1 Anaxagoras' other world JAAP MANSFELD Vorsokr. Fr. 59 B 4 (II p. 34, 8-16) describes a world just like our own world, with men and other living beings, with cities and tilled fields, just as with us, with a sun and a moon and other heavenly bodies, just as with us. Surveys of the most important interpretative proposals which have been submitted so far - one excepted - are to be found in the recent literature'; there is no need to summarize them here in a systematic way. Simplicius ad loc. (In Phys. p. 34, 26-35, 21, more of which should have been printed by Diels-Kranz; p. 157, 9-24) pointed out, correctly, as I believe, that another world must be meant which is contemporary with our own world and which has its own set of heavenly bodies. Thus another part of our earth, or our moon, are ruled out. Simplicius does not discuss an infinity of world- systems of which our own world would be one. At p. 157, 24, he refrains from submitting a solution, saying merely that that it would be interesting to investigate whether he meant another world in one of the rejected senses
