{"product_id":"s-strange-porphyry-9780715622445","title":"Porphyry","description":"Porphyry (AD 232\/3 - C.305) is of crucial importance for the history of Aristotelian studies. Born in Tyre and a student of Plotinus in Rome, he later defended Aristotle's Categories against Plotinus, arguing that they were entirely compatible with Platonism. His intervention was decisive: the Categories became a basic textbook of logic for all subsequent Neoplatonist teaching and influenced both the Arabic and Western Traditions. Boethius drew heavily on Porphyry's treatment. The full commentary is lost, but a shorter version survives and is translated here.","brand":"Bristol Classical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53798192677206,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/s-strange-porphyry-9780715622445","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
