Paperback. Condition: New. Aristotle's account of place, in which he defined a thing's place as the inner surface of its nearest immobile container, was supported by the Latin Middle Ages, even 1600 years after his death, though it had not convinced many ancient Greek philosophers. The sixth century commentator Philoponus took a more common-sense view. For him, place was an immobile three-dimensional extension, whose essence did not preclude its being empty, even if for other reasons it had always to be filled with body. However, Philoponus reserved his own definition for an excursus, already translated in this series, The Corollary on Place. In the text translated here he wanted instead to explain Aristotle's view to elementary students. The recent conjecture that he wished to attract young fellow Christians away from the official pagan professor of philosophy in Alexandria has the merit of explaining why he expounds Aristotle here, rather than attacking him. But he still puts the students through their paces, for example when discussing Aristotle's claim that place cannot be a body, or two bodies would coincide.This volume contains an English translation of Philoponus' commentary, as well as a detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes and a bibliography.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Illustrated. A full account of the philosophy of the Greek and Roman worlds from the last days of Aristotle (c.320 BC) until 100 BC. Hellenistic philosophy, for long relatively neglected and unappreciated, has over the last decade been the object of a considerable amount of scholarly attention. Now available in paperback, this 1999 volume is a general reference work which pulls the subject together and presents an overview. The History is organised by subject, rather than chronologically or by philosophical school, with sections on logic, epistemology, physics and metaphysics, ethics and politics. It has been written by specialists but is intended to be a source of reference for any student of ancient philosophy, for students of classical antiquity and for students of the philosophy of later periods. Greek and Latin are used sparingly and always translated in the main text.…

The Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy offers a full account of the philosophy of the Greek and Roman worlds from the last days of Aristotle (d. 322 BC) until 100 BC, and is as comprehensive as the often fragmentary evidence allows. Hellenistic philosophy, for long relatively neglected and unappreciated, has over the last two decades been the object of a considerable amount of scholarly attention. Detailed works have been pub-lished, but the time has now come for a general reference work which pulls the subject together and presents an overview. The volume is organised by subject rather than chronologically or by philosophical schools, and so there are sections on logic, episte-mology, physics and metaphysics, ethics and politics. This makes it easier to present the vigorous debate and dissension between the different schools which characterised the Hellenistic age. The History has been written by specialists but it is intended to be a source of reference for any student of ancient philosophy, amateur or professional, for students of classical antiquity and for students of philosophy of later periods. Greek and Latin are used sparingly and always translated in the main text.…
