Book Synopsis Themistius: On Aristotle On the Soul by : Robert B. Todd
Download or read book Themistius: On Aristotle On the Soul written by Robert B. Todd and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Themistius ran his philosophical school in Constantinople in the middle of the fourth century A.D. His paraphrases of Aristotle's writings are unlike the elaborate commentaries produced by Alexander of Aphrodisias, or the later Neoplatonists Simplicius and Philoponus. His aim was to provide a clear and independent restatement of Aristotle's text which would be accessible as an elementary exegesis. But he also discusses important philosophical problems, reports and disagrees with other commentaries including the lost commentary of Porphyry, and offers interpretations of Plato. Themistius' paraphrase of Aristotle's On the Soul is his most important and influential work. It is also the first extant commentary on this work of Aristotle to survive from antiquity. A rival to that of Alexander of Aphrodisias, it represents one of the main interpretations of Aristotle's theory of the intellect, which was debated throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It continues to be an important text for the reconstruction of Aristotle's philosophical psychology today.

Book Synopsis Themistius: On Aristotle Physics 5-8 by : Themistius,
Download or read book Themistius: On Aristotle Physics 5-8 written by Themistius, and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Themistius' treatment of Books 5-8 of Aristotle's Physics shows this commentator's capacity to identify, isolate and discuss the core ideas in Aristotle's account of change, his theory of the continuum, and his doctrine of the unmoved mover. His paraphrase offered his ancient students, as they will now offer his modern readers, an opportunity to encounter central features of Aristotle's physical theory, synthesized and epitomized in a manner that has always marked Aristotelian exegesis but was raised to a new level by the innovative method of paraphrase pioneered by Themistius. Taking selective but telling accounts of the earlier Peripatetic tradition (notably Theophrastus and Alexander of Aphrodisias), this commentator creates a framework that can still be profitably used by Aristotelian scholars today.
Book Synopsis Two Greek Aristotelian Commentators on the Intellect by : Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies
Download or read book Two Greek Aristotelian Commentators on the Intellect written by Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies and published by PIMS. This book was released on 1990 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Aristotelian doctrine had a greater influence on medieval philosophy and theology than that of the agent, or active, intellect. This influence, however, was mediated by a long tradition of exegesis in which the Greek commentaries of later antiquity played a dominant role. The two commentaries presented here were known to have been influential in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The first is a short treatise called the "De intellectu", attributed to Alexander of Aphrodisias; the second a paraphrase of Aristotle's "De anima" (3.4-8) by Themistius, which also includes a major interpretation of "De anima" (3.5), the chapte on the active intellect.
Book Synopsis Themistius: On Aristotle Metaphysics 12 by : Yoav Meyrav
Download or read book Themistius: On Aristotle Metaphysics 12 written by Yoav Meyrav and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only commentary on Aristotle's theological work, Metaphysics, Book 12, to survive from the first six centuries CE – the heyday of ancient Greek commentary on Aristotle. Though the Greek text itself is lost, a full English translation is presented here for the first time, based on Arabic versions of the Greek and a Hebrew version of the Arabic. In his commentary Themistius offers an extensive re-working of Aristotle, confirming that the first principle of the universe is indeed Aristotle's God as intellect, not the intelligibles thought by God. The identity of intellect with intelligibles had been omitted by Aristotle in Metaphysics 12, but is suggested in his Physics 3.3 and On the Soul 3, and later by Plotinus. Laid out here in an accessible translation and accompanied by extensive commentary notes, introduction and indexes, the work will be of interest for students and scholars of Neoplatonist philosophy, ancient metaphysics, and textual transmission.
Book Synopsis On Aristotle On the Soul 1.1-2.4 by : Simplicius (of Cilicia.)
Download or read book On Aristotle On the Soul 1.1-2.4 written by Simplicius (of Cilicia.) and published by Bristol Classical Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 thought and sense perception and provides considerable insight into this important area of Aristotle's thought. In this first volume, the Neoplatonist commentator covers the first half of Aristotle's On the Soul, comprising Aristotle's survey of his predecessors and his own rival account of the nature of the soul.

Book Synopsis De Anima (On the Soul) by : Aristotle
Download or read book De Anima (On the Soul) written by Aristotle and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-07-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Pre-Socratic philosophers the soul was the source of movement and sensation, while for Plato it was the seat of being, metaphysically distinct from the body that it was forced temporarily to inhabit. Plato's student Aristotle was determined to test the truth of both these beliefs against the emerging sciences of logic and biology. His examination of the huge variety of living organisms - the enormous range of their behaviour, their powers and their perceptual sophistication - convinced him of the inadequacy both of a materialist reduction and of a Platonic sublimation of the soul. In De Anima, he sought to set out his theory of the soul as the ultimate reality of embodied form and produced both a masterpiece of philosophical insight and a psychology of perennially fascinating subtlety.
Book Synopsis Soul and Mind in Greek Thought. Psychological Issues in Plato and Aristotle by : Marcelo D. Boeri
Download or read book Soul and Mind in Greek Thought. Psychological Issues in Plato and Aristotle written by Marcelo D. Boeri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new insights into the workings of the human soul and the philosophical conception of the mind in Ancient Greece. It collects essays that deal with different but interconnected aspects of that unified picture of our mental life shared by all Ancient philosophers who thought of the soul as an immaterial substance. The papers present theoretical discussions on moral and psychological issues ranging from Socrates to Aristotle, and beyond, in connection with modern psychology. Coverage includes moral learning and the fruitfulness of punishment, human motivation, emotions as psychic phenomena, and more. Some of these topics directly stemmed from the Socratic dialectical experience and its tragic outcome, whereas others found their way through a complex history of refinements, disputes, and internal critique. The contributors present the gradual unfolding of these central themes through a close inspection of the relevant Ancient texts. They deliver a wide-ranging survey of some central and mutually related topics. In the process, readers will learn new approaches to Platonic and Aristotelian psychology and action theory. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in Ancient philosophy. Any scholar with a general interest in the history of ideas will also find it a valuable resource.

Book excerpt: "This text by Philoponus, the sixth-century commentator on Aristotle, is notable for its very informative introduction to Psychology, which tells us the views of Philoponus, of his teacher, and of later Neoplatonists on our psychological capacities and on mind-body relations." "The work gives us an unusual account of how reasons can infer a universally valid conclusion from a single instance. It assays inherited views on the roles of intellect and perception in concept formation, and on the human ability to make reasoned decision, celebrated by Aristotle but here downgraded."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: 'On the Soul' is Aristotle's philosophical treatise on the nature of life and all things living.

Philosophers, theologians and students alike will find Aristotle's discourse 'On the Soul' of much interest.
