Abstract
⺠Plausibly the signs on which Simplicius bases his tekmeriodic proofs are refutable. ⺠Their epistemic worth lies in their being probative rather than valid. ⺠Simplicius conceives of the acquisition of the principles as inductive. ⺠Simplicius evaluates these proofs against Plato's un-hypothetical knowledge. ⺠In his view their use does not grant natural philosophy autonomy from metaphysics.
