Title: Platonismo e aristotelismo nel Timaeus di Cicerone
Review/Collection: “Elenchos” 42, 2
Year edition: 2022
Pages: 249-278
Keywords: Philosophie - Filosofia - Philosophy
Description: Cicero’s Timaeus legitimately stands as the first Latin exegesis of the Platonic dialogue. I shall deal with the interpretation of §§19–21, a passage that departs significantly from the Greek text in several respects. The aim of this paper is to explore the role Aristotelianism might have played in Cicero’s Timaeus. Among the points that support such an analysis is the mention of the Peripatetic Cratippus in the prologue. The interpretative scenario I suggest considers both Cratippus’ role and Antiochus’s philosophical system with its agreement between Platonism and Aristotelianism.[Author]
