Simplikios

Japanese: シンプリキオス(英語表記)Simplikios
Simplikios
A Greek philosopher active around 530. He studied under Ammonius and Damascius and embraced Neoplatonism. After the closure of the Academy in Athens by Emperor Justinian (529), he traveled to Persia with Damascius and other Neoplatonists. After returning to Athens in 533, he wrote excellent commentaries on Aristotle's On the Categories, Physics, On the Heavens, and On the Soul, comparing Plato and Aristotle. His commentary on Physics in particular is a valuable resource, as it includes fragmentary descriptions of pre-Socratic philosophers.

530年頃活躍したギリシアの哲学者。アンモニオスやダマスキオスに学び新プラトン主義を奉じた。ユスチニアヌス帝によるアテネのアカデメイア閉鎖後 (529) ,ダマスキオスほか新プラトン派の人々とペルシアへおもむく。 533年アテネへ帰還後,プラトンとアリストテレスを対比しつつアリストテレスの『範疇論』『自然学』『天体論』『霊魂論』についてすぐれた注釈を著わした。特に『自然学』の注釈はソクラテス以前の哲学者の断片的記述を含む点で貴重な資料である。
