Description

Ilsetraut Hadot belongs to those few scholars who have changed the status of Simplicius from that of merely a mine for Presocratic studies and revealed his value, not only for making out Neoplatonic doctrine but also for understanding the ways of commenting and philosophizing in late antiquity. Since her first article on this author in 1969, she has never ceased to show her interest in him by publishing studies, editions, and translations, as well as by organizing the first international conference dedicated to him (Paris, 1985).
