  1. Amelius’ Interpretation of the Hypotheses of Plato’s Parmenides.Leonida Vanni - 2023 - Philosophie Antique 23 (23):27-61.
    Dans le livre VI de son commentaire sur le Parménide, Proclus rend compte des interprétations des « hypothèses » du Parménide proposées par ses devanciers. Le présent article étudie l’exégèse des hypothèses par le premier commentateur que Proclus examine, à savoir Amélius, le disciple de Plotin. Après une présentation des vestiges de son commentaire sur le Parménide, j’analyse trois aspects particulièrement intéressants de son exégèse : 1) à la différence de la plupart des commentateurs néoplatoniciens, Amélius distinguait non pas neuf, (...)

  • Y a-t-il une forme du monde?Marc-Antoine Gavray - 2023 - Philosophie Antique 23 (23):89-115.
    The Platonists were very much concerned with defining what possesses a form. By the time of Syrianus and Proclus, an answer had emerged : natural and universal substances and their constituent perfections and properties. While Simplicius follows this guideline, the context of his commentaries leads him to clarify some blind spots. This article examines how the world and some related forms offer him the opportunity to question the doctrine, particularly the criterion of universality. The aim is to show that if (...)

  • Parmenides’ First Attack on the Forms.Pieter D’Hoine - 2021 - History of Philosophy & Logical Analysis 24 (1):103-121.
    This paper provides a case study for the use of syllogistic reconstructions in the commentaries on Plato by the fifth-century commentator Proclus. The paper discusses Proclus’ reconstruction of the argument about the range of the Forms in Plato’s Parmenides (130b–e). In his commentary on this dialogue, Proclus reports a syllogistic reconstruction of the argument proposed by some of his predecessors. In this reconstruction, the argument as a whole is interpreted as a straightforward attack on the existence of Forms, while the (...)

  • Simplicius on the Individuation of Material Substances.Marina Schwark - 2019 - Elenchos: Rivista di Studi Sul Pensiero Antico 40 (2):401-429.
    In his commentary on Physics I 9, Simplicius claims that individual forms individuate matter. Given that in the same text he calls the immanent form ‘universal,’ it seems reasonable to conclude that the individual forms are individual instances of one universal species–form. However, Simplicius also mentions accidental properties that are peculiar to form rather than to matter. On the basis of Simplicius’ commentaries on the Categories and on the Physics, I argue that the individuating accidents are not part of the (...)
