Aspasian Infidelities. On Aspasius’ Philosophical Background (EN I)
Publication . Mesquita, António Pedro
The discussion on Aspasius’ philosophical background has benefited in recent years from a wide consensus. According to this consensus, Aspasius should be regarded as a Peripatetic, or even as an “orthodox Peripatetic” (Barnes’ phrase). It is true that Aspasius’ commentary is generally in tune with Aristotle. It is true that he shows an extensive knowledge of Aristotelian research pertinent for the discussions and that he uses Aristotelian concepts, principles, and doctrines with ease as if they were his own, thus denoting an old assimila- tion of those materials and a long accommodation to them. In a word, it is true that Aspasius is an Aristotelian. He is, however, as I will try to show in this paper, an Aristotelian strongly influenced by Stoicism. I will do so by selecting those points from Aspasius’ commentary on book I of the Nicomachean Ethics where the Stoic influence is most flagrantly evident, namely in his interpretation of art (τέχνη), his conception of continence and incontinence and, especially, his interpretation of the relation between happiness, virtue, and external goods in Aristotle.
Platón y Aristóteles: Dos ontologías en confrontación
Publication . Mesquita, António Pedro
La finalidad del presente escrito consiste en plantear dos tesis respecto de la naturaleza de la metafísica y de su objeto en el marco del pensamiento de Aristóteles, los cuales suponen y certifican a la vez la irreductibilidad de las ontologías platónica y aristotélica. A través de tal planteamiento se tratará de dejar claro que la sustancia aristotélica no es una noción operacional o puramente taxonómica, sino que posee un contenido ontológico propio e invariable, y que en dicho contenido radica la diferencia específica de la ontología aristotélica respecto de la platónica.
