible). In this volume, which covers chapters 1.8-13, Alexander of Aphrodisias reaches the chapter in which Aristotle discusses the notion of contingency. Also included in this volume is Alexander's commentary on that part of Prior Analytics 1.17 which explains the conversion of contingent propositions (the rest of 1.17 is included in the second volume of Mueller's translation). In the second volume, the 'greatest' commentator, Alexander, concludes his discussion of Aristotle's modal logic. In the second half of book 1 of the Prior Analytics, Aristotle reflects on the application of the formalized logic he has developed in the first half, focusing particularly on the non-modal or assertoric syllogistic developed in the first seven chapters. The last 14 chapters of book 1 of Aristotle's "Prior Analytics" are concerned with the representation in the formal language of syllogistic of propositions and arguments expressed in more or less everyday Greek. In his commentary on those chapters, "Alexander of Aphrodisias" explains some of Aristotle's more opaque assertions and discusses post-Aristotelian ideas in semantics and the philosophy of language. In doing so he provides an unusual insight into the way in which these disciplines developed in the Hellenistic era. He also shows a more sophisticated understanding of these fields than Aristotle himself, while remaining a staunch defender of Aristotle's emphasis on meaning as opposed to Stoics concern with verbal formulation. In his commentary on the final chapter of book 1 Alexander offers a thorough discussion of Aristotle's distinction between denying that something is, for example, white and asserting that it is non-white.

Études sur la Republique de Platon, vol. 2 : De la science, du bien et des mythes

Abstract

« Même si elle tient à la fois de la poésie et du sermon, la République est avant tout un livre de philosophie. » Et Nettleship, un de ses plus grands interprètes, énonçait en conséquence ce principe de lecture : il faut voir comment Platon arrive à ses conclusions avant de commencer à les critiquer. Pour les critiques, elles n’ont jamais manqué, que ce soit envers la nature utopique ou totalitaire qu’on reconnaît à l’œuvre, ou à l’égard de thèses métaphysiques ou politiques jugées exorbitantes, tel ce mystérieux « bien par delà l’essence » ou celle du gouvernement des philosophes. Ce second volume a pour objet les principes dégagés par les livres centraux, fondements nécessaires des conséquences psychologiques et politiques tirées dans les autres livres. La définition du philosophe authenthique, seul apte à saisir le Bien par la science qui lui est propre, permet de constituer en paroles une cité ayant pour modèle l’Idée même de justice et de définir comme une conversion totale de l’âme l’éducation de ceux qui sont destinés à la garder et à la gouverner. Enfin, si c’est dans la République que la plus haute science, la dialectique, se trouve déterminée par le fait de n’avoir pas recours à des images, l’œuvre abonde en comparaisons, allégories, analogies et mythes en tous genres. Nouer ainsi la science au mythe, c’est sans doute aussi réfléchir à une des manières dont la philosophie doit pénétrer la politique.
