Title: Studies on Alexander of Aphrodisiasâ On mixture and growth / edited by Gweltaz Guyomarcâh, Frans A.J. de Haas.
Description: Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2024] | Series: Philosophia antiqua, 0079-1687 ; volume 170 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: âThis volume sheds new light on Alexander of Aphrodisiasâ On Mixture and Growth as an intelligent and carefully crafted rebuttal of Stoic blending, which Alexander regarded as the closest rival of his own brand of hylomorphism. The authors explore Alexanderâs dialectical method and determine the precise character of the Stoic theory he attacks. The problematic notions of mutual co-extension and infinite division appear in their proper context, while the successive stages of the process of blending are carefully distinguished from the resulting state of the blend. In this perspective the discussion of growth that closes Alexanderâs work finds its natural placeââ Provided by publisher.
