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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\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":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715406655795,"sku":"9781350136489","price":91.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/YS9NSFo0MmY1YURjYnMyUitVSjdyQT09.webp?v=1763604142","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/hermias-on-plato-phaedrus-227a-245e-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
