Anton, John Peter. 1969. "Ancient Interpretations of Aristotle's Doctrine of Homonyma." Journal of theHistory of Philosophy no. 7:1-18."The main purpose of this paper is to offer an exposition and a critical examination of the ancientinterpretations of Aristotle's doctrine of homonyma. A circumlocution of what Aristotle meansby homonyma things is given in Categories, ch. 1, I a. The ancient interpretations with which we areconcerned in this paper are to be found in the extant commentaries on this treatise. Evidently, morecommentaries had been written on the Categories than the vicissitudes of time allowed to survive, but wehave only those of the following writers: Porphyrius (c. 233-303), Dexippus (fl. c. 350), Ammonius (fl. c.485), Philoponus (c. 490-530), Olympiodorus (fl. c. 535), Simplicius (fl. c. 533), Elias (ft. c. 550).

might add here the relevant writings of John Damascene (675-749), Photius (820-91), and MichaelPsellus (1018-79), which are useful paraphrases rather than full commentaries. For that reason, theinterpretations they support are not discussed in this paper.The main body of this paper is given to a discussion of the interpretations which the ancientcommentators offered and to an analysis of the assumptions which underlie them. It can be stated here inanticipation of what follows that the commentators often attached to Aristotle's meaning of homonymaaspects that were quite foreign to his views, and that by doing so these commentators were takingextensive liberties with the text at hand. As we hope to show, the commentators brought into theirdiscussions of this particular portion of the Categories issues andviews that were far more relevant to their own ontologies and logical theories than to Aristotle'sdoctrines. In order to show how this is the case, we must first give a summary of what we believe our textpermits us to say about the meaning of homonyma, as given in the opening chapter of the Categories.1Suffice it to add at this point that the interpretations of the doctrine of homonyma with which we areconcerned here are only those that are discussed exclusively in the relevant commentaries on this work."pp. 1-2———. 1981.

Revue des Sciences Philosophiques et Théologiques no. 85:669-678."Contrairement à l'opinion reçue, les questions que soulève Porphyre dans son Commentaire auxCatégories d'Aristote ne sont pas posées par un maître, mais par un disciple en quête du savoir. Lesindices probants qui le suggèrent sont nombreux et, consultant les manuscrits, on peut même, dans unpassage précis (p. 74-75), découvrir la bévue éditoriale qui, dans le chef de Busse, est à l'origine dumalentendu. La rectification qui s'impose permet de comparer Porphyre avec le Commentaire de Dexippeet de tirer une conclusion sur l'apprentissage de la philosophie dans les premières écolesnéoplatoniciennes."

Louvain: Peeters."Eudorus' criticisms are directed to the details, but never question the doctrine of the Categories as such.He intended to link the categories to Pythagoreanizing Platonism while correcting points of detail. Thus itis not absurd to suppose that he was behind various Middle Platonic attempts to incorporate the categoriesinto Platonism. This position is manifestly different from that of Atticus, and is also not identical to thepolemical positions of other philosophers, according to Simplicius ( in Cat. 1, 18-2, 5). Furthermore,Eudorus' exegesis has nothing to do with the critical discussion of the categories developed by Plotinus.We should probably conclude that the earliest reception of Aristotle's categories in the Platonism ofEudorus' time should be seen entirely within its precise context in the period between the 1st cent. B.C.and the 1st cent. A.D."

species to the list. I argue that a careful comparison of the two lists shows that they differ moreprofoundly than Porphyry's critics suspect, and that these modern critics, unlike the ancientcommentators, have been mislead by the title of Isagoge which they interpret as "Introduction" to Topicsor Categories exclusively. it is shown that this is not the case."———. 1988.

Flannery, Kevin. 1999. "The Synonymy of Homonyms." Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie no.81:268-289."Simplicius reports in his commentary on Aristotle's Categories that Claudius Nicostratus and a certainLucius argued that there is a problem with Aristotle's definition of homonyms in the first chapter of theCategories. If homonyms fall under that definition, they, qua homonyms, are not homonyms at all butsynonyms, since they share the name 'homonym' and also the definition of homonyms. The author of thepresent article discusses a number of ancient and modern attempts to resolve this paradox, arguing thatnone of them is fully satisfactory. He proposes, rather, the elimination of the words 'of being' from lines1a2 and 1a4, a solution that finds support in some of the oldest evidence regarding manuscripts that existsin Aristotelian studies."

Simplicius's discussion of this passage in his commentary on the Categories clearlyshows the influence of Stoic philosophy of language; but, if we follow the text printed by Kalbfleisch,Simplicius's commentary is seen to be a muddle of Stoic and Aristotelian elements, neither properlyunderstood. It is possible, however, by making a crucial emendation. On that line Simplicius would beadopting the view that a declarative sentence refers to a thought in the first instance and a ' complexesignificabile' in the second instance. This view is plausibly the upshot of combining the Categories textwith the first chapter of De Interpretatione."

La comparison entre elles des Prefaces des cinq commentairesneo-Platoniciens des Catégories d'Aristote, dont l'un, celui de Simplicius, appartiendrait, selon Praechter,a l'école d'Alexandrie, fait apparaítre la concordance fondamentale de la philosophie neo-Platoniciennequi était enseignée à Athènes avec celle qui était enseignée à Alexandrie: toutes deux interprètent laphilosophie d'Aristote dans la même perspective neo-Platonicienne et la même volonté d'harmoniserPlaton et Aristote."

Tarrant, Harold. 2008. "Eudorus and the Early Platonist Interpretation of the Categories." LavalThéologique et Philosophique no. 64:583-595."The hermeneutic tradition concerning Aristotle's Categories goes back to Eudorus and hiscontemporaries in the 1st cent. B.C. Initially a perplexing text, it forces the Platonist to consider a varietyof new dialectical questions. The criticisms of Eudorus demonstrate the desire for orderly arrangementsand pose questions that the hermeneutic tradition, culminating in the commentary of Simplicius, wouldtry to answer. His pursuit of a critical agenda does not warrant the labels "anti-Aristotelian" or"polemical", but it does show why he preferred to be known as an Academic rather than a Peripatetic."
