Derivative genera in Apollinarius of Laodicea: Some remarks on the philosophical coherence of his thought
- Abstract:
- That Apollinarius knew of derivative genera seems beyond doubt – at least for those who accept as genuine his correspondence with Basil of Caesarea. How exactly he understood them and how much use he made of them beyond this particular context is much more difficult to ascertain. I propose therefore to start from an analysis of the extensive and illuminating argument in this writing, which has been preserved in the corpus of Basil’s letters as Epistle 362, to establish the contours of Apollinarius’s theory. In a second step, I shall explore its background in Christian theology and in the discussion of the philosophical schools, while the third and last part of my paper will probe Apollinarius’s use of derivative genera beyond his letter to Basil and thus test the hypothesis that this theory permitted him the integration of various theological topics into one coherent whole.
