Philoponus' treatise Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World, an attack on Aristotle's astronomy and theology is concerned mainly with the eternity and divinity of the fifth element, or 'quintessence', of which Aristotle took the stars to be composed. Pagans and Christians were divided on whether the world had a beginning, and on whether a belief that the heavens were divine was a mark of religion. Philoponus claimed on behalf of Christianity that the universe was not eternal. His most spectacular arguments, where wrung paradox out of the pagan belief in an infinite past, have been wrongly credited by historians of science to a period 700 years later. The treatise was to influence Islamic, Jewish, Byzantine and Latin thought, though the fifth element was defended against Philoponus even beyond the time of Copernicus. The influence of the treatise was not easy to trace before the fragments were assembled. Dr. Wildberg has brought them together for the first time and provided a summary which makes coherent sense of the whole. He has also studied a Syriac fragment, which reveals that the treatise originally contained an explicitly theological section on the Christian expectation of a new heaven and a new earth.

This volume is the first collection of scholarly articles in any modern language devoted to Aristotle’s De caelo. It grew out of series of workshops held at Princeton, Cambridge, and Paris in the late 1990’s. Since Aristotle’s De caelo had a major influence on cosmological thinking until the time of Galileo and Kepler and helped to shape the way in which Western civilization imagined its natural environment and place at the center of the universe, familiarity with the main doctrines of the De caelo is a prerequisite for an understanding of much of the thought and culture of antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Tillfälligt slut
Der in Moskau geborene Vjaceslav Ivanov (1866-1949) ging als Zwanzigjähriger nach Berlin, wurde Doktorand bei Otto Hirschfeld und Theodor Mommsen, wendete sich dann aber von der akademischen Laufbahn ab und entwickelte sich zu einem der einflussreichsten russischen Dichter und Gelehrten seiner Zeit. Auf seine auf Russisch verfassten und in Westeuropa nicht rezipierbaren Dionysos-Studien sollte in den Dreissiger Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts "Dionysos und die vordionysischen Kulte" erscheinen, ein einmaliges Werk, in dem Ivanovs vielseitiges Verständnis griechischer Religionsgeschichte - als Dichter, Mythenforscher, Philosoph, religiöser Denker und Gelehrter - zur Reife kam. In ihm unternimmt Ivanov mit Gelehrsamkeit und Scharfsinn den Versuch, Licht in das Chaos der orgiastischen Lokalkulte Griechenlands zu bringen und zu beweisen - noch vor der Entdeckung der Linear-B Tafeln mit dem Namen des Dionysos - , dass die Religion des Dionysos tiefe griechische Wurzeln besaß. Ivanov zieht dabei überraschende Verbindungslinien zur griechischen Dichtung, zur Tragödie und nicht zuletzt zum Frühchristentum. Der Autor starb kurz vor Abschluss der Arbeit und das Werk, das vor etwa 60 Jahren publiziert werden sollte und schon zu Lebzeiten des Autors zur Legende wurde, geriet in Vergessenheit. Erstmals erscheint nun dieser wichtige Beitrag zur griechischen Religionsgeschichte, vergleichbar mit den Forschungen von Gelehrten wie Erwin Rohde, Jane Harrison, Rudolf Otto und Karl Kerényi, nicht zuletzt auch als wichtiges Zeugnis der Wissenschaftsgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts.
