Title: | La phantasía des planètes dans la moyenne Antiquité | Keywords: | Teone di Smirne; Platone; phantasia; pianeti; Theon od Smyrna; Plato; planets | Issue Date: | 22-Aug-2006 | Series/Report no.: | Polymnia. Studi di Filologia Classica 6 | Abstract: | Secondo la testimonianza di Teone di Smirne, il commentatore greco di Platone, c’è un serio disaccordo tra Platone e i peripatetici - quale Adrasto - sullo stato del moto dei pianeti, in particolare sulle ‘stazioni’ e ‘retrogradazioni’ delle cosiddette stelle vaganti. Questi fenomeni erano la spia di un moto uniforme e regolare o ben più complesso? Nel secondo secolo d.C., le radici del dibattito erano lontane dall’essere limitate al dominio scientifico. Questa relazione presenta alcuni tentativi di spiegare le varie rappresentazioni del vagare delle stelle, tentando di chiarire il loro contesto filosofico-religioso. According to the testimony of Theon of Smyrna, the Greek commentator of Plato, there was a serious disagreement between Plato and the peripathetics – such as Adrastus - on the status of the movement of planets, particularly on the ‘stations’ and ‘retrogradation’ of the so-called wandering stars. Were these real phaenomena, or were these movements, as they seem to us, the appearance of a uniform and regular but far more complex movement? In the 2nd c. BC, the stakes of the debate were far from being limited to the scientific domain. This paper presents some attempts to explain the various representations of the wanderings of the stars, trying to clarify their philosophical-religious context. |
