	Speusippus - LoveToKnow 1911
		SPEUSIPPUS (4th century B.C.), Greek philosopher, son of Eurymedon and Potone, sister of Plato, is supposed to have been born about 407 B.C. He was bred in the school of Isocrates; The Sperm-Whale (Physeter macrocephalus).
		The head is about one-third of the length of the body, very massive, high and truncated in front; and owing its size and form mainly to the accumulation of a peculiarly modified form of fatty tissue in the large hollow on the upper surface of the skull.
		Thus while Plato hoped to ascend through classificatory science to the knowledge of eternal and immutable laws of thought and being, Speusippus, abandoning ontological speculation, was content to regard classificatory science not as a means but as an end, and (6) to rest in the results of scientific observation.

	Speusippus (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Winter 2003 Edition)
		Speusippus of Athens was the son of Plato's sister Potone; he became head of the Academy on Plato's death in 348/347 and remained its head for eight years (Diogenes Laertius iv 1), apparently until his death.
		Speusippus and the entire old Academy say that pleasure and pain are two evils opposed to each other, but that the good is what is in the middle between the two.
		Assuming that we correctly understood Speusippus' response to the Universal Pursuit Argument, (2), (3), and (6) are consonant with that response.

		Speusippus seems to have continued Plato's polemical attacks upon the hedonistic theory of Aristippus ('ApiVrtTrTros a', TLepl rjfiovris a', TLepl irXovrov a'), to have developed somewhat further the ideas of justice and of the citizen, and the fundamental principles of legislation (Tltpl SiKaiocrvvrjs a', Tlo\trrjs a', lie/?!

	Middle Platonism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]

		According to Speusippus the cosmos is eternally generated; therefore, he interpreted the creation account in the Timaeus as intended for purposes of instruction, and not to be taken literally.
		In the sphere of ethics Speusippus seems to have taught that happiness is leading a moral life, which likely meant for him a median between pleasure and pain, both of which, according to Aulus Gellius (Noctes Atticae IX, 5.4), Speusippus considered to be evils.

		It was this phase of Platonic thought that was taken up and developed by the Platonic Academies, while in the bands of Aristotle the teachings of the earlier dialogues were carried to a higher development.
		To the Old Academy belonged Speusippus, Xenoerates, Heraclides of Pontus, Philip of Opus, Crates, and Crantor; Arcesilaus and Carneades are the principal representatives of the Middle Academy, while Philo of Larissa and Antiochus of Ascalon are the best-known members of the New Academy.
		Speusippus seems to have substituted numbers for Ideas, assigning to them all the attributes, including separate existence, which Plato in his earlier dialogues had attributed to the Ideas.

		Bickermann and Sykutris built on their discussion of authenticity with a criticism of Speusippus for writing in the manner that he did, in particular, for his attacks on certain fellow intellectuals, and for how he shamelessly panders to Philip at the expense of Athens.
		He thus argues that the historical context of the letter is better suited to events in the reign of Perdiccas III (368-359), whose death in battle against the Illyrians led to the acclamation of his younger brother Philip as king.
		Thus, suggests Natoli, Speusippus' use of Plato was not dangerous, for he linked it to the concept of euergesia, his aim being to persuade Philip that he needs to continue serving the Greeks as did his predecessors.

		Speusippus, an enthusiastic Pythagorean and a key figure in the Academy long before Platoâs death, was a fairly prolific writer whose oeuvre, however, is mostly lost.
		Also, Speusippus specifies the process by which a whole series of levels of reality are produced: the first product of the union between two principles becomes in its turn a principle âmating with its motherâ (46) and generating the next level of being.
		Equally informative is his analysis of Speusippusâ claim that goodness manifests itself only at the level of Soul (53), Speusippusâ probable interpretation of the relation between the first and the second hypotheses in the Parmenides (56-59), and his theory of mathematics emerging from OPN.

	Xenocrates (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		On the death of Plato, when Speusippus became head of the Academy, Xenocrates and Aristotle may have left Athens together at the invitation of Hermeias of Atarneus (see Strabo XIII 57, printed in Gaiser 1988, 380-381, discussed at 384-385), and Xenocrates returned to succeed Speusippus.
		Reconstruction of Xenocrates' views turns, as in the case of Speusippus, on Aristotle, and, again as in the case of Speusippus, this is made the more difficult by Aristotle's frequent failure actually to name Xenocrates when talking about his views.
		Speusippus rejects the formal numbers (and the entire theory of forms along with them; see the entry on Speusippus).

		The more plausible view, therefore, is that Speusippus did accept the Third Man, that Plato published it because he felt the need to at least acknowledge it, and that he refrained from publishing Speusippus' objection relating to the method of division because he felt it to be of lesser importance.
		Speusippus was understandably not convinced by these unproven assertions, and Plato never got around to finishing his trilogy; instead, he turned to something he deemed more important, political philosophy (in the Laws).
		Speusippus could say against Plato that he had not answered the Third Man, and Plato could say against Speusippus that his system was not easily derivable from the most fundamental principles.

		He never writes in his own person,[2] and mentions himself twice only, both times in intimate connexion with Socrates, once to tell us that he was present at the trial and once to explain his absence from the group of friends who were with Socrates in his last hours.
		He may quote Speusippus and Clearchus for the story of Plato’s divine birth, but we also owe to him the knowledge that Plato’s retirement to Megara to stay with Euclides after the execution of Socrates is vouched for by Hermodorus.
		Speusippus, who had become friendly with Dion in Athens and accompanied Plato to Sicily, encouraged Dion to return and oppose Dionysius with force.

		The problem is that, especially in the case of Speusippus, we cannot expect overt commentary on the dialogue.
		However, we know that Speusippus and Xenocrates (and presumably their colleagues) maintained that the creation myth of the Timaeus was not to be taken literally, and certain interesting consequences follow from that.
		As for Xenocrates, he is clear that the two components of the soul are the Monad and the Indefinite Dyad, the union of which initially creates number, and then, with the addition of motion and rest, soul.

	Forgotten Debates: The Hidden Story of Ancient Greek Philosophy
		Because of this conflict, Plato and Speusippus must have had many debates concerning the existence of the forms, yet no one in antiquity ever mentioned them.
		These debates include, besides those between Plato and Speusippus, those between the Eleatics and the sophists and those that Plato had with other philosophers when he first developed his theory of forms.
		By bringing these forgotten debates to the fore, this volume reveals how obscure philosophers such as Speusippus and Cratylus were more important than anyone has imagined, while Parmenides, often thought of as a philosophical giant, correspondingly shrinks in influence.

		Despite Xenocrates having been chosen to head the Academy by Speusippus, an election took place to find a successor to Speusippus after his death.
		In this respect he contrasted strongly with his predecessor Speusippus who had strongly supported the political ties between Athens and Macedonia.
