Book Synopsis A Textual History of Cicero's Academici Libri by : David J. Hunt
Download or read book A Textual History of Cicero's Academici Libri written by David J. Hunt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the problems surrounding Cicero's Academici Libri, including why the work exists in two different editions, why and when the work became fragmentary, and how it managed to survive. It achieves this by tracing the history and influence of the work from Antiquity to the present day. The main part of the book studies the manuscript tradition of the work. All extant manuscripts are fully described and their textual relationships are established. Historical information is assessed in order to show the part which manuscripts played in intellectual life, conclusions are reached on the archetype of the work and a full stemma of the tradition is built. The book contains a wealth of bibliographical information and will serve as a base for further study in the transmission of Cicero's works.
Book Synopsis Cicero's Academici Libri and Lucullus by : Tobias Reinhardt
Download or read book Cicero's Academici Libri and Lucullus written by Tobias Reinhardt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-12 with total page 1119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cicero's so-called Academica is a significant text for European cultural and intellectual history: as a substantial and self-contained body of evidence for one of the two varieties of scepticism in antiquity, as evidence for Stoic thought presented on its own terms and in interaction with objections, as a key text in a broader tradition which is devoted to the possibility of knowledge arising from perceptual experience, and as evidence for the fate of Plato's Academy in its final phase as a functioning school. This volume is the first detailed commentary on this set of texts since Reid's, published in 1885. It takes full account of the scholarly debate to date and seeks to elucidate the dialogues and fragmentary remains from a philosophical, historical, literary, and linguistic point of view.

Book Synopsis The Radicalization of Cicero by : Katherine A. East
Download or read book The Radicalization of Cicero written by Katherine A. East and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses a previously overlooked Neo-Latin treatise, Cicero Illustratus, to provide insight into the status and function of the Ciceronian tradition at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and consequently to more broadly illuminate the fate of that tradition in the early Enlightenment. Cicero Illustratus itself is the first subject for inquiry, mined for what its deliberately erudite and colorfully polemical passages of scholarly stratagems reveal about Ciceronian scholarship and the motives for exploring it within the context of early Enlightenment thought. It also includes an analysis of the role played by the Ciceronian tradition in the broader political and radical movements that existed in the Enlightenment, with particular attention paid to Cicero’s unexpectedly prominent position in major political and philosophical Republican and Erastian works. The subject of this book together with the conclusions reached will provide scholars and students with crucial new material relating to the classical tradition, the history of scholarship, and the intellectual history of the early Enlightenment.
Download or read book CICERO written by Tobias Reinhardt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first new critical edition of this text since 1908, and the first to appear in the Oxford Classical Texts series. The edition is informed by a comprehensive analysis of the entire tradition of Lucullus and Academicus Primus, and by a thorough rethinking of the text documented in the accompanying commentary volume. Lucullus and Academicus Primus are a key body of evidence for the development of Academic scepticism, one of the two varieties of scepticism in antiquity. The texts also shed light on the re-emergence of dogmatic Platonic philosophy in the first century BC.

Book Synopsis Platonic and Ciceronian Studies by : John Glucker
Download or read book Platonic and Ciceronian Studies written by John Glucker and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-25 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of essays published by John Glucker between 1987 and 2014 in various books and periodicals, now assembled for the first time. They deal with aspects of the contributions to Western thought of two of its major representatives – indeed, two of the major figures in the whole of European intellectual history – Plato and Cicero. All but one of the book’s chapters are in English, but ancient texts are usually quoted in the original Greek or Latin. Some of these essays deal with the interpretation of sections or parts of Plato and Cicero’s philosophical works, while others study the influence of these writings on the history of ancient and modern thought. Some of the articles are more technical, and will therefore be of interest to scholars and reserachers, while others are directed at ‘laymen’ with a good basic background knowledge of Western thought.
Book Synopsis Academic Scepticism in the Development of Early Modern Philosophy by : Plínio Junqueira Smith
Download or read book Academic Scepticism in the Development of Early Modern Philosophy written by Plínio Junqueira Smith and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how far some leading philosophers, from Montaigne to Hume, used Academic Scepticism to build their own brand of scepticism or took it as its main sceptical target. The book offers a detailed view of the main modern key figures, including Sanches, Charron, La Mothe Le Vayer, Bacon, Gassendi, Descartes, Malebranche, Pascal, Foucher, Huet, and Bayle. In addition, it provides a comprehensive assessment of the role of Academic Scepticism in Early Modern philosophy and a complete survey of the period. As a whole, the book offers a basis for a new, balanced assessment of the role played by scepticism in both its forms. Since Richard Popkin's works, there has been considerable interest in the role played by Pyrrhonian Scepticism in Early Modern Philosophy. Comparatively, Academic Scepticism was much neglected by scholars, despite some scattered important contributions. Furthermore, a general assessment of the presence of Academic Scepticism in Early Modern Philosophy is lacking. This book fills the void.
