It is the only Neoplatonic commentary on Plato's \u003ci\u003ePhaedrus \u003c\/i\u003eto have survived in its entirety. Further interest comes from the recorded interventions by Syrianus' pupils - including those by Proclus, his eventual successor as head of the Athenian school, who went on to teach Hermias' father, Ammonius. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first of two volumes of Hermias' commentary, the chapters translated here discuss the argument that the soul can be proved immortal as being the self-moving source of eternal motion. Aristotle explicitly disagreed with Plato on this treatment of the soul and Syrianus, having previously (in a commentary on the\u003ci\u003e Metaphysics\u003c\/i\u003e) criticised Aristotle severely when he disagreed with Plato, feels obliged here, too, to address the apparent disagreement. This new translation is thus vital for understanding Syrianus' attitude to Aristotle.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirk Baltzly \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Philosophy and Head of Discipline for Philosophy \u0026amp; Gender Studies at the University of Tasmania, Australia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Share \u003c\/b\u003eis Adjunct Researcher at the School of History \u0026amp; Classics, University of Tasmania, Australia.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47440416669874,"sku":"9781350136489","price":85.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/MSTqpKQ_ya9781350136489.webp?v=1783179466","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/hermias-on-plato-phaedrus-227a-245e-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
