:''This article is about Aetius of Antioch, the 1st–2nd-century BC philosopher; for Aetius of Antioch, the 4th-century AD theologian, see Aëtius of Antioch.'' Aetius of Antioch (; (ギリシア語:Ἀέτιος)) was a 1st-〔Dorothea Frede, André Laks, ''Traditions of Theology'', Brill, 2002, p. 15.〕 or 2nd-century BC〔W. K. C. Guthrie, ''A History of Greek Philosophy, Volume I: The Earlier Presocratics and the Pythagoreans'', Cambridge University Press, 1962, p. xix.〕〔("Aetius" ). ''Encyclopaedia of Islam''.〕 doxographer and Eclectic philosopher. ==Works== None of Aetius' works survive today, but he solves a mystery about two major compilations of philosophical quotes. There are two extant books named ''Placita Philosophorum'' (Περὶ τῶν ἀρεσκόντων φιλοσόφοις φυσικῶν δογμάτων, "Opinions of the Philosophers") and ''Eclogae Physicae'' (Ἐκλογαὶ φυσικαὶ καὶ ἠθικαί, "Physical and Moral Extracts"). The first of these is Pseudo-Plutarch and the second is by Stobaeus. They are clearly both abridgements of a larger work. Hermann Diels, in his great ''Doxographi Graeci'' (1879), discovered that the 5th-century theologician Theodoret had full versions of the quotes which were shortened in the abridgements. This means that Theodoret had managed to procure the original book which Pseudo-Plutarch and Stobeaus had shortened. He calls this book "''Aetiou tên peri areskontôn sunagôgên'' (Ἀετίου περὶ τῶν Ἀρεσκόντων Συναγωγήν)"〔(''Astronomical and Astrophysical Transactions'', Vol. 25, No. 4, August 2006, 357–358 ).〕〔John Burnet, (''Early Greek Philosophy'': Section B: Note on the Sources ).〕 and therefore we ascribe the original ''Placita'' to Aetius. Diels claimed that Aetius himself was merely abridging a work which Diels (1879) called ''Oldest Tenets'' or, in Latin, ''Vetusta Placita''. Unlike Aetius, whose existence is attested by Theodoret, the ''Vetusta Placita'' is Diels' invention and is generally disregarded by modern classicists, e.g., the 1999 ''Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy''. Quotes which are ascribed to Aetius in scholarly essays were actually discovered in either the abridgements of Pseudo-Plutarch or Stobaeus, or Theodoret's full quotes in rare cases, or finally one of several ancient authors who provided corrections to misquotes in one of these works. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aetius (philosopher)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
