Topic: Andronicus of Rhodes


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Commentators on Aristotle > Andronicus of Rhodes (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Andronicus of Rhodes is credited with the production of the first reliable edition of Aristotle.
According to the tradition, Andronicus was the eleventh successor of Aristotle as head of the Peripatos, the school that Aristotle founded in Athens (Ammonius, In De Int.
In conclusion, although Andronicus’ alleged headship of the Peripatos cannot be established, the evidence in our possession can be taken as an indication of Andronicus’ leadership among the Peripatetic philosophers of this time.

 rhodes
Rhodes is a Greek island that lies to the south-east of the Greek mainland, approximately midway between the mainland and the island of Cyprus.
But their rule was also short and Rhodes became a part of the growing empire of Alexander the Great in 332 BC after he defeated the Persians, to the great relief of the citizens of Rhodes.
In 1912, Rhodes was seized from the Turks by the Italians, and in 1947, together with the other islands of the Dodecanese was united with Greece.

 Peripatetics Summary
Andronicus of Rhodes wrote a special study on the order of Aristotle's works and published an edition of the treatises in the order in which they have survived to us.
Andronicus is sometimes dated as early as 70 BCE, but as Cicero never refers to his edition, it may not have been published until after Cicero's death in 43 BCE.
The successor of Andronicus, Boëthius of Sidon (who is not to be confused with the earlier Stoic of the same name), rejected the doctrine that the universal is prior by nature to the particular and would not grant to form the title of primary substance.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rhodes
Rhodes became a centre of art and science; its school of rhetoric was frequented by many Romans, including Cato, Cicero, Cæsar, and Pompey.
By a decree of the Congregation of the Propaganda, 14 August, 1897, a prefecture Apostolic, entrusted to the Franciscans, was established in the
Island of Rhodes; it has in addition jurisdiction over a score of neighbouring islands, of which the principal are Carpathos, Leros, and Calymnos.

 Organon - ExampleProblems.com
The arranging of the works was conducted by Andronicus of Rhodes around 40 BC.
Aristotle's Metaphysics has many points of intellectual overlap with the works making up the Organon, but is not traditionally considered part of it; additionally there are works on logic attributed, with varying degrees of plausibility, to Aristotle that were not known to the Peripatetics.
In these works we can find the first ontological category theory (relevant in some branches of intensional logic), the first development of formal logic, the first known serious scientific inquisitions on the theory of (formal and informal) reasoning, the foundations of modal logic, and some antecedents of methodology of sciences.

 Aristotelianism
To sum up, Aristotle's philosophy can hardly be said to have been maintained in its entirety among the Greeks of the ancient world after the first generation of his disciples.
Andronicus launched a revival in the 1st century BC, but from the 4th century AD onward Aristotelianism was submerged in Neoplatonism, which accommodated to its own peculiar view of the universe whatever Aristotelian doctrine it cared to take up.
Aristotelianism was to have a highly distinguished history in the world of Islam; but the Arabic philosophers, who owed their first acquaintance with it to the Neoplatonists' commentaries, never presented it in its purity or disengaged it from the Neoplatonic context in which it had been transmitted to them.

 Andronicus Of Rhodes --  Encyclopædia Britannica
also called Andronicus Rhodius Greek philosopher noted for his meticulous editing and commentary of Aristotle's works, which had passed from one generation to the next in such a way that the presumed quality of the original texts had been lost and much superfluous material added to many of the major treatises.
It means “what comes after physics”; it was the phrase used by early students of Aristotle to refer to the contents of Aristotle's treatise on what he himself called “first philosophy,” and was used as the title of this treatise by Andronicus of Rhodes, one of the first of Aristotle's editors.
Rhodes belongs to Greece and is the largest and easternmost of a group of islands called the Dodecanese.

 Cratippus
The freedom of Rome was conferred upon him by Caesar, at the request of Cicero.
The only work attributed to him is a treatise on divination, but his reputation may be gauged by the fact that in 44 BC the Areopagus invited him to succeed Andronicus of Rhodes as scholarch.
He seems to have held that, while motion, sense and appetite cannot exist apart from the body, thought reaches its greatest power when most free from bodily influence, and that divination is due to the direct action of the divine mind on that faculty of the human soul which is not dependent on the body.

He continued the tradition of writing close commentaries on Aristotle’s work established in the first century BC by Andronicus of Rhodes, the editor of Aristotle’s ‘esoteric’ writings, which were designed for use in his school only.
Aristotle’s philosophy had fallen into neglect and disarray in the second generation after his death and remained in the shadow of the Stoics, Epicureans, and Academic skeptics throughout the Hellenistic age.
Andronicus’ edition of what was to become the Corpus Aristotelicum consolidated this renewed interest in Aristotle’s philosophy, albeit in a different form — learned elucidations of the Philosopher’s difficult texts.

Andronicus of Rhodes, a Peripatetic philosopher working in the 1st century BC, edited and compiled everything he thought Aristotle had written into almost everything we have today, the corpus Aristotelicum.
But he ran into a problem, kind of like putting together a complicated piece of tech and finding a bunch of leftovers, you know, bolts, washers, those weird plastic angle brackets not mentioned anywhere in the directions.
After compiling most of Aristotle's writing, Andronicus was left with fourteen essays/lectures that didn't seem to fit with the others.

The works were first published in about 60 BC by Andronicus of Rhodes, the last head of the Lyceum.
The form, titles, and order of Aristotle's texts that are studied today were given to them by Andronicus almost three centuries after the philosopher's death, and the long history of commentary upon them began at this stage.
Aristotle believed that logic was not a science but rather had to be treated before the study of every branch of knowledge.

 SparkNotes: Aristotle: Context
Aristotle’s published writings were all lost or destroyed in the centuries after his death, and what we have are lectures, or notes on lectures, that Aristotle gave at the Lyceum.
As a result, not only do we not know the chronology of Aristotle’s writings, but we are also unsure if Andronicus arranged them in the order that Aristotle had intended, or if all the works collected by Andronicus were written by Aristotle.
We can also be quite confident that what Andronicus collected constitutes less than one-third of all of Aristotle’s writings.
