Myles Burnyeat (1939-2019) was a major figure in the study of ancient Greek philosophy during the last decades of the twentieth century and the first of this. After teaching positions in London and Cambridge, where he became Laurence Professor, in 1996 he took up a Senior Research Fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, from which he retired in 2006. In 2012 he published two volumes collecting essays dating from before the move to Oxford. Two new posthumously published volumes bring together essays from his years at All Souls and his retirement. The essays in Volume 4 are addressed principally to scholars engaging first with fundamental issues in Platonic and Aristotelian metaphysics and epistemology and in Aristotle's philosophical psychology. Then follow studies tackling problems in interpreting the approaches to physics and cosmology taken by Plato and Aristotle, and in assessing the evidence for early Greek exercises in optics.

In 2012 he published two volumes collecting essays dating from before the move to Oxford. Two new posthumously published volumes bring together essays from his years at All Souls and his retirement. The main body of Volume 3 presents studies written for a wide readership, first on Plato's Republic and then on the reading and interpretation of Plato in subsequent periods, particularly in nineteenth-century Britain. The volume also includes hitherto unpublished lectures, 'The Archaeology of Feeling', on the ancient origins of some key modern philosophical and psychological concepts.

The trilogy Forms of Representation in the Aristotelian Tradition investigates how Aristotle and his ancient and medieval successors understood the relation between the external world and the human mind. It gives an equal footing to the three most influential linguistic traditions - Greek, Latin, and Arabic - and offers insightful interpretations of historical theories of perception, dreaming, and thinking. This second volume focuses on dreaming and analyses some of the most prominent problems connected to dreams as representations. The contributions in this volume address the core Aristotelian texts and their reception, up to and including contemporary scientific discourse on dreaming.

Protagoras beansprucht, die Jugend erziehen zu können. Warum nicht? Wenn «Mensch Maß aller Dinge» ist, kann jeder jeden 'besser' machen... Für Plato geht das nicht auf. Insofern Pädagogik Menschen dazu bringen will, 'bessere' Wesen zu werden, verlangt sie nach Plato ein gesundes Verständnis von 'Sein' überhaupt. Diese Studie untersucht die ontologischen Implikationen des Homo mensura -Satzes, Protagoras' Prämisse, im 'Theaitetos' - einem Dialog, der selten ontologisch gelesen wird. Wenn der protagoräische Prämisse den pädagogischen Anspruch nicht trägt, dürfte der 'Protagoras' gar nicht eigentlich von den erzieherischen Fragen handeln, die diskutiert werden. Es könnte sich herausstellen, dass er einen 'verborgenen' Diskurs enthält... Protagoras claims to be able to educate the young. If «Man is Measure of Everything», anybody can make everybody 'better'... To Plato, this doesn't add up. Insofar as pedagogy aims at making humans become better beings, to Plato it supposes a sound conception of 'being' per se. This study explores the ontological implications of homo mensura , Protagoras' premiss, in the 'Theaetetus' - a dialogue which is rarely read ontologically. If the Protagorean premiss doesn't support the pedagogical claim, the 'Protagoras' might not even be about the educational questions under discussion, but turn out to contain a 'hidden' discourse....

Proclus' commentary on Plato's dialogue Timaeus is arguably the most important commentary on a text of Plato, offering unparalleled insights into eight centuries of Platonic interpretation. It has had an enormous influence on subsequent Plato scholarship. This edition offers the first new English translation of the work for nearly two centuries, building on significant recent advances in scholarship on Neoplatonic commentators. It provides an invaluable record of early interpretations of Plato's dialogue, while also presenting Proclus' own views on the meaning and significance of Platonic philosophy. The present volume, the fifth in the edition, presents Proclus' commentary on the Timaeus, dealing with Proclus' account of static and flowing time; we see Proclus situating Plato's account of the motions of the stars and planets in relation to the astronomical theories of his day. The volume includes a substantial introduction, as well as notes that will shed new light on the text.

D’abord, la « Nature », avec ses composantes bigarrées, ses lois inexorables et ses principes aveugles ; et puis, au-dessus d’elle, la supplantant, l’écrasant, la « Société », recueil des expressions de l’ingéniosité humaine, somme des arrangements plus ou moins fi ables dont nous avons convenu entre nous. Ce schéma dualiste, dans lequel se concentre une partie de l’héritage idéaliste de la pensée philosophique occidentale, a joué un rôle central dans l’autocompréhension historique de la modernité. Certains hommes seraient devenus, justement, modernes, et ils auraient conféré cette qualité éminente à leurs idées, en particulier aux savoirs qu’ils se proposaient de développer, en séparant de façon tranchante Nature et Société. Ce faisant, ils les auraient rendues, dit-on, pensables l’une et l’autre. Le présent ouvrage prend le contre-pied de cette conception en développant deux motifs. Premièrement : la « modernité » s’est aussi construite autour de positions qui insistaient sur l’appartenance des êtres humains à l’ordre englobant de la Nature, qui, par exemple, illustraient la continuité entre les savoirs visant le corps organique et le corps social. Deuxièmement : cette modernité-là ne rompt nullement avec l’Antiquité. Car les Grecs et les Latins n’ont pas seulement institué ce partage ; ils se sont aussi inquiétés de sa valeur et de ses limites – ils l’ont discuté, déplacé, dissout, refondé, à mesure qu’ils entendaient justifier de nouveaux savoirs, les séparer d’autres ou les unir en de nouvelles continuités. Ainsi se substitue à la césure moderne le temps long d’une histoire où la multiplicité des façons de faire et de défaire cette frontière accompagne depuis l’Antiquité la production des savoirs. Nous héritons dès lors d’une autre histoire que celle que nous nous sommes racontée. Faudra-t-il renoncer à trier les êtres ou les processus selon qu’ils paraissent relever plutôt de l’existence naturelle ou de l’artificialité sociale ? Il suffira de désinvestir ce…

Ce livre examine trois auteurs - Plutarque, Jamblique et Augustin - qui ont marqué les débats philosophiques sur la divination dans l'Antiquité. L'auteur met en évidence la cohérence de la pensée antique relative à la divination, l'importance de l'héritage platonicien dans cette histoire intellectuelle, son dialogue avec d'autres courants philosophiques (e.g. l'aristotélisme et le stoïcisme) et sa postérité dans la pensée patristique. Ce livre contribue ainsi à éclairer un aspect essentiel mais relativement négligé des rapports entre philosophie et religion dans l'Antiquité
