Free will and determinism
2014
'The universe is, as it were, one machine, wherein the celestial spheres are analogous to the interlocking wheels and the particular beings are like the things moved by the wheels, and all events are determined by an inescapable necessity. To speak of free choice or self determination is only an illusion we human beings cherish.' Thus writes Theodore the engineer to his old friend Proclus, one of the last major Classical philosophers. Proclus' reply is one of the most remarkable discussions on fate, providence and free choice in Late Antiquity. It continues a long debate that had started with the first polemics of the Platonists against the Stoic doctrine of determinism. How can there be a place for free choice and moral responsibility in a world governed by an unalterable fate? Proclus discusses ten problems on providence and fate, foreknowledge of the future, human responsibility, evil and punishment (or seemingly absence of punishment), social and individual responsibility for evil, and the unequal fate of different animals. Until now, despite its great interest, Proclus' treatise has not received the attention it deserves, probably because its text is not very accessible to the modern reader. It has survived only in a Latin medieval translation and in some extensive Byzantine Greek extracts. This first English translation, based on a retro-conversion that works out what the original Greek must have been, brings the arguments he formulates again to the fore.

Late Antique Philosophy
2014
Diese neue Reihe wurde gegründet als Fortsetzung und Erweiterung der 1882-1907 an der Königlich- Preußischen Akademie zu Berlin erstellten Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca, der Edition der spätantiken Kommentare zu Aristoteles. Die Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca et Byzantina weiten den Blick in die byzantinische Tradition und legen textkritische Ersteditionen byzantinischer Aristoteleskommentare sowie weiterer Textquellen zur Aristotelesrezeption in Byzanz vor. Auch Monographien und Sammelbände zur Erschließung dieser Texte werden in die Reihe aufgenommen. Auf diese Weise können die Grundlagen für das Studium und die Beurteilung der byzantinistischen Philosophie und die Kenntnis der betreffenden Autoren, Kopisten und Rezipienten entscheidend erweitert werden. Die Editionen konzentrieren sich auf Kommentare zu Schriften zu Naturphilosophie, Metaphysik, Biologie und Psychologie sowie Logik. Pluspunkte: Herausgeber sind international renommierte Aristoteles-Spezialisten Reihe setzt die de Gruyter-Schwerpunkte Aristoteles (Bekker-Ausgabe, CAG) und kritische Edition fort und erschließt byzantinische Schriften Reihe bietet Ersteditionen neuer Texte, die Lücken in der Philosophie- und Geistesgeschichte des Mittelalters schließen.
