Paperback. Condition: New. Simplicius' greatest contribution in his commentary on Aristotle on Physics 1.5-9 lies in his treatment of matter. The sixth-century philosopher starts with a valuable elucidation of what Aristotle means by 'principle' and 'element' in Physics. Simplicius' own conception of matter is of a quantity that is utterly diffuse because of its extreme distance from its source, the Neoplatonic One, and he tries to find this conception both in Plato's account of space and in a stray remark of Aristotle's. Finally, Simplicius rejects the Manichaean view that matter is evil and answers a Christian objection that to make matter imperishable is to put it on a level with God. This is the first translation of Simplicius' important work into English.…

Condition: as new. Philadelphia : University of Pennsylvania Press, 2015. Hardcover. Dustjacket. vi, 328 pp. - Throughout Western history, there have been those who felt compelled to share a dissenting opinion on public matters, while still hoping to avoid the social, political, and even criminal consequences for exercising free speech. In this collection of fourteen original essays, editors Han Baltussen and Peter J. Davis trace the roots of censorship far beyond its supposed origins in early modern history. Beginning with the ancient Greek concept of parrhesia, and its Roman equivalent libertas, the contributors to The Art of Veiled Speech examine lesser-known texts from historical periods, some famous for setting the benchmark for free speech, such as fifth-century Athens and republican Rome, and others for censorship, such as early imperial and late antique Rome. Medieval attempts to suppress heresy, the Spanish Inquisition, and the writings of Thomas Hobbes during the Reformation are among the examples chosen to illustrate an explicit link of cultural censorship across time, casting new light on a range of issues: Which circumstances and limits on free speech were in play? What did it mean for someone to "speak up" or "speak truth to authority"? Contents : Parrhêsia, free speech, and self-censorship / Han Baltussen and Peter J. Davis -- Self-censorship in Ancient Greek comedy / Andrew Hartwig Chapter -- Parrhe^sia and censorship in the polis and the symposium : an exploration of Hyperides Against Philippides 3 / Lara O'Sullivan -- A bark worse than his bite? Diogenes the cynic and the politics of tolerance in Athens / Han Baltussen -- Censorship for the Roman stage? / Gesine Manuwald -- The poet as prince : author and authority under Augustus / Ioannis Ziogas -- "Quae quis fugit damnat" : outspoken silence in Seneca's epistles / Marcus Wilson -- Argo's Flavian politics : the workings of Power in Valerius Flaccus / Peter J. Davis -- Compulsory freedom : literature in Trajan's Rome / John Penwill -- Christian correspondences : the secrets of letter-writers and letter-bearers / Pauline Allen -- "Silence Is also annulment" : veiled and unveiled speech in seventh-century martyr commemorations / Bronwen Neil -- "Dixit quod nunquam vidit hereticos" : dissimulation and self-censorship in thirteenth-century Inquisitorial testimonies / Megan Cassidy-Welch -- Inquisition, art, and self-censorship in the early modern Spanish church, 1563-1834 / François Soyer -- Thomas Hobbes and the problem of self-censorship / Jonathan Parkin.
