Platonists for and Christians against an eternal world -- (i) Platonists Porphyry, Sallustius, Proclus: the Creator's eternal good will implies an eternal world created -- (ii) Proclus: otherwise he would sometimes be a potential, so imperfect, creator -- (iii) Christians: Zacharias, Procopius, Philoponus: being a creator depends on internal powers, not external products -- (iv) Christians Zacharias, Philoponus: God's will for a beginning is not a change of his beginningless will -- (v) Christians Maximus, Procopius, Philoponus: even Aristotle allows instances of white to come into being out of nothing -- (vi) Some Platonists: must not an endless world be beginningless? Reply: only if by nature endless -- (vii) Christians Basil, Zacharias, Procopius: would not an eternal world be co-eternal with God, and so have the same honorific status as its Creator? Replies: why same in all respects? And is God eternal in the same sense? -- (viii) Christians Procopius, Philoponus: is not effect chronologically later than cause? Reply: or only causally posterior? -- (ix) Platonist examples of effect with the same duration, but not status, as its cause: a shadow, light, a footprint -- (x) Christian objections to the analogy of shadow and light: Basil, Ambrose, Aeneas, Zacharias -- (xi) Philoponus, amplifying Aeneas: a shadow is not an effect -- (xii) Zacharias, Philoponus: sunlight is definitionally too close to the sun to be an effect -- (xiii) Do the Neoplatonists omit the role of the Ones will from their account of creation? -- What is so different about Philoponus? -- Part II Significance of the commentary tradition in Ammonius' school -- Chapter 5 Gregory of Nyssa on the creation of the world -- Introduction -- Does Gregory admit material bodies in his ontology? -- The challenge of the immaterial generating material bodies, without violating the LCL principle. |
